Title: Brake lever
Post by: CJ on April 12, 2009, 12:29:35 PM
Hi :)
  I was wondering if there are any other places besides a dealership to get an OEM right brake lever.  I have a '02 GS.  I tipped the bike and ended up snapping the end off the brake lever and the ones that are on the fiche diagrams at local dealerships are a bit expensive...at least it seems that way to me.  I'm having a heck of a time finding much on ebay.  Or, could someone suggest a brake lever from other bikes that may fit the '02 model?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks :)

There is a set of Carbon Fiber one's always floating around on ebay that have gotten good reviews here. I bought mine at a shop and was $11 not too bad it seemed to me!

Thanks so much :)  I think I'll probably end up ordering those because the OEM brake handle alone is listed as around $45 through a local dealership, which seems like a heck of a lot to pay for just the brake handle.

Run away from that dealer. My dealer charged $19. You can also go to bikebandit.com I don't know what they are trying to pull!
