Brake lever replacement 955i

Hi all,
Can somebody please tell me how to change a front brake lever on a 03 955i?
I snapped it on the weekend & am not sure about the procedure.
Thanks...Oz_trump

should be very simple. unscrew the bolt that runs through the lever, remove and take off the lever.

If you don't want to spring the $50+ for a triumph lever there are certain suzuki, kawi and yamaha brake levers that will fit the triumph master cylinder for well under $20

Thanks for that but what about the cable? How does the cable fit the lever? And the adjustment?

Are we talking about the same thing? Front brake is hydraulic. There is no cable. Lever is just free-floating as it pushes against the master cylinder piston.

Very easy...

If you buy Pazzo levers, they come with instructions...
