    ok so after being a proper idiot and dropping the bike, i have amongst some scratches to sort, a bent brake lever and what looks like a slightly bent clip on... gonna tweak the clip on but my experience with cast aly is that once stressed it doesnt tend to take to well to bending back and just snaps... which would be really unhelpful as im trying to brake :scary:. so looking around for what im paying for a standard replacment i could spend alittle more and get somthing nice and shiny , seen quite a few cnc brake/clutch lever sets.. just wondering if anyone has any experience with any in particular? reccmmendations?

    I know a few people who have bought them from fleabay at around £25 the pair and say they are pretty good quality for the money, and am looking at getting a set myself for the B King.:thumbsup:

    I've got 'em on the SV and think they are fantastic value for money! Word of warning though, My bike lives outside and I bought some black ones, they are now a faded purple/silver coulour after about 4 months in the sunshine so it may have been a good idea to buy silver as oppose to black ones.

    I've had a set for a few months now.
    Much nicer feeling then the original Honda items.

    Had them on my Ninja and never had a problem with them. Looking at a Pazzo and these ones I couldn't tell the difference!!

    Waiting for some gold ones now for the Gixxer to match the forks and calipers :)

    Here's the levers I just fitted to mine. They were sent from HK on the 16th, and arrived this morning. Took all of 15 minutes to fit.

    The build quality is actually better than the ones I had fitted to my old ZX9R, and they cost me a tenner less too.

    Very pleased I am... :thumbsup:
