Hi,
I'm used to driving a bicycle, and on my TBX 260, the front brake lever is too far off the steering bar. I have dual disc brakes, hydraulic, so I can't adjust it like on a bike with a cable connection. The rear brake works ok (starts braking when lever is half pressed in), but the front lever has too little tolerance.
The levers don't have a separate unit to control distance neither.
What should I do to get my lever a bit more towards the steering column?
thanks!

not really much you can do honestly. If you move it closer to the bars it will push the switch in the handle to activate your brake lights and they'd stay on all the time. You could always replace the handle with a smaller one or one that has more curve to it.

Maybe a local weld shop/fabricator could cut it and reweld it to your needs, if you cant just buy a different shaped lever.

Since the throttle is on that side you need room to twist it.

Replace the levers with some that have more of a bend to where the apex is closer to you

My scooter has adjustable brake levers. Are those not an option in aftermarket?

They are, (However I don't know if they are on my bike).
But even then, I don't want to spend too much on a lever. I was just thinking that perhaps I could do something on the brake caliper, or something to adjust the brake lever. Seemingly there's no option to do that (I don't know much about the brakes).
