GSX-R levers: They fit our buells

[ruben78207]

I got mine on Ebay for 55 bucks shipped, not sure why i actually received 2 sets same colors one day apart.
Like Buzzers said some work has to be done to them not the best finish, but the price you cant beat. i have some pics of my bike with them.

[ruben78207]

Put mine on last week. Not bad for around $60.

Thanks for this, just ordered a couple of sets to try from Hong Kong via ebay. Cheap at £24 a pair!

so are the grinding/filing modifications for clearance really necessary?

or was this just an issue for cronus?

i do like the look of these mods. good find.

What is the point of the "shortie" levers? It seems like it would be a pain not being able to grab the lever with all 4 digits.

a lot of people dont use all 4 filanges on the levers. I only use 1 or 2 fingers on the brake. when riding around i usually keep my middle finger on the brake lever just in case. its a faster reaction time if your already there and it easier to do when the lever is shorter. the clutch can be hard to two finger but with a short lever i would think its doable.

The clutch fit but the brake lever needed some minor fitting. I used a table grinder and a file took about 15 min to get it perfect.

cool, thanks for clarifying.

Wish the short levers were even shorter. They are long enough that the clutch forces me to use 3 fingers on it. If i didnt have the stock mirrors I would move the controls inward so that 2 fingers would fall just on the tips of the levers.

Something like this would be perfect:

In a issue of one of the stuntbike mags they had a one finger clutch lever that also help to reduce pull. the review of it was bad ass you could just fit two fingers even though it was meant for one. Want it sooo bad

Thanks for this post. My bike fell over in the barn due to all the rain we've had here in middle Tennessee and broke the clutch lever. Just ordered the cheap black ones from D2MOTO. But hey JB Weld is about to work some magic till they get her, I hope.

Great, thanks for the tip. I had ordered a new clutch lever for my XB9SX and a week later the HD dealer called and told me the lever was obsolete.... already! I'll hook the GSXR lever up.

I bought a set of the Fire Dragon Bros gsxr levers. It took a month to get them because they were held at the post office. (I'm never home when they deliver and the never left a slip - jerks)

I'm starting to put on the brake lever. I didn't have any problems with the front of the lever (the part that cronus really ground down).
When I put them on, they're pushing in the master cylinder. They didn't make the brake light go on, and it didn't really feel like it was making the front brake drag.
I have a feeling that's not right - especially after putting the stock lever back on and how it doesn't touch at all. Grinding it with a dremel is taking forever, so I'm going to bring it to my shop and use a bench grinder.

I haven't tried the clutch lever yet.


One thing to note: the red adjuster is a very light red. It's more pinkish than red. It not nearly as nice as the red on my roomies CRG levers. It's noticibly different from the stock red windscreen, wheels and Buell logo. It bad enough to go spend an extra $100+ though.

Guys, does anyone know where Ruben got their levers from?
thanks a lot

i put the gold shortie crg levers on mine and i love them

Here`s more of the same levers that will fit.Suzuki GSXR600 1997-2003, GSXR750 1996-2003, GSXR1000 2001-2004, TL1000S 1997-2001. Or item number 370369867795 on ebay.Like it was metioned above,you may have to shave the brake lever,or just knock out the brass bushing,and change the end piece(with the dial) out with the original.The reason is the gsxr lever would not release enough for when the brakes swell from heat,and it will make the front brakes apply,Just pop the bleeder on the caliper to release them.

I hav some of the Fleebay levers and holding my old CRG in one have an tge Jap lever in the other you can't tell a difference at all in weight or lever feel, there are small design differences but side by side they are identical.

Yes the coating might not be the best but like mentioned at a 1/4 the price you could have the recoated for $30 and still make out nice in the end.

I just ordered a set of black short levers with the red adjusters, I'll let you know what there like when they arrive.

I did have a set of Pazzos on my last bike but I didn't feel like paying that type of money again.
