Thought I would pass along what I learned about after market leavers for my 961 SF.

I had a hard time finding any leavers... that I liked for the Norton, I wanted Pazzo Leavers ( had them on other bikes and liked the look and feel) but Pazzo doesn't make levers for the Norton 961. However what I did find is that the DUCATI 748 UP TO 1998 (DB-12/DC-12) levers will work on the Norton. I went with the ; long, Black Lever w/Tritium Tab.

Just a side note: I also found the Aprilia O ring was the correct ring to fix my fuel pump leak, it matched the Aprilia fuel pump...

Does anyone find this Norton parts thing a little different, or am I just a bit naive :)

Can you give a little more detail on the Gas Tank Fuel pump O-ring ? Is this the round , circular section o-ring on the AF1 website ? Did you use any sealant ? Just wondering of course . And not naive , you're right its different or non-existent . Why won't Norton sell the O-rings ?

Also , an SF levers will be the same as my Sport with the integrated master cylinders . So those levers should fit my bike I think .

Yes that's were I got the "O" ring, from AF1 Racing $50.00 they were shocked at the price too. AF1 contacted Norton, no help. ( Ed Cook was the one that helped me at AF1, so he now knows what's up with fuel pumps for the Norton 961).

Since Brembo supply the reservoirs for the 961, its not actually to difficult to find levers. There's quite a bit of compatibility between the 961 and some of the dated Aprilia bikes. Go on AF1 website and browse. Quite a few nice levers there. I'm sure many are sold in the UK. The ones you put on look quite nice. Thanks.
