Looking at replacing the stock levers on my 2009 GS500F. I really like the look of the Carbon fiber ones but having trouble locating any that specifically say they will fit my year/model.
The majority of ebay hits return results for the GSX, I can't imagine they are that different if at all but wanted to see if anyone else has done this before going out and buying something.
If you had searched the forum before posting, you would have found approximately 250,000 threads that speak about this. Okay, maybe not that many, but hopefully you get my point that this topic has been covered ad nausem.
Brake lever is compatible with many other bikes, but clutch lever is unique to the GS500. Watch the How to change clutch lever & How to change brake lever videos that adidasguy put together. They are remarkably informative for the short length of each video.
Thanks his videos are very helpful. I actually did search before posting and it was the reason for my post...way too many topics with conflicting answers so I just wanted to start fresh. Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction!!
The only problem I see with everyone saying search, search, search.............is if thats all everyone did, then this site would have LESS traffice than it already does and it doesnt have a lot as it is.
Im thankful people ask questions and start new threads. It gives me something to read, learn and participate in
I bought a pair of the short style Pazzo knock-offs from a vendor named EZmoto on Ebay. They were made for the SV650. The brake lever is the same but the clutch will require a clutch perch from the SV.
I am VERY impressed with the quality. They are every bit as nice as the Pazzos in a side by side comparison. I liked them so much, in fact, I put a second pair on my Triumph.
I got all black w/a red adjuster:
