Thank you for your input.
I already found that info.

What i need is how to remove the actual rubberized handle grip.
So that the brake lever is bare ......i.e. no rubber on it.
thanks again

Can't, it's one piece. Been down that road. Well, you could twist really hard and see if it comes off, but thinking you'll be buying a complete e-brake assembly then. Bought the Momo Handbrake handle which slips over the existing handle and it doesn't fit...sent it back. You can go with MGW or wait. Someone will come out with other handles which slip over these.

If you're not going to reuse the rubber piece, how about slicing it down the middle with an exacto or other razor type knife? [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif[/img]

Yeah.. i think that is what I will do.
Slit it with an exacto.
If my Idea does not work, then I will just re-use the rubber grip and
wrap it in leather.
