Hey guys i have a 96 gsxr 1100 with a hydraulic clutch. I want to change the levers on the bike to aftermarket short units. what clutch lever would work for this? I tried a hayabusa lever but it didnt fit up. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Really? I love the short ones, I put them on every bike I get because they're like $25 on eBay and look fantastic.. I would really like to figure out how to get this to work. The hayabusa lever is set up the right way, it's just too thick to fit into the perch, I can't grind it down because the part that hits the switch will be removed

what do you need the clutch switch for? Just remove it and connect the wires.

i could probably mill this down a bit and tig a stopper on the end but that's a pain in the butt I would rather just buy one that works. I guess I'm gonna buy a set for the sv1000 and see if that works.

I looked up the sv1000 levers, they don't seem to be compatible by the looks of them in the pictures.

Ya I've been trying to eyeball the style of lever that mounts in the perch... The hayabusa I really thought was going to work from my research... Now I'm lost lol
I didn't think there was any way to reference the dimensions of stock levers?
