GY200 brake levers
Had a little a spill the other day and snapped the front brake lever on my 06 Hongdou GY200 :(
A new lever off eBay (prinmary parts source for chinese bikes in the UK) is about £12-14 which is bit steep in my mind. Does anyone know if any Honda (or other Jap manafacturers) levers will fit ? TIA |

If I owned a whole chinabike instead of just powerplants, and broke a part {through use or quality problem}, I would replace it with the best and easily maintainable part available.
Have a look around at other mainstream bikes, find a lever that suits you. For argument's sake, lets say it is the Honda CRF230. Go on Ebay, or to your local Honda shop, and buy the lever with perch for the CRF. Break that lever in the future, replacements are easy enough to find. You just have to remember what bike it was from. Note in your owners manual? I would apply this concept every time a part broke, or I found a china part that didnt meet my expectations. You will end up with a better bike in the end. |

Yeah i've considered that. I don't really want to replace the master cylinder etc If I don't have too.
I'm sure that something from mainstream Jap bikes will work, its just a case of finding which one. |
