FZS and Thundercat brake levers interchangeable?
« on: 27 February 2015, 05:38:05 pm »
Afternoon chaps, I've spotted a set of brake and clutch levers I would like to pop on the Fazer but they are for the 'cat. Will they fit? Also what do you think of these cheap Chinese shorties? Obviously they are not going to be up to the quality of the proper brands, but are they 'okay'? They're only £15 so surely worth a punt?

Cheers :>

The brake one will fit but the clutch lever won't,
However, if you can get a cheap t'cat clutch bracket that will fit the fazer bars along with your new short lever purchase, but I can't remember if you need to change the clutch cable too (I think you might as I believe I have the T'cat cable on my set up and it must be for a forgotten reason!)
The levers themselves are absolutely fine in comparison with the more expensive lsl's etc!
Some say...

Just looked for T'cat clutch brackets on ebay and they're £10-£20 delivered, loads of them available!
Some say...
