By the way, we really should stop jacking this particular thread (heh, my bad) and take this to NMC.

If anyone wants to keep this separate conversation going, start a thread in NMC and post a link to it and I'll merge the posts from here into it...

Wow, wish I knew this and saw those first. I might pick them up. In the mean time I've got some Motowheels folding levers on their way.

Am I the only one that doesn't like "shorty" levers? Not enough leverage.

does anyone know if these guys will work with coffin reservoirs?

thanks to member Some Dude, i found this item

it doesn't list my m800 as a compatible bike, but i'm assuming it's just overlooked and that they use the same part as all the other monsters.  correct?

I still have the coffins as well... does this exclude me from using these?

No.  Coffin masters have a different pivot size and plunger.

^^^Speaking of which, those fleabay levers look like a small pivot design, unless it's the wrong picture.  the pivot holes on the coffin style reservoirs are pretty large.

Anyone seen these yet? They look pretty interesting and quite adjustable. I wonder if the have the tab on the clutch lever that will let you start the bike in gear.

I can't speak to those levers specifically, but in general if you have a hydraulic clutch you can ditch the OE clutch safety switch and replace it with a sexy brake line pressure switch banjo bolt like this:


This is how my wife's M620 is set up now.  I put these levers on her bike and my KTM Duke 620 and we're both very pleased with the result.

Do they come with the barrel pins? or do you have take them off the old levers?

CETME, it's a hydraulic switch and is activated by the fluid.  No barrel pins needed.   It replaces a banjo bolt, which secures the hydraulic line to the master. 

I was asking if the levers came with these:

For those who are considering these levers, mine are for sale here: http://www.ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=48419.0

I don't remember for sure about the Ducati levers I got, but for the KTM ones I had to swap HW like that from the OEM levers to the aftermarket units.

I just got some "M-Factory" levers in from eBay. Quality seems great to me, fit and finish is very professional, movement of the position selector is solid and efficient, and the color of the anodizing is rich. Id recommend these for sure. The black lever with gold adjuster looks great on my dark 696.

I love'em.

just got mine in and put them on.   from "the2wheels" and took about 2 weeks to get to me.  cant see any issues with them and though they didnt list 696/796 levers on ebay, they did have them once you asked in a message.

oh, and they do have that tab on the clutch lever that lets you start up in gear.
