Has anyone had any trouble fitting these?? I ordered them as advised above, the clutch lever is a perfect fit but the brake lever allthough looking something like origional is nowhere near going to fit. Ive included pictures, there where no part numbers on the packaging. Has anyone got a picture of what the correct fitting lever should look like??

Thanks in advance jon

Jon - Sorry to spoil your day, but you have not been sent the correct brake lever. The one you have is too thick, doesn't have the cup where it operates the piston and has wrong shape arm for the brake light switch. My guess is you've been sent a pair of GSX-R levers - you definitely haven't got the FJR1300 brake lever.

The correct lever's mount is an identical machining to the original.

You are the first person I have heard of that has been sent the wrong ones? You'll have to contact the seller and get another shipped out. Lucky they are cheap! ;)

Kinda guessed it wasnt the correct lever, I think your righg ive been sent the pair for the GSXR, Despite 3 messages and a note at checkout, stating what I needed, i have contacted the seller so will see what happens. If not ill order a pair for the FJR 1300 still cheap at 40 quid for.2 pair lol

Cheers pleiades

You can always then put the GSX-R brake lever and FJR clutch lever back on eBay - there may well be a bike out there that uses that combination of levers! ;)

Tbh id probably keep the lever blades and adjusters as spares, I do alot of trail riding and levers are always getting broken. Id imagine the lever blades are universal and the mounting section is the bike specific part???

Its funny because the seller messaged me on eBay to confirm my order, and said it was ok to order 2 levers for different bikes lol, will see what happens.

Thanks for confirming the lever isnt as ordered, for a split second I wandered if someone had fitted a new lever and mastercylinder.

Cheers jon

Same thing as me, they sent two GSXR levers and clutch fits but brake no-way! They told me I didn't send and checkout msg but clearly they got it as they provided silver on black short levers when the listing was red on black long levers. They are sending a correct perch to match and I will just swap the lever arm across.
So it's not an isolated incident!

Has anyone tried the flip up version from the same seller?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fit-Yamaha...item4854c09636

I'd like to give it a go...
they have required clutch lever but only list brake lever for 2003 FJR rather than 2004-2008 Pleiades is suggesting.

The 2003 FJR has a different brake lever which will not fit.

AFAIK, other models that have the same brake lever as the XT660Z are the 2005-2007 FZ1, FZ6 and TDM900. Check if they do a kit for these models and then mix and match with GSX-R clutch lever.

They do do Flip levers as I have just fitted some. Beautiful bit of engineering for the price. I think I might have had the last pair in black.

I ordered:

1x Suzuki - GSXR 600 1997 - 2003 Clutch lever

1x Yamaha - FJR 1300 2004 - 2008 Brake lever

Bit of messing around trying to get them. First pair were posted to the USA by mistake and disappeared!

E-mail them. They advise buying the levers. Then BEFORE paying, e-mailing your requirements and wait for confirmation of requirements.
Once confirmed, then pay.
