    Anyone have a good recommendation for some nice CNC'd aluminum control levers for my XJ650? I've seen some pretty sweet ones on friends' more modern street fighters and love the way they look and feel.

    Any other tips on how to streamline the handlebar real estate are welcome too. I don't have turn signals on my bike, or a starter button up there either so new controls from a MX application may work just fine for me..

    Thanks for the help!

    I just ordered a new one off e-bay. Made from 6061-T6 aluminum, suppose to be stronger than stock. $7.95 plus shipping.

    Man that seems ungodly cheap! Love to see it when it arrives. Are you replacing clutch lever or brake or both?

    At this time only the brake leaver, as it was bent when i got the bike. When i tried to straighten it, it snapped. I got it from the_filter_king on e-bay.
