Any one have an extra clutch lever for a Norge,Breva or Sport laying around ?
Please PM me.
Thanks much

I have one, but it is bent. (I wonder how that happened?

). However, I should probably hang onto it for when my Norge decides to take another nap at some point; the bent one may be in better shape that the currently straight one.

I looked online for an after-market alternative, but was not successful. I am curious, though: are there no after-market alternatives?

(I imagine the problem is not the lever itself but the fiddly and temperamental plunger that is attached to the lever that can wreak havoc if not adjusted exactly right...)

I bought a set of after market levers...and upon trying to remove said plunger shaft it sheared off.
Don't care what condition the lever is, just need the plunger shaft and pivot post.
Thanks

You might also have to buy another barrel as that one doesn't have the tang for the switch.

Thanks very much Pete. I'll order one after work today.

After talking to AF1 racing... sadly they say it won't work.

Anyone with an extra clutch lever?

You might contact these guys - Pinwall Cycle Parts (they have an eBay store at http://myworld.ebay.com/pinwall_cycle_parts/ )

They have one or two Norges they've been parting out...

you know- you could get a brand spankin' new pair of cnc'd levers - titanium with red adjusters - for around $50 delivered in a few days:

Just received a set (below) and I'm scratching my head trying to find what's different to the $200 Pazzo levers I put on the 1200S a few years ago:

I have new aftermarket levers... just need the plunger shaft and pivot post off the stock clutch lever.

Bump... I've looked all over e-bay with no luck.

Figure out what make and model the master cylinder is - then find other bikes that use the same one. Then you can buy aftermarket levers that fit the cross-compatible bike.

That's how I found out what fits my V11 (several Ducatis use the same). MotoMummy had a good price, but not as cheap as the knock-offs. I got shorty Pazzos for about 25% off - but the FPs look nice too.

OK... THESE ARE THE PARTS I'M IN NEED OF:

Mayor_of_BBQ · « **Reply #16 on:** August 16, 2015, 12:21:55 PM »

if you get a replacement put some heat on that before you try to take it out.... I laid mine on the stove burner with just the brass part touching the coil and got it hot then cooled and it came out easy... also don't overlook the set screw!

sucks that happened dude

don't forget Reboot Guzzi, MG classics, moto international, Harpers, etc..... Or try calling some larger dealers like Rose Farm, Rider's Hill, MPH,etc

Perhaps some Duc or Aprillia parts places if you can figure out what model clutch master it is...

guzzi ride · « **Reply #17 on:** August 16, 2015, 12:46:16 PM »

After my buffoon move I wished that I had contacted you first. They are nice levers though.
Of all the things MG decides to over kill... set screw, epoxy, lock-tight?

guzzi ride · « **Reply #18 on:** August 19, 2015, 04:29:22 PM »

Big thanks to M. BBQ I found one at Rose farm. Used lever on it's way and the Norge will be ready to play

More likely Brembo.

More likely Brembo.

There is a method to their madness. If you adjust the plunger and don't leave the right amount of clearance it is the equivalent of "riding the clutch". It gets hot and hot is bad for clutches...

They think riders and service techs are idiots and the lawyers said: "Can you make it nearly impossible to adjust?" Yes we can!
