Hey Guys!
So when I got my ST1300 I was very excited that it came with a hydraulic clutch, as I really prefer them to the clutch cable.
I was sorely dissapointed when I got on my bike for the first time because 1: The lever was not adjustable and 2: The engagement of the clutch was WAY too far out for my hands to be comfortable..I was either revving the piss out of the engine or dropping the clutch too hard towards the end. I have to use winter gloves during the colder weather which means they have limited movement, especially when they are bulky and I need control over the levers.
So I did some research online and decided I was going to go with these sets of levers from The Two Wheels. I did research on the more expensive levers like AGV and their competitors, but seriuousy... $300 + for levers?! They're all mostly the same except for some minor differences. These levers were around $60 or so, so I was expecting something not so amazing when they arrived.

let me tell you, these are beautifully manufactured levers... made from solid piece of metal, CNC'd to perfection, beautifully made. Swapping them out for my stock levers, they fit 100% perfect with not a single modification needed, they were within the highest of tolerances for fitment. 2 minutes per side to switch over.
Within the first moment of riding, I set the clutch side to the #5 switch so that the clutch lever was closer to the bar.
I COULD NOT BELEIVE how amazing that made the bike feel. It was literally like riding a brand new completely different motorcycle. Having the ability to adjust the lever range on the clutch side made my bike feel like a much more powerful beast with the amount of control you can have now with more clutch control, instead of struggling with that horrible engagement on the last bit on the stock levers.
This so far has been the best mod I've done so far to to the bike for "Ease of usability"
I 100% recommend this mod to everyone. I would of loved to get the honda goldwing lever or the Kuryakn ones but they were not easy to source in my city.
PLUS, these LOOK GREAT. If you have any questions let me know!
