If you have aftermarket hand brake lever like brembo or magura or accosato, etc then you can mount the clutch perch on the outside of the brake and take advantage of the extra leverage and extra throw.

Both options will position the lever close to the same place. The long lever will be much easier to pull. And all of this advice is assuming you are a somewhat serious stunt rider that is trying to use clutch and hand brake together.

If you have no hand brake then long lever all day!

Next, I cannot tell the difference between bushing and needle bearing. The bushing is self lubricating and that's what I use. And by the way if you don't know what this is referring to, it's the pivot point of the lever to the perch.

Hope my experience helps

Always down to throw out some great advice/experience!!

Good post, Nate!

I tried both and I like the long lever more. Best part is if you don't like it he will hook you up with a different one. Best customer service around.

Long lever and move it around. Short lever you don't get as much adjustability IMO

Both options will position the lever close to the same place, but long lever will be much easier to pull. If you are mounting the perch in the same place (like inside the brake) then there will be no difference in pull.
