What do you guys use for replacement brake and clutch levers? Obviously OEM are overpriced, but I don't want to end up with some crap that doesn't fit correctly or isn't high enough quality to work correctly. And I can't afford expensive stuff like the Pazzo or CRG levers.......... Any of you Suzuki workers know if the '08 brake levers are the same as the '06/07 levers? I know they changed the master cylinder a little..........
I have had good luck with Lockhart-Phillips stuff. Good prices for racers, too, if you sign up for their Team Privateer program. I have learned that any spare part that I carry to the track will never again break on my bike. Now I bring a full set of bodywork, bars, levers, rearsets, etc. When I start sliding, some mysterious frorce grabs my bike and jerks it upright again. Then half a lap later my transmission breaks. (I didn't have transmission parts in the trailer before. Now I do...)
I have used the $18 eBay lever set made in China... They work fine till they hit the ground. Both times the levers snapped off at the base and I had to install a new set. The bonus was, when I did that on the clutch side, I did not mess up the clutch perch. normally you bend that a bit and have a loose clutch lever, but the china made levers broke with such low force that nothing got bent
