Dt125 00-04 is the one I used.Got the info from here somewhere(do a quick search).
E-bay £4.95. Use a good quality nylon lined cable with a thick inner cable and it makes a big difference.Just take your time filing away at your housing to get a decent fit.You'll also need an oversize lever bolt (mb).

Hi, I started a thread previously - Yamaha clutch lever re' the same query. There's some good photo's on there too. A point to look out for though the lever I got - DT125 didn't fit the Indian housing but did fit an Italian housing.

I find you need to file the support the most then take a bit off the lever. Fine emery to shine it back up. These also have an 8mm hole, so you'll need to use the MB oversize pivot bolt and drill the support to take the 8mm bolt.

It's got a 5 plate with uprated springs and I can pull it in with one finger. A good nylon lined cable is a must though.

rather than drill out the housing you can sleeve the lever this way if you break the lever you can use a std one as a stop gap or get you home solution.
