Brake Lever?

[Pelikan]

Hey guys,

One of the original owners nipped off the little ball at the end of the brake lever somehow.  I'm wondering if there's an aftermarket replacement out there (i.e. what fits)?

Can get 'em off ebay pretty cheap. Come to think of it I may have one laying around. Mine is silver.

If toogoofy doesn't have one, I know I have some because I put on ASV brake levers (model BRC520 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=310285330122&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEBDIX%3AIT )

These should help:

Early year Gixxer 750 levers will work, too.

[adidasguy]

Correct. Need to add to the list:

gsxr 600  97-03
gsxr 750  96-03
gsxr1000 01-04

(According to the BRC520 compatibility chart)

Any matching levers for the clutch?

[adidasguy]

Not really. GS500 clutch perch is pretty unique and no one makes high end levers for it.
I'm having a custom clutch cable made to use with SV650 perch so I can have matching ASV levers.
When it gets here and if all checks out OK, I'll post the custom part number and where to order the cable.
I have modified an ASV lever to fit the GS500 perch and tried a few other mods of parts. When I decide on the best solution, I'll post it.
