Got some chrome levers, non HD when I put on my apes. They rattle around like crazy so I put some HD levers on that I found on the discount table and they fit perfect.

Just avoid the $20 levers found on eBay, etc. You really get what you pay for. The HD levers, although made elsewhere, have chrome that stands up.

Thanks for the advice on the levers. I installed the new levers Santa brought me. They look and feel awesome compared to the old ones!

Went with new clutch and front master from jp, worked like a charm. The clutch lever is actualy a little wider than stock, which aids in a more comfortable engagement. jmho. 90 fxrs-sp

I've always considered the quality of HD parts to be excellent.
