Not yet

Fatherly duties etc

But soon

[Sharpy G]

got these too:

not black, billet or Japanese

but very light and very nice

Ti race spec front caliper bolts from ProBolt

So:

After looking around for about a year for some replacement clutch and brake levers more in keeping with the bike, after considering the excellent offerings from CRG/ASV/Pazzo.................I decided that altho' nice kit, I was seeing them fitted to almost every bike out there, nowt wrong with them but ......

I wanted something just a little different;
maybe less 'blingy' , more Brembo race look, black, billet, preferably flip up & with the option of a L/H mounted remote adjuster for the brake

(didn't Rossi look cool in that on bike footage when he busted up the inside overtaking whilst adjusting his front brake )

So up 'till now I had found nothing that ticked all the boxes

many thanks to Jamie @ Performance Pars Ltd. for sorting these out for me
made by Active in Japan, top quality stuff and exactly what I was looking for !

They look like Harley things to me, still if you want to fit rubbish to the blingmobile that`s up to you!

Couldn't you do with some flip-up levers Bob?

They won't break when you walk past your bike in the garage, to get to the wine-rack

How about these Accossato ones that JHP supply?

Seen them, nice but not billet machined, look more like the standard levers
