1980 xs650 brake levers

I'm looking to upgrade my brake levers and am not to familiar with the specs of the stock. The pictures below is of my bike, the brake levers I'm looking at and the specs. Any guidance would be sweet.

When you say brake lever, most people here will think that you are referring to the lever on the front brake master cylinder.

I think those units would work on your bike. What you should be concerned about, other than the quality of these, is the 7/8" handlebar size and the bore size of the master cylinder. That bore size should work with your brake. What is the diameter of your bars? They could be 7/8", or they could be 1" if changed from stock size which is 7/8".

Hey Scott thanks for the quick reply! I should have specified my handlebars a little more, I just purchased a set of Tc bros 7/8 drag bars. I'm looking for some 7/8 levers with the reservoir to go with it and don't want to pull the trigger until I'm a little more certain.
