I do solemnly believe you could use a clutch master from a 1125 or other bike. From what I have read a brake master turned upside down wouldn't be a good choice for a single caliper brake. You'de need to ditch the left switch gear and reroute needed switches to right switch or somewhere else. I also do solemnly believe the right switch gear is designed to accept the blinker switch. I would eliminate the passing light and choose the horn or the high beam to replace the kill switch. but I would borrow a lever and see if the arrangement is acceptable first. You'de have to rotate the clutch down pretty far which will probably necessitate trimming the fairing (if it's an R model). The hard part would be sizing the brake line and deciding where to route it. |

I'm pretty sure an underbar lever would hit the airbox cover on a firebolt, but should be fine on anything else, they are reported to only have about 25% of the power, if I'm not mistaken, and are like 285 bucks. |
