Not bad Kev.

Now all you need is an adjustable clutch lever. (Clutch lever to suit VFR does the job, look on ebat for cheap options)

Dead easy to swap out Kev, just undo the pivot bolt, remove the handle. Reverse to fit.

I like the dash shelf, where did that come from?

Also, why the need for an adjustable clutch lever?  Does the standard one cause you a problem?  Mine is fine for me.

Try this one

As to why change, the reach was a bit far. The adjustable brings the handle closer to the bar making it much easier to use.

Not absolutely essential, but it could be about 6mm further in for comfort...plus, 'cause I can..  :crackup

Hi Kev,

 I was impressed with the presentation of your ride, extreemly nice.

 Now some info please about the cree driving lights.

 I dont normally ride at night but later this year I am contemplating a circumnavagation and as such I am interested in this sort of upgrade.

 Thanks again,

For the 1300's I think that the clutch lever from the CBR 1000 is a perfect match for the brake lever.
Some one has a VFR lever on his and they don't match.

  A Short while ago I purchaced as set of adjustable clutch and brake levers from  www.THE (http://www.THE) 2 WHEELS. COM   
    EMAIL   sales@the2wheels.com   These levers were a direct replacment and only took about 5 minutes to fit.
 The web site had very good illustrations and was set out very well.
I chose the anadised red and black ones and they suited my ride beautifully.
  I might add that the cost was a fraction of comparable items that was available from other suppliers.
  I believe that this supplier is worth checking out.

Cheers, winston66 ,northampton

I have mismatched levers on mine. Black original for brake, adjustable clutch lever generic for a VFR. Noone has noticed, or at least has not told me.  I did the adjustbale clutch lever as it was too far out when standard.
