Horn button in clutch lever

[Anonymous]

I used mine twice today and saved me from going through drastic emergency maneouvres. Maybe an adjustable clutch lever is what you need.

They are adjustable. In what way do you mean?

They have a knob on the lever that allows you to adjust the position of the lever. You can set it to be far away from the handlebar or a bit closer. Just about all of the new sportsbikes have these on the brake lever and some have them on the clutch too. I have to wonder how much further in you can set them before it prevents the clutch from working.

I think using the starter button is a great idea. Re-route a new momentary switch for the starter to some place inconspicuous on your bike - out of the rain too. Or change it to the horn button

The only problem I could imagine is that you may not be able to hit it while applying the front brake. Are we back to where we started? 8O

EDIT: Gee, the GSR won't let me spell five-syllable words correctly. Must be a V-chip in the forum somewhere!

Yes, we all hate the *@%^$*@%^$*@%^$*@%^$ing censor. At least I all hate the *@%^$*@%^$*@%^$*@%^$ing censor. It actually makes me feel more free to say more *@%^$*@%^$*@%^$*@%^$ though. I don't have to give a *@%^$*@%^$*@%^$*@%^$ about those who would rather not see the black-and-white of my pottymouth. Those who infer it deserve what they get though.

There are lots of words that are banned, the big ones like I used above but lots of more obscure ones too. Occasionally words misspelled and typos create a banned word... slightly amusing.

You must have some weird controls or something. I checked out the ones on my '83 (the same, right?) and found that the horn button is by my thumb. What's the problem? Are you trying to say that when you reach for the clutch your thumb is sitting on the signal/high/low beam switch?

I have short fingers, and while I can easily touch the clutch lever and the horn, it is difficult to grip the clutch at the same time. Besides, I feel more comfortable with my thumb around the handlebar in a potential emergency than parallel as it would be to hit the horn.

[Anonymous]

HORN BUTTON IN CLUTCH LEVER

MY HORN BUTTON DIDN'T WORK FOR 2 YEARS
WHEN SOMEONES GRANDMOTHER ALMOST RAN ME OFF THE ROAD I SAID THAT'S IT I'M GOING TO FIX THE HORN

I MOUNTEDA UNIVERSAL HORN BUTTON ON THE HAND GRIP
SO IF I PULL IN THE CLUTCH MY THUMB CAN LAY ON THE HORN WHEN NEEDED AND NOT COMPROMISE THE CLUTCH OR HAVING TO MOVE MY HAND.
IT'S COMFORTABLE AND NOT IN THE WAY
