I wonder if these will fit? Found them in a couple of places now, will fit brembo brake and magura clutches, look like 2 or 3 fingers long and available in orange or go faster black.

Used the previous posts here on this forum, looking at the R1/999 route. Local bikeshop ordered an 05 R1 pattern lever for me but the actuator was quite different (plus it didn't have the ball end saver, which actually let me ride home after my incident and it was pretty poor quality).

TBH the Duc/Aprillia levers are £70 and the KTM one is £42, thing is I have a Aprillia dealer 5 miles from me whereas the KTM one is 50+ but the difference will cover the petrol to get the 'correct' part. I will drop by the Yamaha dealer who has an 05/06 lever on the shelf & I'll see if thats the same (because thats £30 and they're closer than KTM), but it looks like I'll get the KTM one.

It's annoying to break the lever in the first place (feet up U-turn/V-twin sudden stall, bike was placed down so slowly, the weight of the bike popped the end off the lever) but the insult is the price of the lever which is more than the clutch cover!!

I did think about getting some 'unbreakable' levers but my worry here is that they transfer the damage to the cylinder plus I don't intend dropping the bike often (appreciate their worth on off-road/track bikes).

If I find a good deal on quality levers then I'll post it here.
