Billet brake Levels

[dragonweld28]

The stock brake levers seem to break pretty easy. I have these in stock now. $105.99

Are they the same length/bend as stock?
They look cold on the fingers, any heated options?

 

[dragonweld28]

Same bend and length. No heated option.... is that an actual thing? Never heard of that before.

Yes a must have if your going to a billet lever as the material gets too cold while riding and your finger sticks to it.

 

[dragonweld28]

wow.. i thought you were joking...

Guess i have never used a billet lever before.

No was being dead serious lol They look awesome and great idea as the stock ones do break easily but having your finger stick to them while riding is no fun either

It’s pretty easy to rig up a heating element for them though I might grab one from you do you have any RAW ones

 

[dragonweld28]

i have a few raw ones.

You could run engine coolant through them. That would be trick!

too complicated on such a small part imo. Heating element be much simpler and easier to install.

 

[Cableguy]

or dip it in plasti dip before install

I'd be interested to know what element you use. I have a TKI lever and get stuck.

Not intending to derail a thread but when I used to ice race dirt bikes I would wrap my levers with hockey tape. It helped a lot to keep my fingers warm(er), and no sticking on them.

Yes. Please post the element.

My thumb needs warmth.

Honestly I am running a billet lever on my alpha this year and have never had any issues with anything sticking to it or freezing up once and also had a billet on my 14 with no issues either . I think for the guys who want to run one , you shouldnt worry about freezing or sticking.

Broke my Alpha brake lever on a pine cone. Had the billet lever last weekend and worked great. Good to pack a spare lever if your still running the stock one.

I'm worried about the master cylinder now that i have a billet. I have seen a couple of those broken.

Yes the on the 2020's they have a notch in the brake lever to make it more sacrificial and not break the mount on the master. Also it sounds like the masters are back ordered.

Serious though! Where have you sourced a heating element from? I do need extra heat! My current thumb warmer does nothing!

Any Cat thumb heating element will work, tie it into the thumb warmer.
