I can't find any suitable brake levers , did I read somewhere you can use yamaha r1 levers ? Looking for some carbon look-a-likes.

Careful, Dan. The Brake levers on the tubers and the brake levers on the XB's are very close but different. Using an XB lever on a tuber can cause a brake lockup.

I'm assuming your statement applies to tubers? Is there a year that the ZX7 levers DON'T apply?

The levers from a 1998 Suzuki GSXR 750 fit my Buell. I had a pair of faux carbon fiber on my bike until someone backed over it in a parking lot. The lever was on back order from Lockhart-Phillips for over 10 months. I finally gave up.

Sorry about the vague question, it is a 1997 S1. And the CRG's are a bit pricey, the 98 gixxers fit? Thanks for the info.

Al, This is for tubers not XBs. A ZX7 brake lever works excellent on my X1 and also on my wifes Blast.

This is a quote from 'The X-1 files' no posting date. The adjustable brake lever from a Kawasaki ZX9R around 95-96 is a perfect match Part# 13236-1185. And the Kawasaki Zephyr had an adjustable clutch lever Part# 46076-1165. Adjustable clutch lever needs a little modification (10min switch in side) because Kawasaki switch connecter has 3 pin, Buell has 2 pin and reverse action. Brake lever is just bolt on. Total parts cost about $80 .
