Purchased-Universal 7/8" Brake and Clutch Lever Set
One nice thing with having 7/8" bars is it opens up the possibility of using other parts other than super expensive Harley only items. Case in point-universal 7/8" clutch and brake levers. Black and grey, just like my SR. No one makes replacement CNC'd replacement adjustable levers for the SR as they have different levers than the Street. These would work on all Streets I believe. $45 off eBay. They are the only set I could find that didn't have the mirror perches cast into the housing. Instead, they come with a second set of bar clamps with them cast in. I'll post some pics once I get them installed.

Why did I change the OEM levers? I like to personalize my bikes, they were nicely priced, lighter than the OEM levers and they go with the theme of the bike. I like the look of the hovering fluid reservoir as well. More "sporty" in my eye. They are adjustable. They also, after a very quick ride, made the front brakes feel better. My bikes are toys. I like to tinker and make them my own.
Needed to do some wiring changes to get the clutch switch to hook up. No biggie.

Removed the aftermarket lever kit today for a couple reasons. Got a CEL (P0704-Clutch Switch Input Circuit Malfunction). I guess the bike didn't like the switch in the new levers. I did loose the gear indicator once I installed them. Foreshadowing it seems. The second reason was the front brakes developed an uncomfortable off/on feeling with a very small area of modulation. No matter how many times I bled the lines it was still there. I honestly wasn't expecting much for $50. It was a purely aesthetic purchase.
