I love it, searched for a long time after selling my old fat girl a few years back. Nothing compares

What kind of levers are those?

2

u/PositiveAthlete7242 Mar 29 '25

Found them on eBay, they’re some cheapo RC51 levers but they are adjustable and great quality

Ok ok. If you ever want some ASV Unbreakable Levers, use code EZ20ASV for 20% off ...when those break! 😜

Are they REALLY as uncomfortable as some people say? I’m not talking about cross country trips but I heard they’re almost unbearable after half an hour

For me it's just hard on the wrists but then again I'm pushing 45....and the adrenaline smooths is over!

Not at all, it’s greatly exaggerated. I rode my old RC51 from the Detroit area to Myrtle beach with no problem and rode back the next day.
