Title: Adjustable clutch lever suitable for GS500 m.y.2003
Post by: max95 on September 08, 2015, 03:42:22 PM
Hi, i have a GS500 produced in 2003. I have problem with my left wrist and the clutch lever is too far for me. I would mount adjustable lever and i found a lot of levers produced at Hong Kong. These levers are really suitable with the Gs500 produced in 2003? someone mounts these levers?
I post you some links:

I have a set of these.

Shipping was a lot faster than I expected.  You get what you pay for: they have thin anodizing, the adjusters aren't on rollers, you can see most of the milling marks from the CNC machine, and although my clutch fits and works great it doesn't line up to the perch as nicely as the factory lever.  None of those are big deals to me, as my GS500 isn't the prettiest anyway and I won't be adjusting them all the time.
I worked as a machinist for a while, and although I'll still say "you get what you pay for" if I was going to make a custom set for myself the amount of hours and material cost involved would be SUBSTANTIALLY more money, so as is they are a phenomenal deal.

You can sort of see from this picture, where the lever meets the perch it follows the curve well but the lever seems to pull away from the perch before the perch ends.  So there's a little gap.  Not a big deal for me.

Thank you to all! so, i would like another information. The adjustable lever can reduce the distance between the lever and the handlebar, do you confirm?
Thx

I wouldn't mind finishing the look on my GS with a set of short clutch and brake levers. I see yall have posted up some clutch levers , but what about brake levers or a complete set that fit the GS?

Most of those are sets, mine was.  Most let you choose your length as well, I went with a short clutch and a long brake.
