And then there’s Sciroccos much easier fix. I love the knowledge here in this forum.

The KZ1000 clutch Lever had a longer M6 bolt guide that makes him more Play free.

My brake lever is a bit different from the ones already pictured. It has a wider bronze bushing that is apparently pressed into a bore within the lever itself. At some point I may take the bushing out of the original brake lever and bore a reception hole in the replacement lever and insert the bushing in that lever. Should not be a big deal if I can find the proper size reamer for this job. See attached picture for my original lever and note the bushing size.
