Post by: fast500#12 on May 03, 2004, 01:07:33 PM

whats up every one? i have looked all over the place and i can't find an after market rear brake lever any where. does any one know who makes one and where can i get my hands on it. mine is bent and scraching the crap out of my clutch case. or should i say wearing in a nice big grove. :x

I don't think anyone makes a aftermarket lever.  Is the frame mount bent or the lever?  Mine had a similar problem and it turned out to be the frame mount.  I think you can buy the OEM for about 40 bucks.

Ive never seen an aftermarket brake lever for a KX,Id just buy a stock one as Kawdude suggest,if the old one cant be bent back.
