Gold Levers?
 

Hi,

does anyone know where I can get my hands on a set of GOLD COLOURED levers for my naked sv650 (2000/y)?
All the usual places make them for every bike but the sv!! (demon tweeks, busters, m+p etc):?:

I think the question is why would u want gold levers? What colour bike have you got?

Re: Gold Levers?
 

Met Black but the guy who had it before me started to add gold bolt ons. Once it's finished it'll look sweet as I have a friend that is a pro motorcycle painter to redo the paint work black/gold.

Re: Gold Levers?
 

Thanks andyb. Unfortunately I've just had a look and they do every colour but gold for the sv! But I have saved that site to my favourites for the other stuff! Thanks

Re: Gold Levers?
 

Thank god u said black! I've seen far too many bikes that look like the owners have crashed into halfords and a random selection of accessories happen to have stuck to it! You will have to stick some pics of it up!

Re: Gold Levers?
 

Yeah, I've seen those too! Most of the SV is definately staying black!

Re: Gold Levers?
 

well good luck with it mate, I think the trick with such things is to try and get the same colour gold for all the accessories which is sometimes easier said than done!

Re: Gold Levers?
 

If I remember correctly the levers from a TLs1000 or SRAD are the same!

Re: Gold Levers?
 

Thanks BILLY i'll have to try one of those coz I can't find specific SV ones anywhere! Cheers

They're not unfortunately, clutch is different I'm sure. Brake is the same. But, clutch is easy, you can just swap perches around.

Thing is, these anodised levers are generally absolute tat. I had a set, just possibly the worst thing I ever bolted to my bike. They're much weaker than stock- I've seen a Bandit brake lever snap off after someone walked into it. That's an extreme, but they almost always snap in crashes where an OE one might survive- that's the difference between ride home, and not. Also, the anodising's very thin so it wears through over time, and wears visibly very quickly.

If you don't mind spending some cash, Pazzo do coloured levers that aren't ****. So do CRG. But £120 or so the pair :rolleyes:

Re: Gold Levers?
 

Was wondering Northwind are you still using stock levers? I feel that they could be a bit more nearer to the grip for added comfort and cannot be adjusted for less. Any thoughts? Don't suggest the Pazzo items again they're a bit steep. :( By the way, pazzo means crazy in Italian. Thought it would be interesting to translate.

Re: Gold Levers?
 

Nah, I have an SRAD clutch lever (I think, though it could be anything really, it just came attached to a clipon) and a replacement master cylinder. But I think there's a kwak clutch lever of some sort that's adjustable, I remember seeing it in Hints and Tips or somesuch. You can swap cable clutch levers pretty much freely.

Or, Pazzo ;)

Re: Gold Levers?
 

Just fitted some Pazzo's to Sam's Gixer (Cause she has small hands and needs the adjustable clutch really, not 'cause they're bling ;) )

Very nice indeed, but yeah, not cheap :D

Re: Gold Levers?
 

SRAD/TL Brake lever is the same as SV, the clutch as you said is diffrent but you could just get the whole unit and change it.

Its ER5 lever i think for the clutch which is adjustable, but it does nothing diffrent to what the adjuster does.
