The guy mixed levers for me - fireblade for the brake, and Storm for clutch. So they match too!

They're very well made Benny - but, yes, they took ages to come!

Thinking of getting the same ones. From Chinese land, What are they like to fit. Simple job or a pain in the butt?

Doddle to fit - the guy sent me a link to "A N Other" manufacturers website, to make sure I got the right ones (as I have a 'Storm clutch and a Fireblade 919 M/Cyl) - I just gave him the codes. They come as alloy lever - then a hard nylon block for the hinge assembly - which is where they make the different adaptations.

They feel and look great - I had them on in under 10 mins (including uncovering 'Stormy, and sitting on to make "vroom vroom" noises)

Ordered mine today. Black with red selector switch. Had to as some tw@ dropped my bike yesterday in an attempted theft and bent the brake lever. Used it as a reason to get the new ones.

Pinky, I got mine from an trader on E Bay, HK Helmet, and got them in around a week. Brilliant quality and perfect fit. Hope yours get through as quickly and sorry to hear about your visit from the thieving gits.

Mine are coming from honkish land. Total cost including postage is £35. Number is 260739042271 if anyones after some.

I dont see the point of spending a few hundred on Pazzo or Titax when I can get away with spending less for some. Brand awareness is a gimick and I've long since learned that just because its a big brand it doesnt always make them the best. Had a big fight with DR Martian once over boots failing within weeks three pairs, and ended up with cheaper replica's that lasted me years. So if these cheap ones do the job then I've saved myself a shedload!

Pinkys a happy chappy now. Just got to fit them and then take the beastie out for a hoon. (Gently until I get my cruise controll problem sorted) :lol:

Certainly well chuffed with mine, fitted in minutes...

I reckon Pauline will want a pair like yours though!
