Has anyone ever changed the Brake Levers

Post by gail314 »

on their PCX 150? I'm assuming based on other threads that they are the same as the ones on the 125.

I'd like to change the stock ones out.

Help?

Can you take a few pictures of your levers from different angles? I'd assume they're the same, but I've been wrong with assuming things about the PCX 125 vs 150 before. ;)

the front brake lever is from the honda parts inventory for some model and is a poor shape for my use. haveing been a rider and racer for many years it is a must to be able to apply the front brake and control the throttle at the same time. my practice is to use the trigger and index fingers to pull on the front brake lever and use my thumb and my other two fingers for throttle control at the same time. the shape of the stock front brake lever has a large hump where my two fingers would be wraping around the lever, not a good fit and required extra reach. i purchased a set of levers made by Bikers from our on-line friends at Powerbypcx. this fixed my poor lever design. the left rear lever shape from Bikers brand is also good. thanks, Powerbypcx.
