Clutch Lever

Hi all,

My father broke my clutch lever over the weekend and since I have to replace it I was wondering if anyone else had upgraded to a better or fancier lever and if they could offer some sites or helpful tips, if I wanted to do so. Thanks! :2tup:

It might sound obvious but don't forget that if you get something different you'll have to swap the brake lever too, to make it look right :2tup:

Re: Clutch Lever

Go to the 'parts for sale' threads, jamezgreen is parting out his bike and may have a clutch lever (original, though).

Edit: um, 'fancier' - I wouldn't know. Glue some gold leaf on it, I'd say.

Re: Clutch Lever

You might try Iron Braid

IIRC, the levers with braid from the old 750 Intruder (or 750 Marauder) with 7/8" bars may fit.

I'd call them to verify. You may be able to mail the some stockers and have them braided if all else fails.

I had these on my 1400 Intruder Chopper. Very cool.
