DescriptionThe whole story▼

The CB1000R carries a Fireblade engine in a naked frame and is often bought by riders moving away from a supersport. They arrive with habits, including two-finger braking, and the standard lever rarely supports it. Five span settings and a bearing-mounted pivot bring the feel back to what they are used to.

Key Features

  • Span adjustment: five positions, set by a precise and smooth adjuster
  • Coloured inserts at the lever end can be exchanged
  • An optional remote adjuster can be retrofitted to change the span while riding
  • CNC-machined from high-strength aluminium, anodised
  • Folding lever, swings clear instead of breaking in a fall
  • Approved under ABE No. KBA 91507 (Gilles)

Type SC80

Gilles lists the CB1000R from 2018 under the type SC80 for the MPBL-04.

Folding blade

The lever folds away in a fall, which on an upright naked bike is the part most likely to touch the ground.

Road Approval

Gilles lists the MPL levers as approved under ABE No. KBA 91507 and names the Honda CB1000R (SC80) in the fitment list for this number. The certificate is supplied with the lever and belongs with the vehicle papers. Gilles does not publish the document, so we do not quote its conditions here; if you need them before ordering, ask us and we will request the current wording.

Scope of Delivery

Supplied as a single MPL brake lever in black. Gilles offers the clutch lever under its own number. On the Honda Fireblade, type SC82, the lever fits the RR version with the Nissin brake system only.

Fitting

The lever replaces the original one at the master cylinder, with the original pivot bolt and nut. Set the span, then check that the brake light switch and the free play behave as before and that the lever folds and returns by itself.
