Thats a good idea also. I might try to improve on that and use a hard rubber washer so it does no damge the cable at all.

Ok Guys/Gals , this is what I did, I bought some hard rubber plumbing washers slit them and put them around the cable between the lever and the hard stop, and adjusted the back brake with the easy wing nut at the rear so it was not grabbing. On the front I had to remove the two jam nuts as there was now adjustment left to loosen off the brake tension, placed a washer on each cable and that was it. Moved the levers in about 1/2-3/4". I would say the washers were about the size of a 1/4" inch flat washer and about 3/16" thick.
I must stress you need to realy check your brake adjustment after this as if you move it in to far you will not have enough movement to apply proper braking
Actualy this is what it says on the card for the washers
rear brake I used 1/4L Flat washer used for faucet
front brakes I used 1/4l Beveled washers used for faucet (A Little Thicker) need two washers on the front one on each cable

Same here, my son is really having a hard time with his brake lever, 1 inch closer would be perfect. I tried to come up with a solution for his Sunl 90 but with no luck, also does anyone find it strange that the brake lever is on the left side ?

If you are only going to have one brake, its better to be onthe left. I took mine apart and looked at machining a new bracket. Too much hassle so far. I may try and get another brake handle and see if I can machine it at a different agnle and bolt it together.
