How To: Honda CRF250L Short Levers Fitted to a CRF300L/Rally 4K

In this video I fit some economically priced, short, sprung levers, for a CRF250L to my CRF300 Rally.

I'm swapping them as I find, particularly on the clutch side, that two finger clutch pulls trap my other two fingers. By fitting shorter levers, two finger operation should be possible.

There are not many CRF300L/Rally levers available at the moment, and lots of CRF250 levers. The front brake lever is a straight swap and is easy. The clutch lever needs to have the pivot hole enlarged from 7mm to 8mm. This in itself is pretty easy, all you need is a drill. It's a bit more tricky than that though, as the problem I found is how to clamp the new lever both perfectly aligned for the new hole, perfectly level, and immobile for the drilling. I had to dismantle the new lever, then only clamp the pivot section, drill, clean up, and refit. If you've read this far, you don't need to watch the video!

If you haven't then all the steps are shown in the video. The levers I fitted are (affiliate links):
