i run 15 front and 46 rear most of the time, i have got up to 408 miles out of a tank with this combination, and the 46 is available here but the stock size 45 isn't

new clutch and brake levers
 

i placed an order for a new set, from China...i am really not happy about getting stuff from China and most of it is $hit, they were cheap so it was worth a try, i paid $40 inc shipping (around 25 pounds)

they are CNC machined, and hard anodised, as i owned a motorcycle shop and now work in a CNC shop if they were bad they would be in the trash straight away

these are the shorty version

fitting took all of 5 minutes, perfect fit, brake side is easy, clutch side you need to take the tension off the clutch cable with the adjuster on the bars, that's it...undo two nuts and bolts and do them back up with the new ones on

when the sun comes out i'll get better photos

nice work on the old centre stand also, i remember you were whinging about it in your rtw photo post ;) gonna be a whole lot easier dealing with tyres and wotnot on the road now presumably.

i wanted it more stable, as the bike blew over in Patagonia, Pat just posted the same thin he's down there right now

i have about 1 1/2 to 2 inches of clearance, should be enough for jack up links and a new rear wheel

Hi rtwpaul
Levers look awesome
Any chance of posting link for them on here please
I've been looking everywhere for them levers.
Thanks bob

nice, chinese asv`s.

they are based out of Hong Kong and as Feck said "nice, chinese asv`s"

it would surprise me if ASV have them made by these guys, let me tell you as a CNC machinist these are good quality machined not cast out of sponge like most of the parts out there

they are a perfect fit, no cutting or filing required like some had to do that i read on here

the ebay link is for US ebay but they say they ship worldwide

these are the parts you need as they don't specifically stock for the XTZ

Suzuki - GSXR 600 1997 - 2003 Clutch
Yamaha - FJR 1300 2004 - 2008 Brake

once i sent them this info they sent me a money request via paypal, it took about ten days to get them

kev fuel mod install
 

Kev fuel mod install, relativity simple to do, about a ten minute job, unclip the connector, i pulled it thru to the right side of the bike so i have room to work.

i added a good length of wire, around 3 feet, i didn't want the switch under the seat. when travelling and the bike is loaded its not always easy to get the seat off, as i have done some serious elevation changes in a day i wanted it accessible

simply cut the blue/ black wire from the sensor and add the unit, i double heat shrink it and run it under the tank

...and then mounted it to the windshield with heavy duty 3M double sided tape so i can make adjustments as i'm riding

I love the short levers and more so the price! just ordered a set for the z at 25 quid delivered for two levers, thanks for the info

Eric

Great looking levers, I ordered them myself. I made a horrible mess of the order so I hope it goes through. Forgot to add paypal note while paying, sent a message on ebay but forgot to add what colors, sent another one with the colors... Fingers crossed!
