This is not a query about drums themselves but about levers, cables and switches.
Is the Suzuki GT750 550 lever the only 2 lead (4ls puller) that comes with an integrated brake switch?
What options are there for different simple levers with switches? (and I don't mean ones like big honda handlebar switches with intergrated levers, but stand alone levers)
I'd currently like to mount a 2ls brake, but maybe in the future a 4ls so I'd like to get a lever that can do both or be made to do both. I understand there are inline cable switches but that these affect drum sensitivity and performance negatively so would prefer not to use them?
I have the Suzuki on my GT750 4LS front brake. You wouldn't want to run it on a 2LS hub as where the cables mount to the lever is a pivoting section to allow for slight variances in cable lengths. The pivot point is in the middle of where the two cables mount, so if only one cable was mounted it would pivot all the way on that side and could be a stress problem.
The eBay item Kiley linked to is a right-side brake lever. What are you seeing that makes it look like a left side lever? Frankly it could be used on either side, but to me it appears to be designed for the right side. It also has the pivoting cable mount, so might not be suitable for a 2LS.

It did have written left side clutch lever or something like that but I think the seller has changed the description, I suppose it doesn't matter even if it was as the top and underside look almost identical. Thanks for the knowledge with the 4ls suz brake, I'll leave that for an actual 4ls setup.
Check out how a Yamaha TD3 or TZ250A brake works. It has a normal brake lever and perch and short cable to the wiffletree (compensating device) and then two cables to the 4LS brake. Use that with a 4ls and a normal cable for 2LS.
That lever that Kiley found is a replacement for a GT750 and should sell well to the AHRMA crowd that use the GT750 boat anchor. brake.

It's going to have a great big gaping hole in it by the time I've spent 3 hours doing it with that.
