Abstract
A lever positioner assembly that is coupled to a handlebar of a vehicle comprises a lever, a lever holder, and a lever positioner. The lever moves relative to the handlebar between a released position and an engaged position. The lever holder holds the lever. Additionally, the lever holder is coupled to and movable relative to the handlebar. The lever positioner is coupled to the lever and is positioned on the opposite side of the lever from the handlebar. Additionally, the lever positioner can include an adjuster screw that is selectively rotated to adjust the released position of the lever relative to the lever holder and the handlebar. The lever and the lever holder can move as a unitary structure during movement of the lever between the released position and the engaged position.

A lever positioner assembly that is coupled to a handlebar of a vehicle, the lever positioner assembly comprising:
- a lever that moves relative to the handlebar between a released position and an engaged position;
- a lever holder that is coupled to the lever, the lever holder being coupled to and movable relative to the handlebar;
- and
- a lever positioner that is coupled to the lever and that adjusts the released position of the lever relative to the lever holder and the handlebar, the lever positioner including an adjuster screw that is rotatable to adjust the released position of the lever relative to the lever holder and the handlebar, the entire adjuster screw being positioned on the opposite side of the lever from the handlebar;
- wherein the lever and the lever holder move as a unitary structure during movement of the lever between the released position and the engaged position.
A lever positioner assembly that is coupled to a handlebar of a vehicle, the vehicle including a device, the lever positioner assembly comprising:
- a lever that moves relative to the handlebar between a released position and an engaged position;
- a lever holder that holds the lever, the lever holder being coupled to and movable relative to the handlebar;
- a lever positioner that is coupled to the lever and that adjusts the released position of the lever relative to the lever holder and the handlebar, the lever positioner is positioned on the opposite side of the lever from the handlebar;
- and
- an actuator that is directly secured to the lever holder, the actuator actuating the device when the lever moves from the released position to the engaged position;
- wherein the lever positioner adjusts the released position of the lever without moving the actuator relative to the lever holder.
A lever positioner assembly that is coupled to a handlebar of a vehicle, the lever positioner assembly comprising:
- a lever that moves relative to the handlebar between a released position and an engaged position;
- a lever holder that is coupled to the lever, the lever holder being coupled to and movable relative to the handlebar;
- and
- a lever positioner that is coupled to the lever and that adjusts the released position of the lever relative to the lever holder and the handlebar, the lever positioner including an adjuster screw that is rotatable to adjust the released position of the lever relative to the lever holder and the handlebar, wherein the adjuster screw does not extend into or between any portions of the lever, and wherein the adjuster screw does not extend into or between any portions of the lever holder.
