Help Finding an Adjustable Clutch Lever

Does anyone know where to find an adjustable clutch lever for the 91 - 95 FJ? There are bunches of aluminum levers from China listed on eBay that claim to fit the FJ, but I don't think any of them do. I've already gone that route and the levers I received weren't even close ( I did get my money back and got to keep the levers, although I still don't know what bike they really fit). The look and finish were actually quite nice.

I know some of you have bought CNC aluminum levers off eBay with success. The only lever I'm seeing right now that appears to be adjustable and compatible is this one:

I'm also not finding anything with google searches.

If anyone has any suggestions, I would be very appreciative.

Most have changed the master to get the adjustable lever. My brake is from a Kawi Concours and my clutch is from FJR.
The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.

Find a used master from e.g an FJR1300 (which I have on my FJ).
1985 - Yamaha FJ1100 36Y
1978 - Yamaha SR500
1983 - Kawasaki GPZ550 (sold)
1977 - Kawasaki Z400 (sold)

Not all masters have the same bore diameter, even from the same make and model. The 14MM is good when you double up on the clutch spring. No more slip and butter soft like a single spring. The bore diameter is frequently cast in the part.

Found I had the same problem a few years back, bought new levers for my 3CV, but nothing like originals. Stuck them aeay in a drawer.
When I fitted the FJR 1300 M/Cs last year, I found they firted those. Very useful as being black they enabled me to keep the original FJ look.
Unfortunately I am no longer young enough to know everything...

Thanks all!

Sounds like the FJR m/c is the way to go. I'm heading over to eBay here shortly  :good2:
