Can I change the brake levers

Post by gail314 »

on the PCX?

My hands are smallish and I find myself straining to reach the brakes comfortably.

Yes, there are a number of aftermarket alternatives, many of which have handspan adjusters so you can set the distance between lever and bar to suit.

There's lots of options on Webike: http://japan.webike.net/HONDA/PCX125/Le ... model-top/

If you don't want to import from Japan, most brake levers are similar. You could ask your dealer if they have any aftermarket levers that would work.

I'm going to be so in trouble from our anal chum but have you considered gently bending the levers to the form you want.

Off the bike of course and in a soft jawed vice

True, they have a few here: http://www.powerbypcx.com/boutique-tag-guidon.html

I'm sure you could ask them in this thread if they have more than what is on their site: http://hondapcx.org/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=208

No I haven't bought any yet. I'm still looking. When I went to my dealer they said no they didn't know of anything. My guess is because they are mostly a Motorcycle dealership with scooters being a newer market for them.

It looks like this is something I will need to change out on my own so I'm reading up on it and watching videos.
