CB350F adjustable span brake levers

Hello,
Does anyone know if there are any aftermaket ones that will fit? I suppose I could try to use a master cylinder from a modern bike, assuming that I can find one with an appropriate piston diameter.

Eric, no there isn't. Do you have small hands mate? Get some "Dog Leg" levers (copies of Magura's famous 1970's racing levers) they give better feel, and more power. Cheers, Terry.

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.
So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

G'Day Henry, have a look at Ebay mate, type in "Honda CB350F" (or 400/500/550/750 etc) and look for "Power levers". If you can find some original Magura's you'll be doing very well (don't do a search on "magura" or you'll end up with a gazillion push bike parts) but anyway, they'll be expensive and the repro ones work fine, but aren't as flexible if you "drop" your bike. Cheers, Terry.

I am one who was blessed with small hands - good for doing repairs in tight locations but not perfectly set up to operate the rather underwhelming CB brakes. Many thanks for posting the Ebay link. I have been looking for a set of power levers for my CB500 for quite some time.
