lever covers question

[ridefree40]

a stupid question at work ordering frilly crap for the bike . are the levers on a second generation wide or tapered?

I would not think it matters, but I may be wrong here.

You have to braid them on then tie the ends anyway.

What type are you looking at?

Ridefree40,

I have the leather fringe on my levers and at the present moment (I'm at work) I can only look at a picture, and in the picture (see attached) my levers appear to be tappered..

The lace is tight on mine..

I had to un-tie the lace, and re-lace mine three times to ge them tight because the leather streached.

You will have to re-lace them a couple times even if your levers are not tappered I would think because it does stretch.

Eck, What kind do you have? I would like some for my 2007. Do the fringes fly around while you drive?

Mine Are Always Slipping. Maybe I Need To Relace Them. I Thought Over The Weekend To Take Them Off.

Just a thought, has any one tried soaking them in water then tightening them up, once dry they sould be there for keeps!!

I have not soaked them in water, but mine are tight.

I have been caught in down pouring rain for miles, maybe that helped tighten them??
