Righteousstuntmetal Clutch Lever

Shameless plug for a great product!

Had a talk with Josh at righteousstuntmetal.com about his levers.
Bought one and got it un-blinged raw metal with the delrin bushing. Looks great.

Most important, it's cured all my grabby clutch issues.
The clutch action is smooth and transparent as it should be.
Well worth the price.

Money shots...

Just curious, what makes it smoother??? The delrin bush ??

You can also get it with a needlebearing instead of the delrin bushing. I opted for the delrin due to it being a dirty bike, less to worry about.
It's a combo of things that makes it work better IMO.

1.) The bushing itself helps with mitigating the resistance which is nice.
2.) The cable barrel hole is relocated to add leverage and the perch is engineered to add leverage as well I assume, thus reducing pull. That's the main thing.
3.) The fitment and tolerances are far advanced over the OEM unit. Take a look at your stock lever assembly. The lever flops up and down in the perch, a sloppy fit at best. No way is it in the same class as most European street bike levers. Actually I'm surprised how crappy these are considering how well put together the rest of the bike is.

Add all this up and what you have is a precise and consistent pull on the lever.
I honestly thought there was something going south with my clutch. It's Kalani Prince's review that sold me on this one.
Now if I could only talk Josh into making a nice matching brake lever...

BTW, I bought the 'long' lever (shown in pics). It's more a 3-finger affair over the 2-finger stunter lever.

I have the same lever (but in anodized black)

Amazing build quality on this piece.. Super easy to pull compared to stock..

If you don't have one yet.. Get one.. You will not regret it!

I plan to buy of these sometime this summer. There is nothing worst than getting arm pump after a long day of technical riding because of hard clutch pull!

I bought the Black shorty (stunt) clutch with delrin a couple months ago. Clutch pull is smooth as butter and i love the shorty because I never used more then two fingers anyways. Overall, Great product and has a lifetime warrenty!

Another vote for the RSM lever. I've got the normal length one which seems to work great as a two finger for me.

Now if only they'd make a matching front brake lever ;)

what did you do with the "no start in gear" switch?

Capped and stowed. Ziptied to the handlebar.

Maybe someone with better PR skills than myself could get a group buy going?

Maybe all order the same color/lenght/bearing to simplify production and shipping?

Just a thought. I'm on the fence, and a savings of a few bucks might sway me.

Ditto.

I have the same lever and absolutely love it.

Rapid dog, can u advise on how you u capped the clutch safety switch while installing this lever? Thanks

Aw crap, just when I thought I didn't need ( want ) anything else for the bike and now I'm going to end up ordering one of these.

Now whether to get shorty or long lever. I'm thinking the shorty would be handy so I can keep a couple of fingers on the grip while clutching for a wheelie.

What's the verdict from people who've bought one? Has anyone bought a shorty and wished they bought a long lever or vice versa?

I got a rubber bolt cover available at any hardware store and used it as a cover for the swith, a little tape to secure, then zip-tied the swith to the handlebar.

I'd go with the longer lever, it's already a 2-3 finger length deal. No need to get the shorty.

For those who have the piece, what do you guys use to clean / lube it?

Do they make a brake lever? I want one but not interested unless there is a matching set available.

went to the web site and the mail client is not installed properly. How did you get ahold of them? Email does not work.

Has anyone found a matching set of levers for the WRR? All I can find is ZETA.

I've been running the needle bearing lever for a couple of years. Just wipe off the dirt and go. I have Bad arthritis in my hands which is why I bought the lever. Fabulous!

I got the one with the Derlin bushing, when I got it the piece was already lubed and it came with a paper saying to clean and lube it to insure it functions properly. Maybe I can use some contact cleaner to clean?

I would just call up the maker and ask them what to use!!

what have folks done about remounting the left mirror when using this clutch lever?

...I have Highway Dirtbike guards with the mirrors built in. You can buy independent mirror adapters for the bar clamp on from different vendors.
