Levers for '06 Sprint
Just bought a used '06 Sprint and noticed the clutch and brake levers are different styles. The clutch lever is shorter, more curved, and has the breakaway point. The brake lever is longer, straighter, and has no breakaway point. Is this normal? If not, what aftermarket levers are recommended for this bike? Thanks-Ken

I got a stock 05 set that will fit. I put on Paszzos, at 150 bucks

The brake lever is interchangeable with a number of Yamahas and Suzukis that run Nissan master cylinders, so don't pay Triumph top dollar prices!

OND--You're saying this is normal but I've had 39 motorcycles and I don't think I've ever seen different style levers on brake and clutch. It doesn't seem to be a problem but it just looks strange to me. Is that why a lot of guys go with aftermarket levers or is there some other reason? Thanks-Ken B.

... just checked mine and they are original and just as you describe them 
I'd never noticed that they were different before - and I've had it more than 3 years now.

You asked, I answered, you rejected the answer. Have it your way.

Well dang!
It would probably better if you could stick to the subject, and keep the personal comments to yourself. You just aint that funny.
The OP asked a question, I answered it, he did not like the answer. He has the right to believe what he wants. I am not going to beg him to believe me.
That is all I said, so quit trying to stir some crap where there is none.
