Cheryl, The control levers are quite malleable and bendable without breaking, as I discovered in a tip-over. I am not sure how you would control the bending process (tipping over makes control of the outcome difficult! ;~) I would think clamping them in a padded vise and using a long tube would work. I would obtain some replacements to experiment with. You would need to insure that you did not bend them so far as to make them inoperable, but they could be bent back if you overdo it a little.

I am a small female and my fingers are too short to operate the brake/clutch levers safely. I can only ride it for a little while before my hands cramp from reaching too far. Because the bike was manufactured in 1983, I cannot find adjustable levers to fit this bike.I LOVE the way that the bike handles and really don't want to sell it. I called a few companies but they don't have adjustable levers for this bike. Honda suggested that I install new handle bars. I was hoping that someone in this group may have run into this before and could suggest a company that sells adjustable levers that would fit the 1983 cb650. Any other suggestions are welcome as well. Thanks in advance! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
