OMG - I don't know why I didn't do this mod sooner!!!
I've heard that the Polaris brake lever found on the Axys chassis can be used on our Vipers. I think it was around 2015 when Polaris began to use the same Hayes master cylinder that is used on Arctic Cat models, which is also the same as our Viper and Sidewinder models. But the profile of the brake lever is different. After doing a little more research I nailed down the part number and took a chance at it.
This is literally a 2 minute bolt on! You take one bolt out, remove the lever, and install the new one. The Polaris part number is 2205334. I got mine on ebay for about $40. New they are priced closer to $80. The profile and reach to the lever in my opinion is waaay better than the stock one. It reminds me very much of the levers that I'm used to on past 'true' Yamaha sleds.
