I didn’t explain the bit about the extra travel very well. The existing lever has quite a generous distance from pivot to cable fitting and thus moves the inner quite a way when operated through its full stroke (but it fouls the switchgear if that is fitted) Using this lever the valves are lifted towards the end of its stroke ie it’s taking up a lot of slack movement in ET165 before lifting the valves. I’ve another lever here where the pivot is further from the handlebars and thus misses the switchgear but which doesn’t move the cable inner so far - with the rocker caps off to observe, this lever at full stroke is barely causing the front exhaust pushrod to move and not moving the rear exhaust pushrod at all. I don’t want to pre load the ET165 in order to get the stubbier lever to work.Moving the whole of the valve lifter lever should not affect the adjustment of the cable. The inner and outer cables move together. I have used the switch cluster of the 500 cc Honda across the frame V twin (sorry don't know the model number) and it is superb.
