Here’s how running a small business can suck!
I made these mechanical rear brake levers originally for 𝑭𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒌𝒊𝒆 ⚡️ 𝑲𝒍𝒆𝒑𝒂𝒅𝒍𝒐 it was just before I went to look after my dad so I was rushing a little.

The first onewas way too tight and the lever sat too far forward.

Mistake 2: I tried to be a smart arse and estimate the tolerance to fix this when I should have got a NOS brake cam to measure the new batch, but I didn’t! Batch 2 ended up being too slack and held the lever too far forward! I didn’t realise till I’d shipped 4!

Mistake 2: I tried to fix the lever position which is a simple task of just changing the angle of the shaft hole……..but I lost concentration and changed it from the REAR of the lever which meant I moved it further forward!! Do**us! Again by the time I realised…..the replacements had already been shipped to the customers on my dime of course! :-)

So here I am, embarrassed and humbled but also honest.

I will persevere and fix this issue and my customers will be supported in full and for free but this is a good reminder to me that things can wait, i dont have to operate a million miles an hour all the time.

It’s also good for everyone to see the reality of running small parts business internationally. Every mistake costs the bottom line, and since I simply can’t have every bike available to me to fit these things to so I rely on people test fitting things for me, which takes time. For this time, and patience i am grateful.

Here to more creativity and hopefully some working brake levers before Christmas!!

From 20-41mm Dellortos, then 275-1000 series amals there are so many unique threads that are best tapped in the mill rather than with a traditional tapping tool. The brain melting stuff is trying to ensure after contraction of materials that there will be sufficient wall thickness for threads to be cut.

Let’s see how this goes later down the line, till then I have a mistake to fix, but more on that later.

NEW PART!
Late model (Post 1970) triumph forks and yokes are largely unloved but not by me! Along with my offset riser bushes I now also make this Dual 4.5” headlamp mount for them, making sure the headlamps don’t foul the fork tubes.

Made for my personal bike, and sold worldwide as of now.

The Indian Engineering Australia team have been patient with me as I figure out the best Indian Scout/Chief linkert snap back throttle solution that I can. There about to test this the best way……on the track!

Just like all my other snap back throttles this carries the same:
Easy Idle Adjustment
Easy Throttle Stop Adjustment
6 spring rates
Over and Underslung spring options
Left or Right cable entry
Internal or External throttles
Push or Pull Throttles

Every option covered AND if you find an option that is NOT covered, I’ll figure it out and if you test the solution for me, your first linkage is free!

I also have solutions For Harleys with Linkerts and Indians with Scheblers.

timestretch reached out to me to see if AwardCycle could solve clearance issues when using CV40’s on shovelheads. The issue is that the large push/pull throttle cable bracket would foul the front head and need to be modified to fit, it’s an monstrosity of a factory bracket so I got to work and in a month or two I had whittled the design down to this!

Idle screw and Throttle stop are retained, but the cable is pulled hard close to the body and angled in the same way as my Super E/G Solution for a smooth response and better routing.

Priced to sell and online tonight there’s stock on the shelf for the working Joe.
