Default brake lever question

Can anyone tell me the difference between the 07 & 08 brake lever assemblies? They have different part numbers (42407-02 & 42407-08) but what is the difference? Does anyone know if they are interchangeable? Thanks.

Sorry. I should have specified "rear" brake lever assemblies.

I don’t know but I’ll give you a bump by speculating that it is due to Brembo brakes starting with the 2008 models.

Potato prob hit it on the head. And most likely the difference is the location of the brake clevis at the lever.
