Does the clutch side have the switch enable tab thingy?

Good question.  I'll find out when I get home tonight.

Yeah, 01 M750.  I got them from a vendor on ebay.  It was actually an off ebay deal because he didnt have the ones for my bike listed so I just contacted him direct.  Jay was very courteous.  Dont forget its Hong Kong so there is time a delay when he responds.  The link for this part is below.  It might even be for your bike.  I would wait till I get these installed before you order.  I'll post pics and a review when I get them on.  Good luck.

Installed.  With the exception of a 1/4"+/-(up and down) play in the lever, these are a bargain.  I will probably shim the lever mount with washers for a tighter fit but its no biggie.  By the way, the previous pics I posted were of the lever upside down.

My CRGs have the same up and down movement. No biggie.

Clutch switch tab thingy?

Thanks for the input.  Wasn't sure if it was just these levers or something most adjustable levers suffer from.  As for the tab; it doesn't have one.  It doesn't look like my bike needs that tab though.  I guess since you're asking, some bikes would need it.  I had to be specific as to what bike I had so I would imagine that if your bike did require it, it should be standard.

all ducatis have an in-gear clutch interlock for starting the bike while in gear.  has to be somewhere on your bike.,

I'm not using the interlock myself. just need to be in neutral to start the bike.

Not until '02.  Speedknot's bike came out of the factory with the brilliant only run in neutral with the sidestand down feature, a definite improvement over the previous suicide side stand.

I had the bike that wouldn't start at all till you put the stand up.  I did the kickstand interlock bypass.  Now I can warm the bike up without me being on it. [thumbsup]

If you've ever ridden off with the stand down...

you'd appreciate the suicide stand as much as I do. ;)

I used to hate the suicide sidestand on my bike...it just takes some getting used to.
I have also come close to dropping my bike trying to start it after it "falls" into first gear from neutral [bang]
