NOTES
The Panic Snap attaches to the Clutch lever. It is important to measure your bike for an optimal fit. If you are not already familiar, this can be done with a tape measure, ruler, or via the approach illustrated below:
First, start by measuring the discount Clutch Lever Diameter. This will ensure the Panic Snap will attach securely. See the Specs for the Clasp Diameter of the Panic Snap.
Next, measure from the lever to your foot board. This is your maximum length, give or take an inch. Nothing but soft tassels (if the whip is equipped) should pass this line, as anything pass this line has potential to come in contact with the road.
Another approach you can take is to simulate a whip. To help visualize the whip, tie a weighted (or knotted) length of string to the Clutch Lever.
Gradually adjust the length of the cord to arrive at the optimal length that serves your bike best.
In check for proper ground clearance, be sure to check the length while the bike is upright, and parked. The whip, or its assumed end, should NOT touch the ground--Ideally, even in a turn.
While the cord is attached, bring the cord up alongside you, and near parallel to the ground, to check its flight path.
Ideally, nowhere along this line should the whip be in any potential, or long term contact with you, nor any part of the bike--especially hot, and/or moving parts.
Once everything feels right, measure from the top of the clutch lever to the very end of your whip: This is the ideal and optimal whip length for you and your bike. Shorter is always ok, but longer is not recommended.
