Brake Lever Adjustment

[AdamW]

Hey folks,

I'd like my brake lever just a little closer to my grip. Can the stock lever's position be changed? If not, what's a good and inexpensive alternative that fits on our NCXs? How hard is it to install?

Thanks in advance!

AFAIK there is no way to adjust the stock brake lever. There are a lot of adjustable levers listed on Ebay for the NC, but some forum members have reported issues with them not properly operating the brake light switch. They push against the switch at an angle and could possibly damage the switch. Having said that, I have a set of short and a set of regular length levers from Ebay sellers that work fine. It's one of those pay your money and take your chances things. There are also really high quality adjustable levers for the bike from other vendors, but they're also really pricey. eBay stuff seems to go for as little as $30 while the high priced spread seems more in the $170 range.
High quality and low price are two terms rarely used together when it comes to bike parts.

At that price I think I'll give it a shot! I wonder if they'll sell me just the brake lever....

Thanks for all the help, guys.

I emailed them and they said they'll sell me just the brake lever for $20 USD, shipping included. I PayPal'd them this morning, so now I wait. I'll post back with pictures and my assessment.

I have those and seem to be of decent quality. I have the shorties.

I think that if you have a look at some other Hondas, you will find an adjustable front brake lever that would be a straight swap. I used a pattern CBF500 brake lever which is the same as a cb600 Hornet etc. The pattern one cost me about £12 (approx. 18 US dollars).
