Hi, I wanted to know if the clutch and brake levers of the TRX 850, are compatible with the R1 1998 to 2003, because in Italy I found a company that makes the levers (called Performance Technology) and am interested in buying the model EVO II, but I need to know their compatibility ', thanks. Greetings :hello2: :hello2: :hello2: from Italy.

Found some good looking and bl**dy cheap universal rearsets on Ebay:

And their main site:

Can`t remember what hole centres the TRX mounting points are, so you`ll need to measure them up and contact that seller to clarify which model you want. :wink:

Very happy mate very happy. Think with a bit of knowhow and engineering you could get a better fit on the clutch with something custom machined. Fung noticed a bit of freeplay up and down in both levers but going to tighten up the bolts to sort that out tomorrow.
Look fantastic not reaching now 8) job done and sorted :D

Awesome. It's not that expensive. Paid half of that for OEM clutch lever. (Just for a broken off tip :x )
Looks awesome. :wink:

Got levers from the same place, really cheap, quick posting too.
Front brake straight fit no problems at all.
For the clutch i replaced the original bolt/pin with one from my dirt bike (larger diameter sleeve bit) it fitted perfectly, then brass washers top and bottom to remove the vertical freeplay and now perfect!

glad I spotted this as I need a new set of levers, and pegs. I wonder why the 50mm spaced rear sets are so much more expensive than the 80?

As they are CNC`ed it`s likely down to production costs against pairs sold that`s all, materials wise there will be nothing in it. :wink:

yes tht makes sense I suppose. I'm tempted, doesn't seem to be much out there about them on the web though.
