I like the look 8)

Very tempted to put bar-end mirrors on my Renthal handlebars.

Where did you purchase the levers from if you don't mind me asking :?:

The levers are from Hong Kong via ebay. £15.99 delivered I've used these since 2003 with no issues at all.I first used them on a z1000 in 2003. :biggrin

Many thanks for the vote of confidence in those levers, that is something that I have been lacking, hence why I asked where you purchased them.

I think what has put me off was a long time ago there were one or two videos posted on Youtube showing how certain levers failed (the adjuster bit) that came from China. I wouldn't be quite so worried about a clutch lever failing, but a front brake lever is something else.

You can't get better feedback than from someone who has had experience of using these from 2003 :thumbup:

Yeah Chris,I totally agree. The saving is massive comparing others like pazzo and titax. But having had both there is no difference in quality just the name! Go for it :biggrin

Be aware Chris that some levers are sold with no provision for a hydraulic clutch and you may
have to drill said lever to accept the rod.
I should know..... :lol:
