Have you recoated your levers? What finish did you use, and how is it working? Have you ever used Cerakote on anything, and how have you liked it? Drop in a comment and let me know!
Great choice of coating! If it can hold up to rifle barrel heat, it will hold up on the levers, guaranteed! Awesome color, I also would prefer more shine on them. I have thought about getting my pipe heat covers and slip ons done with Cerakote in a bronze.
@@RonsWorkshop Only have a couple hundred miles on them, so hard to tell yet. They were an old set of Alumacoat headers that were rough finish anyway. Made them look a lot better! 😎
Nice, I am seriously considering shorty levers. As a n amateur gunsmith, I love the cerakote! I want to keep the current tension on my clutch, but don’t like my gloved ring finger being pinched. I can’t see myself going shorty on the break. 🦅 of a 🪶 2020 Fat Boy 114, Subscribed
Hey Sm00th Top77 - we both obviously have great taste! Thanks for sharing your thoughts. And if you want a sticker send me a DM on Telegram, Instagram or Signal with the mailing info @RonsWorkshop
Hey Tom - yeah I totally understand. I wanted to be sure to cover that in the “negatives”. Oh, and I am planning on a giveaway when I post the Speed Kings shorty lever review video. It’s a little ways down the road but it’s in the hopper!
I had that same issue with standard 2 finger levers. Try Flo motorsports. They are not "shorty" levers but the thinner profile allows 2 finger use super easy. They make the pull feel incredibly soft compared to stock or typical 2 finger levers & are fully adjustable. I'll never get a different lever for Harleys
It may be different in the US but, I would imagine that an insurance assessor looking at an accident damaged bike would notice this and determine it is non-standard and therefore would give the rider less control in an emergency. Any excuse in the U.K. to reduce any form of compensation.

I like your honesty with your projects. Thanks for the video
Hey joejunior1974 - my pleasure…thanks for the encouragement!

That would look good! I also want to Cerakote my derby cover and maybe ghost something onto it as well.
@@RonsWorkshop Yeah Brother, that would look AWESOME!
Those came out good.
Thanks Preston! They’re working well :)
Awesome video as always Ron. Keep up the good work
Thanks, Nathan! Long live shorty levers :)
Thank you
inspired. thanks for the info.
Thanks for the kind words! Let me know if you give it a try.
I had a set of SBC headers Cerakoted for my old Z28. So far so good!
Hey 3krazy - that’s awesome! I never even thought of using it as a header coating. Any issues with discoloration?

Nice!
You should do a give away with the old levers.
Funny you should mention that...I almost included it in the video, but I think I will do a giveaway when I post the Speed Kings review 😁

I ride way too much in the city and my left hand gets tired even with the stock clutch lever. I’d love to try out a shorty before starting cutting. :)

Thanks for sharing that! I haven’t come across those levers yet. I’ll check them out sometime.
Man! I get a lot of Pistols Cerakoted. Would’ve been my second guess
I’m really loving the Cerakote! And now I find myself thinking of all the parts I could have coated :)

Hey Stephen - that’s a good point. And I’ll be the first to admit they’re not for everyone and there are tradeoffs to consider.
What’s with the obsession with levers?
Hey Paul - yeah I know. This too shall pass. But it’s been fun to work with them and learn a few things!
