ABSTRACT:
On a motorcycle handlebar having a handgrip, a control lever pivotally supported on the handlebar normally extends outward in an angular position relative to the handgrip, but may be selectively pivoted toward the handgrip in order to actuate a brake or clutch of the vehicle. The actuating handle of the lever has an intermediate portion of its length which, when the lever is pivoted inwardly, engages the surface of the handgrip. This intermediate portion of the lever handle provides a hook which may be grasped by the forefinger and middle finger of the hand of the rider, while he is keeping the palm of his hand and the two smallest fingers in firm engagement with the handgrip. The rearward extremity of the lever handle is offset in an outwardly direction relative to the hook portion so that, when the lever handle is pivoted inwardly, the two smallest fingers of the rider are not mashed by it.
