    Looking for a set of original levers, not aftermarket. Already have a pair that are bent and ground up, looking for a pair in really good shape. Thanks!

    Because from experience in multiple other mechanical arenas (granted, not motorcycle), non OEM aftermarket parts have subtle yet noticeable quality differences. Cry once, as they say. If aftermarket parts are equivalent or better than OEM will gladly buy them instead.

    Motion Pro all day. BETTER than OEM, nice black finish, bronze bushing for the mounting/pivot bolt-- $8 pretty much anywhere. Got 'em on both my 550s and you can't tell the difference (except the stock Yamaha levers aren't black all over, just the parts that show.)

    Been to their site, see a brake lever but no listing for a clutch lever. Appreciate the advice, though. Good to know that quality aftermarket parts exist for the xs
