If your Harley Davidson Big Twin Evo or Twin Cam has a worn transmission lever replace it with a Better Lever

The  BETTER LEVER  part and  repair process eliminates the need to remove and reinstall your bike's primary drive or to replace the transmission's shift shaft. Evos and Twin Cams have a motor assembly that ties the engine, transmission and primary drive together into one solid assembly. On 5 speeds the primary case is too close to the  transmission's shifter shaft to allow the stock shift lever to slide all of the way off of the end of the shift shaft.  The inside primary case used on 6 speed models has more clearance around the pawl shaft area so replacement is easier.

When your stock shift lever strips there is damage to the transmission's shift shaft (pawl shaft ) as well. Though it is made from a much stronger steel than the stock lever it's splines are compromised enough that the proper repair procedure was to replace it as well. The Better Lever is made to grip your old shaft even after the original lever has been stripped on it. Splines are measured and cut for an exact fit to grip in areas a stock lever never touches.  Better Levers are CNC machined from stainless steel and the splines are EDM cut for production consistency.  It saves you money and solves a reoccuring problem.

Typically my customers have around 30 to 35 thousand miles on their bikes when they have to replace the stock lever. Most ride FLs and use their heel lever. The gradual wear becomes more noticeable when it gets hard to find neutral. Like my experience, a few have confessed to putting off the repair until their foot lever fell down onto the floorboard. Believe me, it definitely gets your attention then. Some will pull the primary, are doing a seal replacement perhaps and want to bolt on a Better Lever as well.  Municipal garages use them on their Police bikes. Many everyday riders use a Better Lever and enjoy the reliability too.

Better Levers are Made in America and sold worldwide.

The Better Lever is delivered to you in a natural stainless machined finish and if desired can be painted, powdercoated or polished.  The levers shown in the page headings have been polished on a buffing wheel.  The "how to" video and instructions recommend red Loctite for a permanent install.  For an easier future removal and reinstall use Loctite's blue.

The Better Lever is $189 and shipped by USPS Priority Mail,  $6 to USA,  $20 to Canada and Mexico and $24 to all other countries (includes shipping and cross border charges).

Thanks for your time and Enjoy the Ride!
