Better to go to the bar and say hello soon you'll get more help that way .
As for replacement leavers I'd recommend pazzo ones if you can stretch to the price they are great quality and everything works with them .
Cheaper leavers can give problems with the clutch switch that affects the starting and running of the bike .
:cheers:
I'd recommend original ones off someone who's fitted aftermarket tat.
Agree Hooli, never found a need to change levers from stock.
+1 for me on that for this bike. Factory units are great.
Had Pazzos on my Daytona 675, nice gear.
Stockers, off and wet n dry paper, autosol and buffer, look so good. Lanox all moving parts, why would you change.
Welcome to the nuthouse mate
I bought Pazzo levers specific to the GSX in dark blue. They're more suitable angle for me & adjustment is sufficient for long fingers. I'd say I've had them fitted for 10 years + & no fading of the colour. Some of the Chinesium ones fade badly & don't adjust well.
I've still kept the original Suzuki ones (just in case) lol 😂
Not something I previously concerned myself with until I had a Student Motorcycle, now I have two opposing thoughts on the matter for this application.
1) cheap original (CB250) brake & clutch lever.
2) more expensive units designed to fold back & not break (though not indestructible).
Most annoying thing about breaking a lever is it can make the bike almost unrideable just from a foot slip on a loose surface whilst stopped.
A friend by chance acquired some A/M levers from a company in the UK for his Z900RS. They have the Z900RS engraved into them, they look nice and the action is superb compared to the standard.
My 14 came with Pazzo's. They worked OK but were bright gold on an all black bike, and they had some gravel rash. I used my stock Busa levers for a while.
Thought I'd give some of the cheap after market levers a try. Found a black set, Chinese I guess. Ridiculously cheap, I've paid more for a burger and coke!
I cheacked all the fittings, checked the brake light, checked the clutch switch, checked there was no pressure on either master at rest, went over them very throughly.
They've had several years use. They have been faultless. They haven't faded, aren't sloppy, have caused any drama.

In 80s i was Mechanic at driving school. Bike fleet was around 20, mainly XS 250/400 Yams. Super reliable. You can imagine how many tip overs, bent levers. Just buying new all the time was too costly. My fix. Get bent levers, straighten as much as possible. Cut them into 2 or 3 pieces with hacksaw. Drill down the centre, insert 2.5 mm brazing rod, araldite back together into good shape. Use car body filler on joins. Sand down, rattle can paint. Worked and looked like new ones.

Thank you for all advices. I am changing them because the left one broke and the right one is bent aftera fall.
After the advice, I will probably buy the original ones, even though they are more expensive :(
Thanks to all!

Stock of aftermarket, they should be a very easy lever to find.
The 14 shares the same levers with several other models.

Bandit 1250 and Busa have the same? Correctly?

Several models do. My Gen-1 Busa does, I'm pretty sure a Gen-2 doesn't, my Gen-3 doesn't.
EDIT: I'm not sure if it's 100% perfect but I use something like the Pazzo fitment guide for part numbers and compare various models to see what I can and can't swap.

Everything on my 14's are standard except for the twin system on the black and red 05 model which I believe slows it down.
