Controls decision
18 Sep 2025 10:32 - 18 Sep 2025 10:38
In my build(78 KZ) I have a complete ZRX front end but am going with the original style(78) handlebar controls. I am utilizing a ZRX master cylinder to ease the install of the brake lines and such but will run into the issue of how to get matching handlebar levers? If that makes sense. How to match the clutch lever(78 clutch/cable)to the brake master cylinder of a ZRX.

The only way I can imagine that would be to cut off the part of the ZRX lever that you wrap your fingers around,and cut the same part from a 78 KZ whatever you have, and weld it onto the ZRX base. You will need to retain the ZRX base to insure the proper measurements and geometry to operate the brakes and the brake light switch.
