:guns: i went to my local shop and they told me it'd be 46 bucks to replace my brake lever. then i looked around online and found this (http://houseofmotorcycles.bikebandit.com/partsbandit/oem_schematic_view.asp?schem_dept_id=717091&section_dept_id=1&section_dept_name=OEM+%28Stock+Parts%29&dept_type_id=2&model_dept_year=2001&model_dept_mfr=Suzuki&model_dept_id=703275&model_dept_name=GS500K1) website that also wants 46 bucks
anyone think they can find me a cheaper brake lever (or tell me why they're so friggin' expensive :dunno: )
front one?, if so, is that the price for both the lever AND the piece that goes between it and the master cylinder :?
Ebay. Do a search for "GS500" you'll get about 5 sets in silver, black, carbon... whatever you want. Both brake and clutch.
I just got a set of carbon finish, they shipped quick, fit perfectly, and only cost me $19.95 + shipping.

The Lockhart Phillips brake lever designed for the '96-'98 GSXR 600/750 will fit. It is also adjustable and retails for <$15. Order from your local shop.
Just ordered mine from Bikebandit.com Thursday evening. I think it was $23 plus shipping.
Here some cheap ones off e-bay. And you get the clutch lever as well

A local shop in Baton Rouge sells them for $12.95 plus tax every day. Somebody's trying to screw you. Are they 24k gold plated or something? :roll:

I did the same thing except got the silver ones. Forget $46, they're trying to take you to the bank!
thanks guys, i'll probably get the one off EBay.

If you have a 2001 and newer (from the price you do) the levers changed - and the old style ones you find on EBay won'tfit
