Looking at that eBay auction you got the pivot pin with the levers which saves a job (I had to remove the pin from my old ones before fitting the Pazzos).

So, should be a straight swap, nut on the bottom, allen key in the top and unscrew.

Take the old lever out, pop the new one back in, sliding the pin back in to the rubber boot carefully and making sure it slides back right over the pin. Use a spot of grease. Try not to damage the rubber seal.

Just make a mental note how it fitted as you take apart, shouldn't take long.

Emmmm, clutch plates and clutch basket I've done, surely I can change a lever easily enough....

This is on a supersport but it might be of some use?

Just check that the actuating arm/pin is the same length as the ones coming off.

Look rather nice those JP
