Chinese Levers

[Ash]

Had read a bit on FB about these Chinese Levers from the2wheels.

Am in the process of replacing the original Katana Master Cylinder on one of my Kats as the bike has flat bars and the Master cylinder is designed to go on the clip ons and just looks wrong with the new bars.

Bought a secondhand Master Cylinder off eBay for a GSXR750. Had to make a small bracket to hold the reservoir upright as it normally connects to the top yoke.

Thought I would treat myself to a set of new levers, otherwise I would have one black and one silver. They turned up in just over a week, which is pretty good for stuff sent from China. The brake lever fitted right on, no problem. The one for the clutch however needed a bit of grinding and cutting before it would fit as it wasn't designed for the original Katana clutch lever bracket. They even came in natty little bags. Seem to be pretty good quality.

ive had some on mine for over a year still working ok and the clutch fitted fine think they were off a 600

Yeah, had to do a bit of work on the clutch lever, as I was using the original clutch lever bracket. Main bit that had to come off was the flat part that presses against a micro switch on the GSXR. Seems to work okay now.

I have the same type of levers on one of my other Kats, but that has an R1 master cylinder and a Honda clutch master cylinder (engine is a 1200 bandit) so ended up having to order two sets.

which r1 cylinder did you use ash i had one off an o5 and couldnt get it working right allways felt like air in it. it was a radial jobbie

[Ash]

Mine isn't radial, so not sure what year it was.

that may be why got a slingshot one much better now

After having a nightmare ride home with a broken off clutch lever from my bike being knocked over, I keep a cheap copy of both levers tucked under my seat. Not as good fit as the originals on my gsxr750 master cylinder, its got more movement up and down and less travel than stock..

I've got these on both my bikes, both seems quite good, only thing that's let them down is a sloppy bush in the clutch pivot, but if anyone needs I've got some tube 10mm out side and 6 mm inner out of steel to replace the original bush, just tell me how long you need it
