Adjustable levers? (Read 96 times)

Nobody seems to make them for a low volume bike like the Savage.

You can heat your lever with a propane torch to soften them, and then reshape them.....the temper will return to the aluminum after a few days. Rub a bar of soap on the aluminum before you heat them. and only heat until the soap begins to darken. Also you should trace a pattern of how you want the lever shaped before you begin bending....and you can reshape without reheating as long as you do it within the same session....don't wait several hours.

Someday I will be old......But not today!
