I laid my xb12r down not getting the kick stand all the way engaged and snapped the shift lever. Are there any aftermarket levers or other bikes that use the same linkage setup?

The linkage heimjoints use a smaller bolt (SAE vs Metric) than most other brands, so generic linkages don't appear to be very accessible when I looked recently. I didn't try to chase down just levers, there is a chinese rearset kit that includes a lever that is ALMOST swappable, but it expects to be on a bracket like the Uylsess setup so it's linkage connection is offset and would bind if you tried to swap it without the bracket. With the bracket the lever sticks out a bit more, pivot point is moved down and forward, but the lever is also longer so would work. The chinese kits don't include the linkage, or bolts to mount the bracket to the primary cover FYI.

That's listed as new OEM but damn if it doesn't look like a nicely CNC'd repo? That might go into the spares bin down the line...
If you're buying from BuellService, stock up on other things and have them combine shipping to ease that pain a bit.

A closer look and I'd say you're right. The OE toe peg is cast and not replaceable like that one too. The OP better buy it before one of us does:black_eyed:

Thank you so much! I don't know how this never showed in my searches but I'm more than grateful. I've been modeling and 3d printing my own lever to test and eventually send to a cnc shop as a last resort lol.
