Can I use a Katana Clutch perch/lever?  in my recent crash that broke on me.

I have one too I was wanting to use. Because it doesn't have the hole for the mirror. I'd be interested in knowing if it would work too, I don't see why it wouldn't though.

Kat will work, levers are different, and the kat lever is much easier and commoner and cheaper than the GS's. Yes no mirror perch.
Cool.

You can also use one from a nakid SV650, it will have the mirror mount. Or just buy the half of the clamp that has the mirror mount. I did that with the GSXR clutch lever assembly I am using on my 92. I did have to modify it slightly to get to fit properly, maybe something with my setup.

I'm having trouble removing my old clutch assembly. I can't get the rubber boot back to pull the cable out. Any tips?

You just need to work it over the adjuster, which may be run out making everything tight. I never had a problem with it, but then I never used it either.

I'll probably just end up cutting it off because I get so frustrated.  :icon_rolleyes:

I'll give it another go this weekend.
