Due to variances in bike manufacturers, assembly, models, control box housings, etc., the Clever Lever Cruise Control may need some special assistance for installation, but not always as most are installed the first time out without extra assistance. When we say the Clever Lever "can" fit all bikes, it can. However, due to these variances, sometimes adjustments must be made to accommodate the large selection of bikes we are working with at this time. The ideal space needed between the grip and the control box housing is 1/8". However, two thin washers are provided for larger spaces up to 7/16". For those with larger spaces, who are handyman types, grips can be removed and reglued with your choice of adhesive for a better fit.

Most people install the Clever Lever the first time in 15 to 20 minutes. Others have a bit of a challenge when their grips are not properly installed in the first place. The Clever Lever Cruise Control will work with the Kuryakyn ISOs, as long as the manufacturer pre-installed them properly. The inner black/charcoal ring needs to be absolutely flush or inside of the outer chrome ring, otherwise, the Clever Lever will not be able to fully engage in between just the chrome outer ring and the housing, which will prevent it from staying put. If the gap between the grip and the housing is more than 1/8", we can provide two small washers to help tighten the fit.

You may have to remove your grip if the space is too large. The inner plastic sleeve will have to be removed and trimmed (at the extreme right end), which will allow the grip to be installed closer to the housing. Quality control seems to be lacking with KA grips in this area.

Victory: 1/8" to 1/4" will need to be shaved off the bottom plate that sticks out at the bottom and side of the control box housing, facing the grip. The rest of the installation is standard.

Please ask questions BEFORE drilling the hole in Step 3!
It is much easier to help with installation before the hole has been drilled, especially if things aren't lining up correctly.

GRIPS - BOLT - LEVER (extra washer if needed) - HOUSING - O-RING - NUT

Important: "CLCC" Stamped on the Lever, goes Out!

1. With scissors, cut out template by trimming around black borders. Align template edges with straight edges to the back half of control unit and tape in place. (Mind your Ma and don't run with those scissors.)

2. Mark hole only and disassemble control unit. Check for clearance of bolt and adjust mark for hole if necessary. If an adjustment is necessary, check to make sure the Clever Lever will engage in that new position.

3. Drill out mark using a ¼" or 6mm drill bit. Clean out, start putting bolt through hole, slip on O-ring between housing and nut. Hold nut using needle nose pliers and a 4mm Allen wrench (you might need to use a screw driver to wedge for final tension). Tighten nut so that lever moves with some resistance and will not fall freely. It does not have to be very tight to work. If an extra washer is needed, it is designed to fit tightly for extra tension.
Do not elongate drilled hole in control box!

4. Reassemble the control unit.

Additional Notes:
The nut can turn or not. The O-Ring provides a soft tension, giving the bolt and Clever Lever some flex. The Clever Lever wedges into the space between the housing and the grip. Washers provide spacing so that enough tension is achieved to hold the lever and grip. How hard the Clever Lever is to push up, yet stay in place, is determined by how tight you have the screw. The screw may be so loose as to dangle and swing freely (like mine because I'm too busy to open the control box and tighten it). If the Clever Lever is that loose it will let you make small adjustments with the throttle and roll off when you reach for the brake. If it was tighter it wouldn't have to be re-engaged after brake application. The spacing in the control boxes varies a lot, but the function of the Clever Lever can be adjusted to function as per your personal preferences and will work in spite of these discrepancies.
