Title: Adjustable levers
Post by: DizzixX on June 03, 2011, 11:01:48 PM

Are the 2000 B12 levers the same as those used on the 01-06 B12?

I would like to put these on my B12

Also if anyone has tried these or has some kind of insight it would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Anyone know where I can get levers with more than four positions that dont cost an arm and a leg?

Stock meh. If I went stock I would just buy cheap stock levers. I just want more adjustability. Shorter wouldnt hurt either.

I am almost tempted to get the cheapest 01-06 levers I can find and see what it would take to make them work.

After searching more myself I pretty much could only find those two links as well and some other oem looking levers.

tell us how that works out.  If you can make them work, post how, or perhaps you can sell a few.

For the price of the china shorties I'd buy them and see what it takes to make them work. It looks like the brake lever is the same, so it's probably just the clutch you'd have to worry about.

I got mine $40 delivered and the quality is pretty good. I ended up buying them for a gsxr front brake master and then just bought the clutch perch that matched. Keep your eye out on eBay for a more recent b12 clutch perch.

i put some of them jap crap ones on mine, been on 2 years with no problems and used hard ? mine were for a honda so i fitted a hornet perch and converted my fluid clutch to cable and a couple of washers for brake lever. have heard some horror stories about some of them since and would pay for crg or pazzo just for piece of mind next time i rebuild the bike. seems to be some are good some are bad but not worth the risk imho

Thanks for the input. Yeah when I looked more closely the nicer looking ones were 40$ a side so thats really only half price compared to the name brand.

If I find some for cheaper I still might look into it.

For the ones above I paid $25 + $15 shipping for a set. I looked to see if the seller had any for the b12 but he was selling individual levers for the same price. Wtf.

This was the seller

For anybody with a 1250 you can get a set for $40 shipped

An interesting an informed test on the knock offs vs stock vs pazzo

I've got the anodized BanditMania levers. They work fine, but after two years the coating has worn off in spots.
