2002 RT125 Clutch lever: Must use MZ OEM?

[SeattlePaul]

Greetings,

I *still* haven't gotten around to calling Phil at BSA-Regal to give him my credit card # for the clutch lever.

I was pretty amazed when I saw the recent brake light thread, when people sent in part numbers from Aprillia at al to replace the switches.

The Domino clutch lever is probably likewise a commodity part, used on any number of bikes. I have spent hours online trying to track it down. Unless someone has another source, I will probably call Phil Monday to order it, but it just seems silly. Who knows how many warehouses in the US have that exact part, with another brand's part number on it?

I wish there was a way to crack the secretive bike part supply chain, and order third-party commodity parts more directly. I know this is mere fantasy. I bet the parts suppliers and bike mfrs are in cahoots to keep us out of the loop, to protect parts sales revenues for the bike makers.

the only supply of the clutch and brake levers for the rt125
is bsa in the uk
i know because i have been looking for them from an other brand for
4 years with no luck
and the front and rear chain sprockets are the same
MZ only

oil filter is k and n 151 or same as one of the bmw f650's
air filter is mz only and bike runs bad if you try to replace it with
uni foam
brake pads rear are same as kaw bn125 the little 125cc chopper
it uses them front and rear on the rt and
the front on the sm sx are common to the royal enfield bullet made in inda

Actually, I could have gotten a silver one from either an Aprillia or Moto Guzzi, I forget which. A little spray paint, and I would have been off. I forget which model, and I'm disinclined to go back to that shop now. Looks like the official OEM part from MZ this time.
