I have adjustable levers on my 1991 CBR1000FL.

Looked around many bikes before finding a set.

The VTR1000 Firestorm levers are adjustable and the same fit as the CBR1000FL

Hope this helps

Dean

Excellent! I will see if I can find some and try them. I think the Firestorm is called the Super Hawk here in the states. Or as we affectionately call it.... the Super Chicken!

These are the ones I used - http://www.bitzforbikes.co.uk/myproducts.php?ProdTypeID=&year=1249&BikeID=134

Look about half way down the page- available in Black or Alloy

I am sure they must be available over there

Yep, found it here. Ron Ayers.com has the clutch lever for $32.95. I might have to order one up!

Hey, DeanO''''s back !!! 
Where''''ve you been hiding ??



Been business travelling and most of the hotels have had lousy internet connection.

Also part way through my UK Advanced riders course so getting as much road time in as possible.

And - I have to own up - I bought a Blackbird "cough, cough".

1997 carb model in RED.   21000 miles,    showroom condition,   VFR800 bars.  Zero Gravity touring screen.

Just felt so nice on the test ride - I couldn''t resist.

CBR1000FL goes to new home this weekend.

I''ve been debating the same thing - friend has a black 99 carb model with 11000 miles up in immaculate condition I can have for 3000 pounds - just have to convince the Minister of Home affairs....he he
Oh, and just because you change your bike doesn''t mean you have to change your friends.

C''mon -  post up pics of the new "Lady" in your life !

I have just paid £2700 GBP.

And there is no way I couldconcider leaving a group of global friends like this forum.

Pic is before the Zero Gravity Screen was fitted

She looks to be in excellent shape - lucky man !
When you have some miles behind you, I''m sure a comparison report between the two bikes would be a good and informative read.......

First impressions are that despite the weights of the two bikes being close - the blackbird "FEELS" lighter.

I guess it''s the "Mass Centralisation" they harp on about.     

For identical speeds down the same road - the blackbird takes less effort to do the same thing.

Watch this space for further updates.

Okay, back on topic.....
I put an adjustable clutch lever from my girlfriends 1998 VFR 800 and it fits perfect! I noticed that the aftermarket levers for the VTR1000 were the same model numbers as the VFR. She had a spare, so on it went. Looks exactly like the CBR brake lever only a mirror image.
I might get the aftermarket polished ones for a little extra bling. But file this under parts from the VFR that fit the ''Cane!
