Hello I have a suzuki gp100, I am looking for a new set of levers for it.

Because it's drum on the front I uses cables. I am looking for cnc style levers for it. Are they any such levers in the wild for cable operated breaks ?

Why are you throwing money at this? The standard levers are more than up to the job.

Save your money for test and big bike.

Yes i am putting money into it, but with all due respect this doesn't answer my question, I also plan on keeping it after i have done my full bike test, but i am waiting for another year to do my a1 test instead of doing one now and another in a years time, it's would be an even bigger waste of money.

A cheese string makes a good lever.

You do know that money doesn't go off and can be saved for more than a year?

To answer your question, yes there are CNC levers to fit cable operated brakes but not for a 100cc Suzuki that's over 30 years old!

Best bet would be to head down to your local breakers yard and find something to fit (or head off to a local engineering firm and ask them for a 'one-off')

Swapping a brake lever doesn't count as 'building a bike'.

You said you wanted to change the brake levers, are you intending to change the clutch lever to match?

First thing that comes to mind is one from a bike (as in cycle).

The second thing that comes to mind is searching ebay..there are quite a few to chose from.

Presume you mean something like this?

If so buy them, or equivalent, then remove the black part of the lever that fixes it to the bike. Take your old levers and cut off the bit that attaches to the bike - leaving enough room for adjustments. Shape the end of the old bit to fit in the new levers, you may need to build them up to be wide enough. Probably requires an engineering shop if you have limited tooling/experience in this kind of work (not really the type of thing you need snapping if you make a dog's dinner of it!)
