I try to take one day at a time, however sometimes several days catch up with me at once.

Mine also a bit wobbly on pivot.New levers Webike around $20, genuine copy or original about $80.Dont know bush size,do you Eric? I can pull it out again and measure if you don't.

All good mate, will pop them out again and check the bush size and post it on here for reference. Have to order new boot and solid bushing, probably get 2 of each and look at those levers too. If I get bored I'll press the bushing out of the old levers and see if I can get replacements with the right inner bore to suit the mounting pin. 

BTW, really like how Suzuki / Nissin did that with the threaded pins, screws into the perch then locked with a nyloc nut on the underside.

I had a measure 8x11x18 I make it. To buy one bush silly prices, I'll just order a lever.The bush on mine is fairly worn also.Bought Kijima lever, Jap copy. $30 delivered.

Cheers Grog,  didn't get around to pulling the levers out again, too much other stuff around the house.  Agree, silly money for just some brass bushes.  Anyway, so I ordered 2x new bushes, 2x new boots, an OEM Clutch and OEM Brake lever from Webike Japan, I looked at the $12 Kijima lever, looks very decent, but they did only have the clutch one in bright alloy, the brake lever only in black, and not both in black either, so for about 40bucks more, got both genuine ones.  Including freight to Perth, a grand total of 125AUD.  For reference, MickHone (Melbourne Suzuki parts supplier) charges 108AUD for the clutch lever and 149AUD excluding delivery for just the levers, then the corresponding arm and leg for the other minor bits.

Happy days, will be looking forward to fitting up the new ones and seeing the difference they will make.  I remember putting Pazzo fully adjustable std (long) levers on my Daytona 675 and it was a transformation.
