Brake lever replacement?

[Lee]

Anyone out there in Scooter land ever replace their brake levers? Any good aftermarket alternatives? Thanks in advance!

Are you having a problem with your's ?

I did my stock levers with adjustable short ones. With high-performance pads you only need two fingers to brake, not all of them, and you keep a more secure grip on the handlebar and throttle. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Though they don't list the BMW scoots, I thing they have handles that interchange...for $50!


PUIG carries them, though...

Calling Skutorr...was the installation of the new levers pretty much plug and play?? Meaning that with simple tools it can be accomplished rather than taking it to the dealer and having them do it??

levers are easy to change

Snowdog, was right, the lever swap out was a no-brainer. Once this weather front passes in a couple of days, I'll be able to get the bike back out on the road and test/adjust the new levers...the have a 6 position adjustment. It's seems as if the OEM levers were set at 5 for the rear, and 1 for the front brake.

Easy-cheesy. Took just a few minutes for both sides. Shorty levers are great for two-finger braking; you keep a better grip on the bars and throttle for better control, especially into and out of curves.

Rizoma makes a fine pair as well
