I did search a little but couldn't find anything. I just picked up my new 961 and am running through the breakin as fast as I can. Great bike so far, my 17 month wait and 550 mile drive one way to get it was worth it. All my other motorcycles except me '72 I have changed the control levers out for something like CRG's but they don't list anything for the Norton. Does anyone by chance know what other motorcycles share these levers so I can cross reference to order some upgrades? I really appreciate any help with this.
 
Try Rizoma , I have their bar end mirrors. There was a guy who posted and he had their mirrors and levers . Again Rizoma call or email them ,. They have something that fits , Pricey though . If you look through the recent threads you can find it . Something like New Commando SF ?
 
I replaced my damaged clutch lever with a Brembo item 62610051A which fits Ducatis. This came without the pin which presses the microswitch underneath - you can see an article about changing the pin over (be careful) at
http://www.webbikeworld.com/t2/pazzo/ad ... levers.htm
where you will see Pazzo adjustable levers - you can also get the Brembo lever with the pin at extra cost - Alan
 
My 2014 Sport has no removeable pin . There is a permanent part of the casting that the switch plunger pushes against. So , If I was to buy the ducati style lever I would have no pin to replace it with. So if his lever is like mine he needs the pin.. I need to replace my clutch lever as well , and put in an order for a stock Norton lever. And am still waiting for it...!
 
There is no doubt that the Italian aftermarket stuff is top notch!
 
WARNING - If you are replacing the stock 961 mirrors like I did . The R/H mirror is REVERSE thread !!! You will snap it off at the perch if you do not know this!
 
Forgot to say on my post above that I have the 961 Sport with the black square reservoirs - I expect the cylindrical remote reservoir setup has different levers - my mirrors have the same rh thread - M10 x 1.25 (not the common 1.5) as they screw into the reservoir brackets - Alan
 
Norton must have used different sizes and threads . My mirror mounts were more like 8mm diameter and the right mirror mount was threaded l/h. I also have the sport with the casted reservoirs. My mirror mount bosses are actually part of the clamp that holds the reservoir to the handlebar.

I have two SF's A 2014 and a 2015 The 14 has larger diameter thread size and both right hand thread. The 15 has a smaller diameter thread, and one is right hand thread and the other is left hand thread. I found that out on the 15 when I broke off the stud on the right hand side turning it in the wrong direction.

I work in manufacturing, I cannot understand the need to change the set up. Not to mention the headache of carrying spare parts.

I will be changing to after market parts for the mirrors.
 
Well, I did it. I'm riding the 961 today and we all stop for a stretch. I put the bike on the side stand and look under the engine for anything amiss. I turn away and down goes the bike. Very minimal damage but where do I find a clutch lever? My bike is a sport with the black cast reservoirs and silver levers. Can anyone help? Mark.
 
Rizoma has levers. Others on this site posted pictures of them on their 961's . Rizoma USA is in CA. I would call them.
 
Mark- don't know where you are based - do an ebay.com search for 'brembo ducati clutch lever' - first hit I got was a lever $99.99 from Gotham Cycles complete with trigger pin for black reservoirs - looks like the correct part - Alan
 
Thanks regental, it does look like the correct part except it doesn't have the starter safety tang. That's ok as I just removed the switch as another potential failure point. Mark.
