Replacement levers

You can order original Norton or Moto Morini Levers and they don´t fit.
This can happen with any brand and is not depent od a "poor" design.
I think is depent to the "Batch" of delivered Levers to the manufacuter.
For my Guzzi´s is ordering spares like playing lottery
 
All Bike Bore wants to know is what part number from what bike will fit his SPORT or SF with the cast reservoirs . I cannot help because I don't know which other bike fits or the aftermarket part numbers . I had broken my clutch lever early on and I replaced it with a Norton OEM same part . I don't know either sorry ...
 
BikerBore,
Sorry it took so long to get back to you. The levers in a set are ASV F3. That's both clutch and brake lever. The manufacturers part number is listed as;
BRF 352-SK and CRF 352-SK.
Like I said, I got the short levers in black with red wheels. They work on my SF. You might prefer different colors and standard length. Hope this helps.
Charlie

I think you were clear enough, the clutch switch is a poor design (on yours anyway).

You are right when you say "The switch looks like it should be mounted on something, but isn't" and the way it is fitted to yours definitely looks like an afterthought.

Here's a photo of mine (2013 CR, although now with standard bars) and the threaded part of the switch is used to fix it to the lever mount, so it's more securely mounted and no exposed thin metal strip to end up on the wrong side of a dowel.

Mmmm, have to agree, I have had a couple of issues with the same sw. Somehow managed to snag the actuating leaf spring with a Cleaning rag which must have dragged it to the other side of the actuating pin on the lever. Did’nt take much. Went to ride the bike again a couple of weeks later. From memory it took me over an hour to work out what was going on. Doh!

That looks a far better design as you'd expect from Brembo. I've been trying out my 'cheap' levers and like them. I just push the clutch switch with a finger to start the bike. I'm getting more tempted to just remove the clutch switch. It will be easy to bypass it in the headlight where it connects to the loom and it would be easily reversible if put the original levers back on. My HD doesn't have a clutch switch and it's never been a problem for me.

I did exactly the same, cleaning rag grabbed the leaf spring.... it's not the best thought out design.

Does the side stand switch still work ?

I'll have to check. The wiring diagram only shows the start switch going to the clutch switch then to the starter relay. Side stand switch goes to the top over switch and neutral switch so don't expect it to make a difference. I'll have to see.
 
I know you don’t like me saying this.
but why would you remove the clutch switch all because of having the wrong set of aftermarket levers?
sure I get you said your HD doesn’t have a clutch safety switch, still it’s a foolish move in my opinion.
You can say it’s a poor design all you like. But you took what you called a poor afterthought design and just made it plain stupid. I hope you or someone else never starts the bike in gear.
good luck.
 
Hey Scott, not unusual to remove this sw/facility on other bikes. Just done it on my DRZ400e last week. It’s a standard user mod on that bike, like removing the side stand sw on the same bike. Basically, because experienced riders generally do not need these ‘safety’ mechanisms and they are a potential point of failure whilst out in the middle of nowhere. Admittedly a dirt bike (Side stand also can bounce and cut engine). My KTM 990 does’nt have a clutch safety sw; although you can’t start it whilst in gear.

We are all big boys, modify it how you want it and ride. If that includes removing a (slightly) suspect sw then go for your life:).

Long live Norton - now, I’m off down to my garage to see what other bits I can rip off my Norton!

There may be an insurance implication here,
Never forget that Insurance companies will do ANYTHING to wriggle out of the responsibility to pay out.

S = Short , G = Gold , Look at the ASV Inventions website. Thanks to cehenard for the information . This part number fits the Sport or SF and is used on many Ducatis .

More on the ASV levers : Do not discard the plunger rods that come with the levers . These are the way you change the engagement point of your clutch . On the Brembo levers there was an adjustment screw , not on these ASV . You have to change the rod length. It works just fine , don't loose these parts .
