Title: Wanting to replace clutch/brake levers for aftermarket one?
Post by: 666dragon on May 11, 2019, 09:59:20 PM
I have 2008 GS500F and the clutch lever tip is broke (still useable) but I want to change them for these ones I was looking at:
https://www.amazon.ca/Adjustable-1995-2004-1989-2008-1996-2003-1994-1998/dp/B07JW2RTW1/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=gs500f%2Bclutch%2Blevers&qid=1557636858&s=automotive&sr=1-3&th=1

Now I'm aware that my GS500F has a clutch switch underneath and my concern is will these aftermarket levers fit correctly, it says it compatible with it but can't see a slot for the switch to sit in.

Thanks

Most of the time the photo of the lever is a "stock photo", meaning that lever could be from a Honda CBR1000RR but it looks close enough to represent the GS500 lever.
In fact, the lever part itself is probably identical for all applications with just the lever base being changed to fit the bike.  The manufacturer/distributer save a lot of time/effort/money doing it this way.

Don't ever go by the photo.

Thank you, Watcher, for the reply, now I'm very eager for them to come in as I have recently ordered them!
