Author Message   Haaken Posted on Saturday, February 06, 2016 - 09:51 am:        So I am finally starting to plan on finishing my cell. Traded my sports car in for a truck, my Daytona 675 needs nothing, and the harley really doesn't have any needs either... After riding my 2014 Daytona 675 for 2 seasons, i can say that I really want better clutch and brake feel on my Buell. The levers that come stock are wobbly and I don't like the feel anymore. I want shorty style levers but nothing really comes up when searching. Will sportster levers work on my X1? If not, does anyone know where I can get a set of aftermarket clutch and brake assemblies to swap over? Thanks in advance.   Phelan Posted on Saturday, February 06, 2016 - 11:38 am:        Get ASVs. Best levers available IMO. Hundreds of adjustments and the fold forward in the event of a tip-over, to prevent breakage.   Jolly Posted on Saturday, February 06, 2016 - 02:01 pm:        I've got ASV levers on most of my bikes... GREAT levers!!   Haaken Posted on Saturday, February 06, 2016 - 02:08 pm:        Will the XB models work on the tubers? I can't seem to find the tube frame specific ones yet. Gotta keep searching i suppose   Phelan Posted on Saturday, February 06, 2016 - 03:25 pm:        I think they say they will, but I believe the actuating pin is ever so slightly different, and needs to be filed down a hair when using XB levers on a tuber. I don't know that for a fact, but its simple enough to tell. You just put it on and make sure the plunger on the master cylinder is all the way out. If the pin on the lever is too long, it will push on the plunger even when disengaged, causing excess brake drag and heat buildup.   Phelan Posted on Saturday, February 06, 2016 - 03:26 pm:        What I did was take the opportunity of swapping levers to buy a used Radial master cylinder from a late Suzuki. Got it on eBay for $25, then bought the lever to match it. I actually bought the levers used as well, but that's another matter.   Haaken Posted on Saturday, February 06, 2016 - 05:08 pm:        What advantage do you gain by switching to the suzuki master cylinder?   Phelan Posted on Saturday, February 06, 2016 - 07:30 pm:        Performance and different look.   S1owner Posted on Sunday, February 07, 2016 - 10:42 am:        Do you have pics of the suzuki set up you installed?   Brother_in_buells Posted on Sunday, February 07, 2016 - 01:04 pm:        Here are the xb and tuber levers side by side, clutch levers are exactly the same. The xb brake lever is a bit thicker at the actuating pin ,so like Phelan suggested you have to file it down a bit.   S1owner Posted on Sunday, February 07, 2016 - 01:27 pm:        Theres a nice set of crg on ebay   Littlebuggles Posted on Monday, February 08, 2016 - 12:30 am:        Buellistic can tell you which Kawasaki levers are a direct fit, then you can check the aftermarket for those as well.   Pontlee77 Posted on Monday, February 08, 2016 - 12:30 am:        I've had CRG and surge quality is great, but they move to much, i have an asv one dude to arrive soon, also i'm getting a magura hydraukuc clutch set up, so i expect to have a good pair of levers, some time ago i saw a stock adjustable brake lever, there is a kawasaki one that is the same as stock but adjustable.   Alfau Posted on Monday, February 08, 2016 - 05:08 am:        bump (Message edited by alfau on February 08, 2016)   Ratbuell Posted on Monday, February 08, 2016 - 08:18 am:        CRG on my S1W - stubbies, good adjustments, nice fit, good feel.   S1owner Posted on Monday, February 08, 2016 - 08:30 am:        http://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/131530758369   Jim2 Posted on Monday, February 08, 2016 - 11:11 pm:        The Kawasaki lever part numbers are listed in Buellistics' profile along with lots of other info.   1313 Posted on Tuesday, February 09, 2016 - 12:20 pm:        The Kawasaki lever part numbers are listed in Buellistics' profile along with lots of other info. Kawasaki clutch lever Part# 46076-1165 Kawasaki brake lever Part# 13236-1185   Buellish Posted on Tuesday, February 09, 2016 - 03:21 pm:        I have XB CRG's on my S3T.They were a direct fit.   Al_lighton Posted on Tuesday, February 09, 2016 - 05:03 pm:        An XB CRG brake lever for the 8 pot caliper is a direct fit for a tube frame Buell (AN-521). But an XB brake lever for a 6 pot caliper (AN-531) will work on a tube frame but there is an issue. The cam length on the AN-531 lever is too short, and it results in free play in the lever that lets the brake light switch go off and on without any brake action being applied. The opposite is VERY bad. If you put an AN-521 tuber lever on an XB, it will not let the MC bleed port come uncovered and your brakes can lock up.   Jayvee Posted on Wednesday, February 10, 2016 - 12:41 pm:        "nothing really comes up...searching" Whenever I search for Buell on eBay, I get dozens of levers, all kinds (mostly the Chinese kind) so I'm surprised to read this. I like my American Sport Bike "fake carbon-fiber" ones, even if the brake lever adjustment wheel broke, had to JB Weld it. Couldn't find any fake carbon-fiber JB Weld either. ( My brake lever broke ) (Message edited by jayvee on February 10, 2016)   S1owner Posted on Wednesday, February 10, 2016 - 01:14 pm:        I just type Buell levers then refine it to used and there is over 100 hits. I have a saved search on all buell used items sends me whats new every day
