Re: not enough room for hand brake

Slide your grips along the bars and use a smaller bar-end-weight in there. Pull the grip over the bar end about 3/4inch- now you've got room for clamps and switches.

I'm running a 'dirty harry' BMX shorty lever and clamp for my clutch, Brembo R1 master cycl, with standard switches -it all fits nice on '05 636 standard (flipped) clip-ons.

Re: not enough room for hand brake

i cut the ends of my hand grips and slid them down on the clipons, just enough to fit the two levers, i like to have my switches.

Re: not enough room for hand brake

i had mine zip tied by the air intake under the tank on the f4i. I could still reach it there fine and it freed up room on the bars.

Re: not enough room for hand brake

I rewired my high low, turn signals, and horn() into a few switches then mounted them into the ram air cover.

I like my **** looking clean but needs to be street legal still and i cant afford tickets haha

Re: not enough room for hand brake

I just bought some cheap switches, and mounted them underneath the plastic under my seat. I ran my high/low beam to one of them, and hooked up a manual switch for my fan next to it. Now the switches are completely out of the way and easy to get to.
