Lever swap thread?

Pretty basic mod but I'd like to see if there's a good how to thread out there. I can't seem to find one if there is.

Brake side:
Remove nut and bolt holding brake lever in place.
Remove brake lever.
Insert new ASV lever (these are great levers, that's why I'm using them in my example) in place of OEM lever.
Replace bolt and tighten nut.

Clutch side:
Loosen clutch cable and remove from lever.
Remove nut and bolt holding clutch lever in place.
Remove clutch lever.
Replace OEM lever with ASV lever.
Replace nut and bolt holding lever in perch.
Reattach clutch cable.
Adjust cable as necessary.

That's all there is to it.

Found this on the R1 Forum. http://www.r1-forum.com/forums/showt...ighlight=lever Might help you out as well.

Installed and they work and look great! Had to sparingly file and use a little dielectric as the brake was sticking but they're great now. Thanks for the walk through.

Also, because I so rarely get to contribute anything of tech value here, the nuts were 10mm.
