    Can anyone out there tell me the ASV levers to use? the cables to use with them and the length of the adjustment screw that will need to be used to make them work?

    Sorry guys but I'm leaning away from the stock Magura's.... the purists can shoot me at dawn...:D:D:D

    I also have a set of Shorty Sunlines rebuilt but like the hand /function / feel of the ASV

    LeftCoast... have you done this? Can you/anyone post up some images of an actual ASV install??

    Thanks,

    HuskyT- very easy to do, they come with 2 sizes of adj screws. you will need to readjust the clutch throw inside the case.

    Which ASV lever do I order? I had previously ordered a set and it did not look right and only had a short adjuster screw.

    The stock magura has a very long adjuster screw ... maybe .750" usable thread length

    Can I use one of Phillips sst braided cables?

    Dunno, just bought whatever the local Yamaha dealer had, i think the leverage ratio's are all the same (Honda)

    Might be a little late, but the Magura split perch levers are that way to go on your bike. They have the proper leverage to get your clutch disengaged when pulled. U can always lenghten the actuator arm on the top of the case if u are unhappy with the pull, but ur dealing with an old race bike that has a typically hard pull. u need Popeye forarms to work the clutch all of the time. Use the clutch to stop and go. Everywhere else just ease off the gas and shift. Husky trannies with those straight cut gears are pretty mucch bullit proof. Doesn't get much stonger. Hang and bang is the way to go. U rn't gonna hurt it. My 2 cents.

    IMHO can the Maguras, they give you arm pump.
