Will my ASV C5 Sport Brake Levers off my Buell XB12scg fit on my 2015 1190SX ?

2008-2010 Kawasaki ZX14. I cross referenced the parts #s in the ASV cat & they are the same for both bikes. Who would have thought!

I know the ZX-14's will work for the clutch, but I have heard the brake lever doesn't match up exactly.. At least this is the case with CRG.

Don't know cause I haven't put them on yet but the part #s are the same in the ASV catalog. I heard that also but I'm going by part #s.

I am currently working on getting CRG to fit levers on my bike and give us a definitive answer if ZX-14 levers fit.

ASV levers have their own EBR part numbers, if you go on motomummy.com they list the EBR levers.

As I said they are the same part# as the ZX14.

I'd recommend keeping the stock levers installed. The last 1190 I bought had been crashed due to aftermarket (asv) levers being installed. They kept the plunger partially depressed, bike was crashed because of it. That said, it's your bike and you may do as you wish.

They probably had the Zx-14 levers.

EBR does offer their own replacement levers. They are expensive($280 for the pair), but they work. Cheaper than replacing parts if a faulty lever makes you wreck your bike, thats for certain.

Is the plunger adjustable? If not maybe the plunger can be filed down. I did it on an aftermarket lever once.

I'm sure you can make it work with modification. Just be sure its 100% before you take it out. Hate to see anyone wipeout due to some lever malfunction.

The EBR folding levers are really nice, but costly units. It would be nice to know who manufactured them.

Yeah, they are a little "stiff" in price($140 ea). I thought the AVS & such were expensive @ around $125 but $15 more is not too much more to spend, I guess. I just have a set from a friends ZX14.

The front brake light sensor is in a different place on the ZX-14 levers.
And the plungers on the EBR are slightly larger than the ZX levers, so you have to drill out the brass piece (in the ZX levers) a very small amount, otherwise the brakes and clutch are slightly engaged (not good).

Thanks strange trip, that's good to know. I might have missed that!

A guy piped up on one of the threads in the ebr owners group on facebook and said he worked for the company that made them and they were stiffed on payment. I tried twice to ask him if they still had any or could make some direct to us to sell but no response.

I read that too, and noticed he didn't respond. There were a lot of businesses that didn't get paid and that is one of the problems that EBR and LAP have had to overcome since the receivership.
