Default Wanted - broken gear lever.

As above, a broken gear lever from any model SV from any year.

All I need is the rose joint, the condition of the rest of the lever is unimportant.

Check out the service on SV650.org! Four minutes from asking and I have a positive response.

Thanks Dave, PM on it's way.

Because I have to repair a bike with a gear lever that has a damaged rose joint, and ordinarily when one is unfortunate enough to break one in the more conventional manner, ie snapping one with a ground/motorcycle interface circumstance, said joint is very rarely damaged.

I'm after one for a k4+.

One with only the toe peg broke off would be perfect.

Mine is a little bit too short. The peg is too far up my foot on up changes and I've not enough leverage on down changes.

Got it, fitted it.

A bit of grinding, bashing and welding later, the rose joint was removed from the broken curvy lever and pressed and welded into the, (otherwise), good SV1000 one.

It works!

Thanks Dave.
