Original HD #2426-36 – New HD #37051-36 – Our SKU #2426-36 Type 1, Our SKU #2436-38 Type 2

1936 - 1937 Type 1 2426-36 Clutch Release Lever

Depending on what you’re looking for, there are two different replica clutch release levers, (2426-36, our SKU 2426-36), available for 1936 to 1940 Big Twin Harley Davidson motorcycles.  Type 1 was used on 1936 and 1937 EL and U Big Twin models.  Built from two pieces being brazed together, this part is only available in Cadmium finish.

The left end, or main portion of the Type 1 lever, has a 5/8” diameter and two mounting slots with the clutch rod being mounted to the outside slot.

1936 - 1937 Type 1 2426-36 Clutch Release Lever

The right end is a separate piece, with a 7/8” diameter, that is pressed and brazed to the left end, actually making it a two piece lever.  It has a square hole that connects with the release lever stud , which extends through the kick starter cover to attach to the release finger.

1938 - 1940 Type 2 2426-36 Clutch Release Lever

Type 2 clutch release levers (2426-36, our SKU 2426-38) are made of the same two pieces.  However, they were welded together instead of brazed.  This allows the Type 2 to be parkerized.

The right end of the Type 2 clutch release lever is identical to Type 1.  Yet the left end has only the one slot to mount the clutch rod.  Type 2 was used on 1938 to 1940 EL and UL Big Twin models.

1938 - 1940 Type 2 2426-36 Clutch Release Lever

Clutch release levers are another hard to find part for your vintage Harley Davidson® restoration that we are proud to carry a near exact replica for.  Some serious workmanship went into making these as close as you can get to the original part.

If you are price sensitive check out SKU 8400, it is an entry level clutch release lever that will give your wallet less of a hit and works with 1936 to 1964 Big Twin models. If you are needing only the clutch arm end take a look at  SKU 2427-36.

1928 - 1936 HD Hand Brake Lever

1928 saw the beginning of what a front brake could do for sport performance and motorcycles on the road.  Although at the time they were thought useless, and it would be years before riders fully understood their functionality, Harley Davidson® Motor Company introduced their first model with front brakes in 1928.

These aftermarket front brake hand levers with brackets are so close to being identical to the real deal, you won’t be able to tell the difference.  Parts, that because of their perceived value at the time they came on to the market, are exceptionally hard to find original.  Making them all the more rare, and making our aftermarket replacements the perfect solution.

Available in Chrome and stamped GL4 (VL era), or GL5 (EL & UL era).
