Brake Levers

Brake Levers: the hand control between your fingers and your front brake

A brake lever is the hand control that pushes fluid through your master cylinder to squeeze the caliper. On most bikes it lives on the right bar and does the direct mechanical job of turning a two-finger pull into front braking force. People replace brake levers for three reasons: a crash bent or snapped the old one, they want adjustable reach so the lever sits right for their hand, or they want the look of a machined billet or chrome piece. Wilwood's hand-brake assemblies also cover cutting-brake and go-kart style setups where a hand lever runs its own master cylinder.

What ThreePiece stocks

There are 85 brake levers in this category right now, from 5 brands: CRG Constructors (36), Kuryakyn aside, Kuryakyn (29), ProTaper (10), Bikers Choice (7) and Wilwood (3). Current pricing runs from $35 to $353 for what is in stock, which is a snapshot and not a fixed promise. At the top end are Wilwood assemblies like the Dual M/C 11:1 hand cutting brake and the horizontal 11:1 hand brake assembly. For sportbikes there are ProTaper Profile Pro levers such as the 14-23 KTM/Husqvarna XPS and the 17-23 KX250/KX450 XPS. For baggers, Kuryakyn Zombie sets like the 14-16 Touring chrome and the 21-23 Touring chrome handle the cruiser look.

Coverage

65 of the 85 listings carry fitment data spanning model years 1989 to 2024. Top makes include Harley-Davidson, Kawasaki, Honda, Yamaha, Ducati, Suzuki, Triumph, KTM and Aprilia, on models such as Harley-Davidson Touring and FL/FLT, Kawasaki ZX6R and ZX10R, Honda CBR600RR and CBR1000RR, Suzuki GSXR600 and GSXR1000R, Ducati Monster and Scrambler, and Yamaha FZ1 and R3.

How to choose

Match the lever to your riding first. Sportbike riders after adjustable reach and folding crash protection lean toward CRG and ProTaper. Bagger and cruiser owners chasing a chrome match choose Kuryakyn Zombie sets. If you run a hand-brake or cutting-brake setup rather than a bar-mount lever, the Wilwood assemblies are the ones with their own master-cylinder ratio. Price tracks that split: simple replacement levers sit near the $35 floor, while the full Wilwood assemblies reach the $353 top. Always confirm the lever matches your master cylinder and year before ordering.

What else you need

A lever is one part of the front hydraulic circuit. If yours is worn, look at Master Cylinders and Brake Lines at the same time. To renew the whole system, browse Brake Pads, Brake Rotors and Brake Calipers, or step up with Brake Upgrade Kits. See everything under the Brakes section.
