Default Adjustable Brake and clutch levers?

Anyone know where I can find them for the 'cane? Will later model VFR or Blackbird levers work? I see a lot for the RR bikes but nothing for our bikes.

Hi Shadow,

Is there a way to adjust the levers so that the clutch engages a bit sooner? I like to use two fingers on the clutch, but my remianing fingers cop a bit of crushing.

Not with the standard levers, to my knowledge..... Clutch is quite fierce, maybe need to use Pazzo levers which are easier on the hands.

The brake is adjustable, but not the clutch. I want both!
I saw the Pazzo, but they don't have a listing for the CBR1000f.

Check previous posts from FLOGGER on this - he found part numbers for the 1000F for Pazzo levers.

You can save some cash on expensive levers and buy a pair of these instead:

I don't have an issue with the effort on the clutch or the brake. I would like to replace the rattling POS stock clutch lever, and if I'm going to do that, I'd like to put on an adjustable unit. And to keep things symetrical, I'd get the same for the brake side.

Firstly why is your clutch lever rattling ?
Secondly, your original levers aren't symmetrical - brake is a good bit shorter than clutch.....
