Talking Brake Levers

I know somefolk don't like the idea of buying cheep chinese levers, but i am now on my second set and thought I would pass on.

Bought these LEVERS and recieved them in exactly 2 weeks from date of sale. The seller even sends you a photograph of the package !!!

I thought they were too cheap but for £17, went for the gamble. They are as good as the ones I got for the SV which i paid more for and the anodising looks much 'thicker'. The quality of machining is excellent and the fit and finish is very tidy, the details bits like- an internal brass barrel, which pushes on the brake master, very nice. The fit into the clutch is actually tighter than the original, with less wobble on both levers, than the OE's And they included all brake light switch and clutch switch parts, so no need to fabricate (which IIRC someone on here recently had to?).

I always feel like its a gamble to buy chinese but thought if i can pass on a good seller, maybe help some folks out

Are these the shorty ones?

I bought a set of the shorty ones and just couldn't get along with them, had to swap back to OEM.
Quality product for the price though.

I've got a set of them on the Blade, and have the same opinion as Ron - they're excellent.

mine have faded a lovely titanium colour but were black.

i think they all come out of the same factory. mine are also superb at around 18k of use.
