Clutch and Brake Levers

kirbo7106 · 06-17-2017, 03:26 PM

Other than ordering clutch and brake levers from RPS, does anyone know what clutch and brake levers fit the Hawk 250? I don't want to replace the entire assemblies, just the levers.

Thanks!

I did a search a week or two ago for exactly this and someone had posted that cb500x levers worked so I ordered a set. Sure enough they fit perfectly. Here is a link to the set I bought https://www.ebay.com/itm/292139695237

Hey Wancsta,

Thanks for the info on the levers! Do you prefer short levers or long levers?

Thanks again!

How do they compare lengthwise to the stock levers?

I prefer short and they are a little bit shorter . Kind of like comparing apples to oranges with the stock ones. I did it more for the adjustable aspect. This is my wife's learning bike and the stock ones were quite a reach for her hands. The appearance is a plus too.

The levers I'm looking at have 2 sizes. The long levers are 17.5 cm from pivot bolt to the end of the lever. The short ones are 14.6 cm from the pivot bolt to the end of the lever.

I haven't measured the factory ones yet. I'll do that tomorrow.

Have a great night!

I measured the factory levers and they are approximately 15.24 cm. I'm going to order the short ones. I'll post pictures when I get them installed.

Ride safe!

yes, sounds like the short ones would be the best choice. I just contacted the seller and asked if they have any colors other than red in US stock.

Agreed buy the short ones. This way no issues with bark busters.
