or it won't fit. http://www.ebay.com/itm/191216871400

Waiting to see that 23" wheel and inverted forks. sick!!
What's going on buddy!? I dig those levers and I can't believe you picked them up for so cheap! Good find. I have ABS so I wonder if they're a direct bolt-on? I'll try to contact the seller to see what they say. Thanks for helping me spend more money!!

ABS has zero effect on the levers.

Ok random question, but I could have sworn that before I could start the bike with the clutch pulled even if out of neutral, that's the norm right? Or am I just losing my mind and/or getting too old?

I haven't had to try it yet, but I believe that is true. I think it is that way because if a rider accidentally stalls the bike while letting out the clutch, he or she doesn't need the extra stress, in traffic, of locating neutral again before trying to restart the bike.

Yep thats normal, I now have to start in Neutral 90% of time and it's because I changed shift rod and arm which isn't exactly set right but they look good so who cares unless it dies at a light. Did you change rod or arm??

Agree, however I changed my shift rod and lever and now need to start in neutral 90% of time due to it not being exactly adjusted correct. Did you change rod or lever??
