It's kind of a gloomy day in OKC today, so I figured I would try a project I have been putting off for a little bit. I would like to have a little bit longer brake lever, but I couldn't find one specifically for my bike. I was able to fit a Tusk lever to my 2004 KX250 (using the 2004 pivot bolt), but it hits the clutch cover a little bit and sticks out a tad more than I would like.
Thankfully Tusk makes replaceable ends that you can buy for $19.99. They bolt on to the Tusk lever, but will not bolt to the stock lever without modification.
I also picked up the replacement clevis for $12.99. It says it only fits the 2005 and up, but it fits my 2003 and 2004 just fine.
In order to get it to fit, I got out my Dremel tool and cut a small trench in the top of the lever to fit a small ridge machined into the bottom of the Tusk lever. Nothing fancy, just ground until the bolt hole lined up.
I polished the lever up with some Mother's Mag and Aluminum polish, gave it a quick wax and installed it on the bike. I really like how it turned out.
It gives me the that little bit of extra length I was looking for as well. Here it is with the lever from my 04.
