A: Sheridan hand controls are manufactured to fit the Milwaukee factory, 5/16
thread with a 9/16 base diameter, or any direct replacement mirror.
A: Sheridan hand controls are manufactured to use the Milwaukee factory hydraulic
lines and 3/8-24 thread fittings, or any compatible replacements.
A: The Milwaukee factory, switch collars are too large, as are the stock switch
collars on the large cruisers of most other makers. We are currently developing
our own reduced size, low profile switch collar.
A: Sheridan hand controls will mount to any handle bar with 1" mounting tubes, but
the stock switch collars may need to be modified or replaced with smaller
aftermarket pieces to provide, lever resistance arm clearance.
A: Sheridan hand controls are warranteed for life
under normal road use conditions.
If the units should become damaged or need repair,
we will arrange to provide
the necessary repair service.
this a Sheridan Tech only procedure $$?
A: Assembly and bleeding instructions are provided with each $25 rebuild kit, and
should be within the ability of the average mechanical enthusiast, or Sheridan
Tech will perform this service for free.
juice system?
A: We are currently developing a clutch cable pull unit, that will look like, behave
like, and by all outward indications, appear to be a hydraulic device.
A: No, each unit or pair includes 1 large and 1 small syringe for reverse flow
bleeding and isopropyl alcohol cleaning.
A: Dot 3, 4 and 5.1 brake fluids, are glycol based and caustic. Because Sheridan
hand controls are bled out, through the ports at the master cylinder open end, any
residual fluid of these types, could be disasterous to paint, polymer components
and humans.
A: Considering the different riders, styles and techniques, you could consider an
average of 30,000 miles, or whenever there is a noticable degradation of
performance.
A: We offer black or clear anodize, in a satin or gloss finish. If the customer prefers
a different "standard" anodize color, we can arrange it.
bare metal?
A: Yes, on request we can ship the units unassembled, in unfinished bare metal.
Note in the purchase page "option request", if you will be powder coating the
body and /or the lever, therefore requiring extra clearance.
A: All Sheridan hand controls have our signature logo, except for those requesting
"powder coat".
