Sorry Bonzo, looking at the PAZZO compatibility guide, it looks as if the Buell clutch lever is unique. :roll:

That's assuming that F21 is the brake lever and B55 is the clutch - if it's the other way round then a 99-01 Yamaha R1 or a 07-09 Kawasaki Z750 lever may work.


Just been on Demon Tweeks, the Pazzo clutch lever I need is "55S/BLK", but I think 70 quid is taking the piss :shock:

The genuine Buell clutch lever for my X1 wasn't expensive and it included the perch and clutch switch ;)


OK, but the reason I'm looking for the same thing from a different bike is that I may be able to find one locally, I'll ring the HD shop, but I doubt they have one in stock ;)

"Think"? Bonz.

It's getting to the stage I'm seriously thinking of making up a CAD drawing (well I'll get the architect at work to do the CAD bit) and ask my mate Nicolas to run it through his CNC mill.

My front M/C is now Brembo - so that's easy for an adjustable - Brembo.

The Clutch - I'm told a Guzzi Centauro lever/perch matches. Odd - I nearly bought a Centauro. Lovely motor - lousy riding position.

Yamaha FZS600 Fazer '02-03' Front Brake Lever fits an 07 XB12Scg.

I know this as I used to have a fazer, and when I dropped it last year turning in a layby I rode home thought it looked the same. About £13 on ebay


I purchased a Yamaha FZS600 Fazer '02-03' Front Brake Lever for the XB 9, broke the stock against the wall of the garage.
Fitted nicely at first and thought great,however took it for a short spin and the front brake locked up :ill:
Yes newbie :roll: i know no bullets please,anyhow no harm done and after some investigating found that the lever was applying pressure to the master cylinder,only 1-2 mm but enough to cause brake lock up after a few mins.
Filled away some of the profile on the lever and all is good.
So a word of caution in using these on an XB9.

I've just bought Mrs Adam some very cheap, Pazzo copies, Mlabel levers off Ebay. They're not the quality of Pazzo, but they're half the price.

Thought they'd make a nice Valentines present :yup: lOl

REAL ones would have been a better presiie - if Mrs Adam is looking. :ner:

Having recently been looking again - have to say I prefer ASV levers. Price is a bit silly though.

It'd be like giving me a pint of Real Ale when all I drink is the odd pint of Shandy ;) lOl
