    Actually Dave it's a simple QD method of releasing the clutch lever to change it in the event of damage (I had one like that on my old race bike) - the lever pivots on a hollow boss (the hollow bit being where the cable tie runs) and in the event of needing a quick swap you simply snip off the tie, pop out the boss, replace the lever, pop the boss back in and lock in place with a new cable tie - the only tool needed is a set of side-cutters [smiley=thumbsup.gif][/quote]

    Every day is a learning day, cheers Scotty!
