LSL Shorties On T-Bird Storm

[atomsplitter]

After a month of waiting on my lever order from the Netherlands I had the opportunity this morning to install the new levers on my Storm. I also took the opportunity to lube the clutch cable since I had to pull it out of the old lever. I bought a Motion Pro V3 luber for the occasion and had mixed results. The unit was not leak proof probably due to the size of the cable and the seat ring on the cable end didn't allow for a complete seal. Got the lube down the cabe so it's all good (just a little messy). LSL provides an adjuster cap tool that fits over the adjuster star wheel so making adjustments in lever throw is a snap. Took the bike for a spin around the block and the new levers feel like all my other shorties, so it's good. Also the levers are closer to the bar so not a huge reach to get my brake or clutch in the game. Overall very satisfied.

How's the clutch pull effort with the shorties? IIRC, the T'bird has a hefty clutch pull.

Actually have more leverage with the short levers. Clutch pull isn't huge but it's not light like my Speed Triple either.

Cool!
I recall only ever needing two fingers for the front brake, as they were excellent brakes with good modulation at the lever.
