    Custom Levers

    Where can I find custom levers that fit the Warrior? I like either the open blade type or the one that has the groves for your fingers. I found ones that have skulls on the end, but not too sure on those? Does anyone have on their bike with pics or does anyone know where I can find some to choose from? Thanks!

    Vector,
    Try looking for any levers that fit the Regular RoadStar. Those will fit on the Warrior. It will help expand your search.

    You can pick up chrome wide blade levers from JC Whitney for about $10. I have them on my Royal Star and they are top notch quality.

    I was lucky enough to pick up some chrome RS levers off Ebay. The downside is that the nests, and the rest of the controls for that matter, aren't chrome - so the levers stand out a bit. I plan on going the chromed controls route before too long. The levers are wide, thick and comfortable. I wouldn't mind seeing someone come up with a different style of lever though, like some aftermarket levers you see for sportbikes.

    The v-star 650 controls are the same as ours.

    Re: Custom Levers

    OK, so the RS levers are the same as ours, but who makes some nice custom levers for us? I was in a custom shop today and I saw all the crazy custom levers with designs on them, one was a mermaid, another was billet, and the salesman told me they all are for Harley only. Damn!

    I've been looking for new levers as well and I'm in the same boat. I know RS levers work, but I want sport bike levers. Does anyone know if the R1 or R6 levers work? I've seen a message board on here http://rswarrior.com/forums/p/104786/879644.aspx#879644 by frankenstein.. Doesn't really tell how or how much but maybe you can get some answers out of him.

    I'm in the same boat.  I want the adjustable levers like the CRG's, but don't know if they will fit the stock Warrior perch.  Does anyone know definitively it the R1/R6 levers fit the stock Warrior perch?  Not sure if the perch has changed throughout the years, mine is an '02....

    Re: Custom Levers

    he does but he changed out the entire setup (not just the levers) to a radial R1 setup.  He also had to bore out the clamps as most are designed for 7/8" bars...

    I've put the question out several times but there was no definitive answer - looking to see if just the levers will swap out while maintaining the stock Warrior perch, clutch switch, brake mc, etc.  Just looking for the adjustability of the lever position....

    Speedjohnson - nice to know I'm not the only one wanting to do this...

    Re: Custom Levers

    My bike is an 02' as well, just got it last june new. (Yeah I got a brand new 02 in 07 recals done and out the door for less than 8KStick out tongue.) But anyway... I'm going to my dealer friday to get a fender rack for a raider and I'm going to ask if the R1/R6 will fit the perch. I really don't feel like going through the trouble of doing what frankenstein did.

    Re: Custom Levers

     I want the same thing...but I keep finding all the really really expensive things!! Super AngryI found a guy on Ebay that sells custom made billet set-ups by a French company, Beringer here: www.beringer.fr

    I had been looking at one of his items:  for $195US
     

    The Beringer stuff he quoted me goes for about $1100 a set though....I am thinking about them and the ISR line as well... The quest continues!
