I used a clutch lever for a 90cc Honda dirtbike. Not sure if it's the right size for a gtr, but spacer can be added and material can be removed if necessary

Mine was 7 bucks. It's worth trying to make it fit in my opinion. If it doesnt fit, oh well.

I tried using a Clutch Lever I got from the Honda dealership. Here are some problems I ran into :

One on my 35 GDSD I had to destroy the factory plastic throttle lever to get the cable out of it. Once the Clutch lever was installed with a little grinding I found that it did not have enough "stroke" to reach WOT.

So now what... I put my backup throttle cable and lever back on and ran it all weekend. This may have worked for other clutch levers but not in my application.
