1980 Honda CB900C Custom · Levers & Clutch Cable Buying guide
Match the 1980 brake lever to its master-cylinder perch, and inspect the cable-operated clutch for stiffness, wear and poor routing. New levers will not remove play caused by a worn perch or pivot.

The stock-type brake lever references for this year are 53175-438-010; the clutch lever reference is 53178-461-000. Compare the pivot and contact features as well as appearance. Use the correct pivot hardware and verify the brake-light switch still operates.
The listed clutch cable references 22870-425-010 and 22870-ME1-670 for the 1980–82 Custom. Changed handlebars or routing can alter the required reach. Route without sharp bends or tension at full steering lock, then set free play using the Honda procedure.
Start with the cable and release mechanism. Honda identifies a kinked, damaged or dirty cable and a damaged lifter mechanism as causes of excessive lever effort. Replacing plates alone may not help.
Inspect the pivot bolt, lever bore and perch together. Wear in the perch or incorrect hardware can leave movement even with a new lever.
Confirm smooth movement and correct free play, then turn the bars fully each way to check for pulling or binding. Verify the clutch releases and re-engages correctly before riding.
