Rip off pricing
Hi folks, had a 'minor off' on the ice on Thursday and broke my brake pedal. Have just spoken to West London Suzuki and been quoted £67.90 for a new one.
Is it just me or is that crazy expensive? |

Re: Rip off pricing
That's about right. It was about that 3 years ago when I broke mine. So at least it hasn't gone up since then!

Re: Rip off pricing
Have you broken the lever quite far back or the front bit ?
If it is near the front then http://www.fixer-peg.co.uk/ may be of help to you . They sell replacement Pegs as well so you could drill the old lever and fit a new Peg . |

Re: Rip off pricing
Put a fixer-peg on. When I broke the toe bit on my brake pedal in Jan 2008 that's what I did, and it's still on there now.

Re: Rip off pricing
I fitted a MFW brake and gear lever to mine after my off, sorry I don't have anything more close up but
Looks smart, and were cheaper than suzuki (back in 2001), seems Suzuki have got even more rip-off! http://www.mandp.co.uk/productinfo/3...ear-Levers/MFW Druid
