Title: Front brake lever compatibility? Post by: leonardc9 on May 30, 2009, 10:00:35 PM Long story story, I was riding with my SO and she tripped on dismount causing my '05 M620 to get dropped on the right side. Sucks but it's hard to get upset when she looks so sorry. [roll]
So I'm now trying to find a cheap replacement. I currently have the Ducati Performance adjustable lever as I've got small hands, but as I recall, it's something like $80 per lever. Given times are tough right now, are there better options? I'm looking at just fixed levers, but am not sure which Ducati levers are compatible with the M620. Saw this one online and the price is right. Would this work? http://store.58cycle.com/product_p/brake%20lever%20750%20sport%2001%20al.htm (http://store.58cycle.com/product_p/brake%20lever%20750%20sport%2001%20al.htm) Thanks in advance for all of your help!

Monster Parts sells the adjustable ones for $30 each. http://www.monsterparts.com/pc/ADJLEVER/Controls/ADJLEVER.html (http://www.monsterparts.com/pc/ADJLEVER/Controls/ADJLEVER.html) Title: Re: Front brake lever compatibility? Post by: booger on May 31, 2009, 11:22:08 AM 620s have big pivot

I considered trying to buy a butane torch and being it back, but figured it's more money and effort than getting another one. Title: Re: Front brake lever compatibility?

Call MonsterParts - Jeff is not always (never?) up to date on his website. He might have them after all. And if he doesn't he'll take one off his own or staff's bike - that's how he practices customer service [thumbsup] Title: Re: Front brake lever compatibility?
