Another Clutch lever question

[Robobob]

Hi,
Managed to drop my f800 GS this morning, resulting in snapping off part of the clutch lever.
So, am now looking to buy new, and thought that this might be the ideal time to look at an adjustable/vario lever.
Touratech, as usual look expensive. Have seen mention of Wundelich, but not seen much evidence in the UK forums of them. And the cheaper option looks like Pazzo.
Are there any other recommendations out there. Would also appreciate any feedback on the ones already mentione.
Thanks (an embarassed Bob !)

not a recommendation but...

.....I've always fancied something like this

but too expensive for me

There may well be a cheaper folding lever but this was just a quick google search for a folding lever.

Fits some hand guards too. That way, if you drop the bike in future you won't brake the levers, thus can always get home with minimal fuss. A snapped clutch lever is a tad tricky to ride with.

Or, don't drop it!

What, you post that, and expect no stick, get real.

Clearly that's the preferred/recommended option but if you intend to venture off the tarmac on a regular basis, expecially in winter on muddy tracks, there is an element of inevitability that you will drop your bike. Well in my case there is.

Or .... depending on how much of the lever is left, you could just tidy up the end and leave it as a 'stubby' ....

Im going to order a pair of AS or prazo levers for mine they aint cheap but they are good and more comfi on the digits

 

[Robobob]

hi A B - are you going for thr short or long levers ? Is there much difference ?

 

[mark-forrest]

Can recommend the Pazzo's, the better half's got some on her new 650, they don't come in much closer than standard but the shape is better and they feel quality. She got the normal length and they seem about right. Think the shorties would be far too short. For extra bling she got the orange adjusters to match the lava orange bike.

Bear in mind that the standard brake lever is £40 cause I had to replace mine, which goes some way towards the cost of the Pazzo's

If I get chance tomorrow I'll post some piccies.

Cheers Mark, pics would be great. It's because of BMW's pricess that I am looking further afield. As I have to replace regardless, a little more investment for a better product is no problem.

Hi Robobob, managed to take some pictures of the levers earlier. (Thanks Dyane ;o)

One shows the lever on its own, the other with the original lever in approximately the the right position to show the difference in shape between the two.

I had the wunderlich one on my 800 after snapping my original off when on my way to Touratech to buy handguards to protect the clutch lever

I highly recommend them. I sold it to Zippygser cos my bike is moving on to pastures new.

 

[Robobob]

Cheers for the info and pics chaps ! Will order the pazzo tomorrow. Mind you, will keep the stock brake lever for now because of cash restrictions.

Highly recommended

I See a pattern developing here with you 800 girlies

you say you snapped them off so many of you I thought that you laid the bikes down gently for that piccy by the muddy -puddle

But please its no shame to admit that you have small weak hands. Maybe a little limp wristed I know some of you try to hide them in those muffler thingies
