Adjustable levers any suggestions??!

[Guest]

Can anyone suggest a good master cylinder/adjustable brake lever combo that works with twin rotors? I'm having to redo my entire front end braking system and thought I'd upgrade the levers, both clutch and brake, for a better fit and feel. My bike is a 79, GS550e.

Thanks guys

Look at one of the smaller Ninja's if yours is a single brake model. The EX650 if it's dual brake. Single brake has 14mm piston the dual has 16mm (5/8")

Thanks guys, do you also know of any new aftermarket ones that might work? I was thinking about this kind of thing:

I will look into your good suggestions as well as that might well be the best solution.

Avoid the cheap Chinese brands. I've dealt with these on sport bikes and I often see sloppy fitment, some that don't reach the brake switch and some especially for Suzuki that I've had to pull up on to activate the clutch safety switch. This has occurred on GSXR 600s, 750s and 1000s, Busas and M109s. Also on Ninja 500s you couldn't extend the clutch lever out past the 3rd mark.

I have Bandit levers on my GS1000 which were a straight swop on both sides, bear in mind that you will have a cable clutch so ensure you get the right lever.

Can I just check, would these work for a 79 gs550? Looks like a cable clutch lever which is what I'd need.

Can anyone advise please? You'd save me some cash if you know I'm buying the wrong thing. Thanks
