Title: Will this front brake lever work (GSX1100)
Post by: noiseguy on November 11, 2009, 10:24:19 AM
Will this front brake lever fit the GS500? Looks identical, but the application isn't listed here. Parts Unlimited 44-3011. Looks like the stock part, right down to the adjuster.

I'm sure PU has a replacement lever but I don't see one in their catalog.

BTT. Anyone? Or does everyone just buy the new Suzuki part?

I have run various other levers, like katana 6's.
I'll get back to you after looking at the pics from home.
Cool.

Jeez, there's what I need right on Ebay. I even see one with the right finish.

Looks like these are the same levers to me, though the application chart varies wildly between the two parts. Not sure what's up with that.
