Thanks!!!! (PS:  If this has been covered in a previous thread, please excuse me.  I cannot get the search fucntion to work for some reason.) ~4L3X    Report

Im still working on the clutch side Ill post if I find a good one. Yes sir. I know I just ruined your weekend, but I'm not the one who blew up their bike Thursday night at the Burnout contest! Have a nice day!    Report

One of them worked as a shorty clutch lever with only a little sanding, I can try to dig around and see if there is another similar lever if that's what you're looking for. No luck matching the brake side yet. Edit: Forgot to mention mine's an 82 CX500C. Attention to detail! Agh! No idea if they're the same as your bike.    Report
