Hey, I couldn't help but notice in your signature that you have RM controls on your wheeler, and was wondering if the brake lever worked all right. I plan on swapping mine (its broke, anyways) with one from a bike (RM, prolly), because I want to put them there short polished levers with the soft, colored inserts on (I think they're MSR's in the Rocky Mtn ATV catalog).......So how do they work? Thanks......

 

I use a MSR Shorty on my LT and it works just fine.

DANG! That's the only part I don't have... I should have put that in my sig... I was planning on replacing it with the RM one, but I'm not sure... I might...

 

Dirt wheels did an article on a Duncan Zilla and the recommended CR perch and lever. I'm tryin it myself when I get the beast back together in a couple of weeks.

 

ineedabudlight, where'd ya get the shorty lever? I've only seen them advertised for dirtbikes (that's why I wanted to swap master cylinders) Thanks......And I think I might try the CR perch w/ a shorter lever too.......Latah......

 

Oops!! Sorry I have the MSR Cluch perch, But, I will be at my local dealer in the next couple of days and will ask the parts guy what years RM break levers will fit.

Keep us posted. I too am considering replacing the ugly, outdated, stock controls on my LT and going with the RM levers. By the way , 86 QuAdRaCeR, did the clutch perch and lever off the RM fit on the LT all right? Which clutch cable did you use, the RM or LT? Thanks in advance.

 

hey guys, i use a RTC clutch lever and i love it. it's two-way adjustable. The RTC brake lever is three way adjustable, so it can be fitted for you preference. their kind of expencive though... i paid $50 for a polished clutch lever, polished perch and shipping. but i really love mine

 

The clutch and perch went right on no problem. I used the RM cable, and deleted the whole parking brake thingy on the 86. (LT unit was trashed)

Keep in mind I used the RM engine, too. I think that the clutch and everything are pretty much identical to the 87+ LTs anyway so it might not matter....

I'll consider getting the RM Brake perch/lever now... my LT one is kinda crappy... I took a look at the RM one and noticed it's a bit smaller... eh... I'll ask around...

 

Just a thought....I wonder if its smaller because there's only 1 brake caliper on the bike instead of 2 on the quad.....I dunno, but do tell how it works!........Thanks......
