Just a query for any who have used them, how practical, comfortable to use are the combined clutch/adv ret and brake/choke levers? Does the adv/ret lever get in the way of clutch use for instance? Or restrict horn/dip switch access?
Not worried about whether they are correct for the year of my bike, just looking to tidy up a civvy ex WD machine (16H) and this seems a nice compact arrangement but have not seen them up close.

Thanks
Iain

Hi Iain..are you referring to BSA type 'combination levers with the ratchet front brake lock or 'piggy back' levers of the conventional type with the controls for adv/rtd and choke on top?...Ian

Ian

piggy back i suspect, i wasn't aware of the ratchet type arrangement. I was looking at the Vintage Replica Amal type.
Besides "improving" a Norton with BSA type levers would be almost blasphemous.

Don't forget BSA normally had 7/8" bars and Norton had 1" until around '44?. The BSA combined levers are expensive, especially if they don't fit!
Cheers, Mick.

Some BSAs pre war had 1" bars I believe and combination levers can be found in both sizes..too posh for a Norton though... ..Ian
