This setup cost me a lot less if I'd shop for a commercially available lever, and that means having someone else own an exact duplicate. Tigging this was enjoyable. It puddles well and resists bending after. I didn't need to do stress tests as the only pressure it needs to worry about is a deft flick of the wrist. I tried bending it manually, flexes a bit but nothing more.
Still at a loss whether to just black it all over or chrome it. Black chrome would be great. Hmm.. a thousand bucks a pop just to have this crap plated. There must be some other way. I'm also in a hurry to finish this thing as I don't want Brutus hibernating too much and miss all that sunshine. Have to take advantage of the clear weather before the rains come. I was thinking of a skull knob but everyone else has one already. Settled for a cheaper, sicker alternative.
The extra links come in handy as custom grips. As it is, the lever looks thin and lacking. Feels good when you close your hand around it. Looks like a spear headed sperm from here. Purely unintentional. Primer gray and ready for chrome.
Will visit a friend tomorrow for the final rig on the bike to set this sucker up and finally running. A locally made suicide shift bike. Nice.
