Dude, you ROCK! I'll be heading out tomorrow to order me a lever by the looks!
Thank you SO much!

I would, definately cannot let my misses see this!! shes got an 07 15of and had been looking for new plastics too, ended up just getting number board background decals cos parts for the 150f's are like you said "a mission".

Not to mention pricey, has cost me a bit under $2'000 for plastics AND decals

You don't really need to bother with unbreakable levers if you're running bark busters.

I actually do, the reason I run Zeta's is not for the breaking aspect, but for the fact that they adjust more than factory levers.
I'm really little and have tiny hands... so I find I really struggle (like now) with factory levers as when you adjust them in to where I can reach comfortably, they do silly things. Like the brakes don't work as well because the cable isn't moving enough.
I suffer from RSI from hairdressing, so have real issues with fingers and having to reach a long way, but when I went to Zeta's I found they are perfect for me, as you can wind in the lever, without compromising the cable at all!

Oh and can you just fit some different forks to the bike? I found my sisters 150f had really soft forks and they have no adjustment. They are a nice little bike to ride though and have a surprisingly grunty little engine.

I'm not sure, we haven't looked into that yet... I've only had the bike 3 weeks haha.
I'm pretty little though, and I've ridden once with the heavier fork oil and so far it feels okay. I didn't bottom them out at all at Mt Biggs.
We figured if I do start, we'll likely upgrade the spring kit as there is one on eBay and then go from there.
I'm only 5'1 and weigh under 50kg so I don't have a whole lot of weight to throw at the bike hahaha
Bike weighs 3 times what I do!!!

You mean clutch doesnt work because the cable doesnt move far enough? Should be hydraulic brake..

[Reckless]

Bloody nice job you've done of that bike girl looks awesome!!!

Utter rubbish as I discovered after contacting the American manufacturer, who had them landed on my doorstep 4 days after I paid for them.

You've just found out why 2/3 of bikers (road & dirt) are buying direct from the USA! 1/2 the price and 10 times quicker!! LOL!!!

Sorry yeah you are right, but it's still a problem with the brake, as part of the brake hits the bars too soon if you get what I mean? Right now the brake is too far away from my finger to be comfortable - I'm missing my DRZ like crazy for that fact.
Not braking as much as usual though on the upside hahahaha

It was definitely as quick, it took the same number of days for the store in the Hutt to get me HALF the plastics from Christchurch as it took me to get the rest from California.
I don't know if it was much cheaper though.....

I paid a bit under $600 for the front & rear fender and the side numberboards through the store.
Then I paid about $300NZ for just the front air vent panel things direct from Maier including shipping.
Made for bloody expensive plastics


Thanks heaps for the comments though, hoping I'll not blend into the crowd so much now - so yeah, when I'm on my ass on the ground you should ALL know who to point and laugh at later hahahahaha

Upon more investigating...
We've already had and returned that lever. It doesn't fit.

Looking good, sounds like a lot of effort but look at the reward. Every girl will be jelous.

You should be able to make leavers fit. I made ASV leavers fit my pit bike. That wasn't to hard.

If you have the full wrap around bark busters you wont need them. But if you have hand gaurds that just stop your fingers getting cold in the winter then un brakeable's are a good idea.

Well done.

Interesting, wonder whether the master cylinder has been changed to something more common, I did read somewhere that they had the brakes off an XR400, I had a crf-f back about 100(4) years ago.
I dont mean to sound condescending, but have you tried to match it with other levers the bike store? Honda, or otherwise. As you could kind of work sideways, in that if it matches something else, and that different lever then fits a KX for example, then logically a kx zeta lever should fit.

Although, if I was to guess at another model lever I would go with the DF-ZE41-3105, which fits XR's.

[Reckless]

hey brain wave what about heating the lever up with a heat gun, gas torch or in the oven and bending it in slightly?? If its only 10mm you want out of it it could just do the trick!
Be careful not to weaken it by over heating but it could be the answer and cheap?? you ain't got much to loose?

[thecharmed01]

Well, have my fingers crossed that the latest pair of Zeta's we are waiting on *might* do the trick! If not I think modifying them is on the agenda hehe

Also picked up (and am reselling) a CRF250 exhaust as it was way too big to be modified for my bike.
Currently eying up a new exhaust on eBay as there doesn't appear to be much around in NZ.

Have been on a few more rides with her now though and I love it! It's such a wicked little bike and so much more grunt than my DRZ or TTR had combined haha

[NordieBoy]

You'd better change your profile info now.

[D3ALN]

That bike looks grouse in those colours I quite like it.

LOL

thanks, just did :P

[nomnomnom]

Wow your bike looks amazing Sharyn!!! its so you! heheheh good job

[ktm84mxc]

Now that's a sharp looking bike. The internet is a God send for kiwi bikers as we can get what we want at a price that's affordable.
A idea for your exhaust try Musket in Welly as they make a lot of pipes for older bikes & quads at very reasonable prices & may built what you want. Get your local shop to help.

[glukasil]

sorry for being negative but what a waste of money and time...........bike looked fine before.

all those stickers and other stuff you dont need for dirt........
remind me same situation with jetski i used to be great fan.....

dirt bike has to be dirty

p.s.happy to ride 1990 kdx 200 ...... scruffy as hell
