Shed front brake levers

#1 PostAuthor: Mark Z1R Hodgson » Tue Aug 07, 2012 2:22 pm

Greetings all!
Anybody got a secret stash of Z1R front brake levers? Broke mine on the way back from the Germany bash - all very embarrassing, and I'll let TLC tell the story!
Seems that replacements are very thin on the ground at all the usual establishments, and I wondered if somebody could lend me one so see me through till the end of the season?

Cheers
Mark

Mark,

Does it make any difference to the braking effort at the front wheel with no lever???

I would have thought you'd have needed a scaffold tube with the bizzare set up on the Z1R???

Thanks for all the replies guys!

Thanks to Z1parR, he's going to lend me one!

Thanks to Jimmock for his observations, its not a bizarre set up - its a "characterful" one! Just cos I can go fast without getting flies in my face like you "round tankers"!

Thanks to TLC for dropping his J on top of mine while waiting for the ferry -Oh how we laughed!

Thanks to the others for their advice - Z-Power tells me they are no longer available! Wemoto supplied me with a standard Z1000 lever, then a Z1R clutch lever, now trying very hard to supply the right lever! I will try some of the other suggestions though!

Cheers!
Mark

do the hydaulic conversion as I have done using a TL 1200 lever and res , fits straight on no messing with the fairing .
If you want close ups will be glad to do so.
