Gear lever confusion - Jamieg285 - 12-12-14
I hope someone can help me identify what year this gear lever is from.
The spring on the footrest broke, so I bought a complete footrest/gear lever/heel guard assembly off ebay, choosing one from a 2000 bike that matches my own.
When fitting it, I found it wouldn't fit as the gear lever is straight, whereas my one is slightly S shaped.
I've looked on ebay for more examples, but it's a bit of a minefield of mis-information. It looks like the S lever is from Gen2 bikes, but then why is it on my Gen1?
Does anyone know what years/models the straight lever is from, so I can resell it with an accurate description?

I thought they all have the gear lever with the bend in it (??).

Have a look on AJ Sutton website, per year.

Jamie ive got the complete assembly in my shed from when i stripped it.
If you want ill take some pics of it later if it helps you see what it should look like as mine was off a 2001 that was manufactured in 2000.

I'm wondering if a previous owner has straightened it for some reason?
It would be OK, but I have crash bars that mount on the same bolts as the hangers, and have less clearance.
If it's not as it should be, I won't bother trying to flog it.

That lever doesn't look right.If your existing lever assembly is ok,can't you just fit the footpeg from the e-bay assembly to that?.

Already done all that, I'm just trying to work out if I can sell the straight one.

So it seems like it's been straightened to try to accommodate a rider with bigger feet?.
