Brake clutch lever upgrade
What do you guy's think of these, would it work as a straight swap or would i need additional parts?

Is there another solution for upgrading that's around $100?

Re: Brake clutch lever upgrade
I went with an 2012 FZ8 master cylinder and clutch mount to keep the stock looks, the reason was I wanted to keep my mirrors and I don't like the
remote reservoir sticking up on the RZ, Looks out of place, I also bough a set of these, really nice quality..http://www.ebay.com/itm/281671013713?_t ... EBIDX%3AIT" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Reservoir and perch with OEM levers were roughly $80 shipped, sold the OEM levers for $20.00

Re: Brake clutch lever upgrade
these were discussed end of last year on here
the levers are prefect to use
but do you really want to put a chinese master cylinder in charge of saving your life ?
buy a real nissin one from a early ish r6 and then buy some cnc levers and fit them

Re: Brake clutch lever upgrade
I used Pazzo levers on R6/R1 clutch and radial master cylinder. Shorty levers make the clutch pull harder (no real surprise).

Re: Brake clutch lever upgrade
I have CRG stuff on my Tuono and it's great. Comfortable and better action than stock. The RZ will probably end up with them as well since it has a Brembo M/C.
Screw all that Chinese knock off junk. Copying the look is easy but getting the product right appears to be difficult.

Re: Brake clutch lever upgrade
Wouldn't run the Chinese MC but the levers are fine. Lots of people running them on racebikes etc. I have them on my Daytona. Work good, look nice.

Re: Brake clutch lever upgrade
They are nice but don't come in all black which is the look i'm going for. I posted in a response on the engines forum the ones i settled on, they will come with a gold setting switch to match the new mirrors, i like a little bling lol

Re: Brake clutch lever upgrade
For an LC, anything WR250 R/X will fit.
I found the LC clutch cable end is longer than more modern cables and so the FZ8 clutch perch wouldn't work for me. Potentially the solution would be a different clutch cable.

Re: Brake clutch lever upgrade
Yep, They will work, No mirror mounts though if that matters, The FZ8 has them..
