CRG vs JAP levers

[xtremelow]

Well as most know I am in the process of rebuilding my bike, so instead of dropping $100 on a new brake lever as my last one busted in my crash I want with some Ebay special GSX-R levers.

Here is a small slideshow and some thought.

Overall they are nearly identical, only difference is the clutch cable end hole is smaller which requires you to remove the plastic guard on the end, also the base of the JAP levers is actually bigger.

In a side by side you can see they are the same lever just small changes. Weight, feel, and overall look are great and identical to the CRG's.

Buddy of mine has those on his xb12...likes them just fine, although the black anodized sections have faded a bit and are reddish now.

let us know how they work when you install it[up] (how much was it?)

 

[xtremelow]

Yeah, I am planning on taring them apart and getting them powder coated to match the frame color and get rid of the shine, I will have the black redone too.

Price?

 

[xtremelow]

$50 + $13 for shipping so $63 to the door

 

[dave_xb12r]

Mine were $54 shipped. Buellxb should be posting a video on how to make them work soon

 

[xtremelow]

Dave, did you have to remove the plastic cable wrap?

[dave_xb12r]

So one more question what exactly has to be modified? is it the clutch cable, lever, or both. Thanks in advance

 

[dave_xb12r]

There is a how to video that I made. It's up to Buellxb to post it. I'll let him know that he needs to post it

These are out there as well. Not sure if they're the same levers or not, but they're about $5 cheaper
