"I removed the lever with a 14 mm
wrench. The lever then just pulls off. I hacksawed the
end that holds the rubber on off the upper lever off to
match the size of the Jeep manifold stud I happened to
have around." |
 |
"I then heated and bent the round part
of the lever what would be forward and up. Be sure to
measure where you want it carefully and don’t bend
the flat part of the lever as it has to clear the case.
At this point I rechecked that it was where I wanted to
it to go by installing it on the bike. I wanted it where
I would not bump it but my hand could reach the
knob." |
 |
"I butt welded the Jeep manifold stud
to the round part of the lever. Then ground the weld down
to match. I selected a piece of pipe to beef the diameter
of the rod up to what I considered would be strong." |
 |
"I rejected a piece of my old stainless
music stand as too flashy, a piece of an old steel camera
tripod was too spindly, but the pipe was just
right." |
 |
"Measurements indicated it was a press
fit on the stud so I cut it to the length I wanted and
heated and pressed it on. After a coat of gloss black and
an auto parts store knob rethreaded to pipe thread it
seems to do the job." |
