After an all day ride, the tips of my fingers are "soiled" (dark) from the clutch & break levers. I am thinking of coating these with a spray of lacquer, or urethane, or such. Suggestions ?
Yep, riding gloves are the answer. All else fails and the gloves just don't work for ya, a hand spray with brake cleaner, then a soap wash. If you're allergic to brake cleaner or soap, then I don't have any suggestions.
Some people's perspiration can react with aluminum it seems.Mine is the same stuff the Alien drools.I wear gloves on even the hottest days.Maybe spraying the levers with a clearcoat will help.
All the above and someone finally comes up with the obvious answer. :clapping:I didn't even think of it. :Shrug:Amazon has a set of chrome Emgo levers for just $13. Not sure I would go that cheap, but they can be had on the aftermarket without costing too much.
...I had same problem...replaced my levers with Harley chrome levers (Chrome Hand Control Lever Kit).............now, if you don't wear gloves, you just get sweaty hands with no nasty smut on fingers.....expensive but "NICE!" ........these levers do not tarnish and are easy to put on trike.
