M 50 custom machined levers - Page 2 - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

Cooley, I also like the idea of some new levers.
But it looks like the levers are different for different years. I know the '07 look larger then '05-'06. Just thought I would put that out there....

The levers are different for the 07 & 08 models. I have an 08 and there is nothing but stock levers out there right now.

How about crash bars for M-50 with John's forward controls. I know a lot of people have made extensions for crash bars, but some custom crash bars in blk., that don't stick out to far, would be great.

Thanks

Wow it definitely sounds like there is a market for custom parts.

Or you could do what I did a long way back... I wanted something black.. HDs stock controls were black.. and who doesnt make a custom lever or grip for an HD...

Dark Knight.
Nice.

I had those mirrors on my M50 2007.

The levers, mirrors and grips are a perfect fit, surely you get compliments.

Are the grips cold in winter?

The Dark Knight · 07-02-2009, 09:15 AM

Colder in the winter hotter in the summer...its aluminum so they really dissapate the heat quick or absorb it quick in the winter from bare hands... whenever you grab them.. I usually where gloves in the winter though because the heat in my hands goes away quickly and the cold here during that time will cause your fingers to chip off after they freeze when a rock hits them from the road.. the summer has never been a problem just the the winter is fine with gloves

I'd settle for the stock clutch but closer to the grip!!!

I do like the idea of black levers.
