F650GS levers
 
Anyone know where I can get good adjustable span clutch/brake levers for a 2007 F650GS Single?
Mrs Me has small hands, and the standard BMW levers are a bit of a stretch...

I have a '96 Funduro and bought my adjustables from a company in South Wales who run the Wunderlich Catalogue Sportouring Wunderlich UK Main Dealer They were pricey at about £110, but they have made a phenomenal difference to the riding/comfort. Worth every penny :mchappy:

Thanks Dee, I'll check it out.
How adjustable are the levers? is there a lot of movement?

If you don't find another solution, you could just put them in a vice, heat the lever with a blow torch and slowly bend them using a mallet or piece of pipe as a lever.

That's a good idea, but it requires me to own a vice. And a blowtorch.

I have got a mallet though :)

It wasn't just the span which improved greatly but also the pressure I needed to apply to the levers :thumbup1: but then I also found that with adjustables on my CBR. Having just checked, I can't remember what distance the originals were but the adjustment looks to be up to about 1 1/2 inches at the ball end (I think).

You could buy a vice and a parasene bottle torch for less than a pair of adjustable levers..

There's nothing more useful than a vice !! :)

I have some vices but they tend to cost money and get me into trouble beer I am not sure if that is useful or not.

hi all
The wunderlich's price seem pretty steep for a relatively basic part.
Anyone have any experience with other adjustable clutch/brake handles for the f650gs single?

Also; the sertao and later gs singles' levers seem adjustable as is. Are these interchangeable to the 2001 f650gs single?

Thanks for any information, i'm having a hard time finding anything that fits.
regards
