Abstract
A hand lever for operating a motorcycle clutch or brake is pivotally mounted on one of the motorcycle handgrips and includes a head portion and a handle portion extending away from the head portion. The handle portion has an inner surface facing the handgrip and which is concave in transverse section and an outer surface facing away from the handgrip and which is convex in transverse section. The handle portion is also tapered from its proximal end to its distal end and is pivotal toward the handgrip so that the concave inner surface is moved into proximity with the curvilinear outer handgrip surface.
