Abstract
The control lever equipment for a bar handle vehicle enables smooth pivoting of a grip allowance adjusting mechanism for a control lever with respect to a grip. In this equipment, the control lever is composed essentially of two pieces, i.e., a lever piece and an operating piece, which pivot coaxially independent of each other on a support shaft attached to a holder fixed to the handle bar. An adjusting pin for widening and narrowing the grip allowance between the control lever and the grip of the handle bar is attached either to the lever piece or to the operating piece pivotally on an axis parallel to the support shaft. A resilient piece is interposed between the adjusting pin and a bearing for bearing the shaft end of the adjusting pin, formed either on the lever piece or the operating piece, to be coaxial with the adjusting pin.
