I've been thinking about buying some adjustable levers for my thunderbird. After some searching I found theese At ebay and I suppose they would fit nicely ?

The problem is that the dealer don't ship outside USA, and he won't even answer my email about shupping to Sweden.
So, the question is, has anyone seen theese levers for sale somewhere else?

Hi Carpelux!

You might try to find second hand levers? My neighbour here in Mönsterås, Sweden, www.hojbiten.se, have a good supply of used parts for Kawazaki.

I would be interested in a pair of these too. Are you sure they will fit the Thunderbird?

Of course I haven't tried them, but in the parts interchangeability thread You can read the the levers frpm a ZX11 should fit.
And by the look of them it sure looks so.

Drummerboy, I could talk to hojbiten, but I'm tempted by the wide chrome levers and I doubt they would have such from parted bikes as they're not the stock levers. Thanks anyway. Btw, Nice to se another swede here, now we are three from what I've seen. Monsteras is a nice place, I'm already looking forward to go there to the annual blues party i may.

Now It's time for the blues festival at Mönsterås, Sweden.
Unfortuneately they has promised rain and cold temperature, so the trip will have to be by car instead of bike :cry:

The levers will fit.
I just put stock Kawasaki ZZR1100 levers on my bike. It's all Nissin brake/clutch master cylinders anyway....or rather on a lot of bikes from Triumph and Kawa.

...need I add that the levers I got are black? :-D

I just bought a set of these, because my brake lever is bent from my buddy dropping my bike in the parking lot. LOL.

A tip when buying the black Kawasaki levers:

Get OEM ones if you can as the aftermarket ones (though half the price) are much lower quality. the biggest drawback is that the aftermarket ones tend to be painted rather than black anodised, this paint wears off after afew thousand miles of riding
