    I can't seem to find anything when searching - it's my Saturday and the whiskey is taking hold - in terms of replacing our stock brake and clutch levers with newer and modern age levers. I see those "reflex levers" I believe is what they're called, but can't seem to find any concrete answers on whether they work on our bikes or any bike with our style of original levers. Anyone have any insight?

    I'm using modern M/C and clutch perch from a 2001 R1. I bought new Chinese levers for them and I couldn't believe how nice they are, fit perfectly and they were $12.99 with free shipping. Bought the perch and MC (Nissin radial) with broken levers on purpose to get a low priced ebay item then buy new levers to make them nice again.
    Cheers, 50gary

    I am with "50gray" if you want a more modern look for these bikes I you might want to update your MC to allow for a more modern look.
