Yep & yep. Posted a new thread over in production bikes gallery.

I doubt I'll do anything about... I've got a couple thousand miles on it now and don't ever think about it. I kind of like the click of the lever as I engage the brake...

But it is great to have a thread that goes through this!

Thanks 54ny77! The gum hoods look sharp. Brown leather wrap? Build pics pls.

Mama mia original hoods were a b!^&%$!! to remove. Replacement "gum" hoods from Hudz not that much easier to get on, although a liberal splash of rubbing alcohol inside the hoods helped.

Gum hoods courtesy of ntb1001, they are IMPOSSIBLE to find. Thanks amigo!

Glad to help...just a little gift for the Pog!!!

Well, I suppose I could test and see..each turn is pretty small amount of lever movement..wee set screw is pretty teeny. Its just as easy to turn screw and look at how much it moves on your lever..

Sorry for this question, im getting stuff lost in translation....

when you move that tiny screw the lever move in which direction???

The screw works like a stopper?

Not a 'stop..if you turn the screw clockwise, it moves the lever inboard..counter clock wise and it moves outboard..

Works great.

I'd say 1-2mm movement per revolution of the screw.

Right lever can change shift tuning, but very little movement onto the pad is required to eliminate the sound.

I aligned the lever with the outside edge of the pads, rather than dead-centering them on the pads.
