the Brake Lever Yes but not the clutch lever, you'd have to buy a gsxr clutch perch if you want it to fit, its quite hard to find clutch levers really, i bought some adjustables' they were designed for a bandit, i thought them may fit, the brake lever was perfect but ended up buying a bandit perch to fit the clutch, works perfectly

A quick search will net you all you'd ever hope to know about brake and clutch levers. I found no less than 10 separate threads though there are probably more.

That said, the only direct replace adjustable matching clutch and brake levers are by LSL, which go for around $125 per lever IIRC.

Many people around here have converted to a clutch perch from an early sv650 as they will have a threaded mount for your mirror....if they wanted to swap levers from stock that is. Others have used other perches, depending on whether or not they needed the threaded mirror mount.

Watch the replace clutch lever video in the sticky thread for a few more details about the reasons more levers aren't direct swap.

jdoorn,
You're talking about a direct swap being an issue.

What about a total new perch/lever combo. I have bar ends so no need for mirror threads...
Any issues you know of?

It's possible the new perch may cause clearance issues for the clutch cable against the gauge cluster. However, it's subject to some debate.

Check out Slipperymongoose's handlebar change video. He actually changes the clutch perch from stock to a different model as part of his swap.

Also, try searching for "clutch perch" as it may provide more details I've forgotten.

Gotcha

My gauge cluster has gone bye-bye and I have club mans going on so I doubt its gonna be an issue.

Thanks for the insight.

While looking at my k1 gixxer it seems that the cable won't be an issue or even anything else that I can see I was just gonna order the handles themselfs and a k1 clutch perch
