Thought I Would Try These!

I have always wondered what these Chinese levers were like, so for 79 dollars I thought what the hell. The look and the finish is I think is fantastic for the price and I am very pleased with them.

Anyone else tried them?

I fitted the m-part levers to my blade and KTM
They were cheaper than that ,about £35
The anodising on the folk ones for the KTM has faded ,but apart from that they're fine
The black ones on the blade are fine tho

I bought a not lenght adjustable set for 20,44 euros (appx. 16 pounds)/ delivered and I was more than surprised about the quality - those were real good !

Bargain!..for that sort of cash you can afford to take a punt....and they certainly look the part.
You might already know this, but when fitting make sure you have sufficient clearance between the plunger and the m/c?
About 2mm? ish? Failure to do this can result in a front end lock up.

Whu?....you've had a lock up?

A few people have. Be careful and leave enough clearance

Yep - I was lucky that I was in town and it happened in low speed, brake 'melted' close.

It was evening when I installed those levers ( not so warm) and I did do an 20 km. trialride without any problems, next day when it was more warm happened this.

Thanks lads I will certainly take note and check that. I don't want to be throwing it down the road next time out!

had them on mine now for 4 months, they are brilliant, even had busman eched on them. black colour is starting to fade a touch but still look good, would recommend them, at the price you can change them every 12 months.

I got a set of shorties on mine 2nd hand for 15qud and they are ace. Been on for a fwe years now with no problems and they still look excellent.
