They're expensive considering that the arn't even branded.

CRG's are the same price https://www.fasterbydesign.co.uk/bike_brokerage.asp?data=Levers_CRG+Roll-a-Click+Brake+Levers_218

Pazzo's are a bit more expensive https://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/products/ProductDetail.asp?cls=MCYCLE&pcode=PAZB-55B/BLK

Just remembered that I've seen cheaper versions.

Search for Titax levers on ebay.

M & P also do similar levers. £45 each https://www.mandp.co.uk/productInfo.aspx?catRef=578137

I've had the m&p ones for about a year. They are brilliant, love them.
I couldn't go back to standard levers now.

They are fully adjustable to your riding style.
You can adjust the clutch bite point from right at the end of the travel to up against the bar.
Brakes can be set where it feels most comfortable for you. With mine set further away increases how much feel is in the brake and close to the bar makes them razor sharp, good for commuting or hooning.
Also found the brake lever takes up all the play before the brake activates.

And take less than a second to adjust.

Edit, and I only use 2 fingers for brakes and clutch so short levers just make scence.

I always thought of them as a gimmick to be honest, another goodie for the billy bolt on brigade. As a lot of OE levers have around 5 adjusment settings on them anyway. May give some a try when I have some spare reddies to burn. Thinking

I found standard R6 lever's adjustment does bugger all, the adjustment on these make a big difference.

It doesnt seem i can get the short blue levers with either silver, black or gold adjusters on the crg link or the m&g link.
I'll look around but the ebay ones seem ok.

It is a bit annoying the way M&P do that.

I ordered a topbox and rack for my tour abroard on the busa. The topbox arrived but the rack didn't. They did tell me in an e-mail that the rack would be in in about 10 days but that was no use to me.

I'd have rather cancelled the whole order before they sent anything but they didn't give me the chance

I had to visit a spermbank to make donations 4 times a day for a month to save up enough money.




I didn't really but could you image how fun that would be? And that's only for the clutch lever Very Happy

I've just bought a new bike and these will be one of the first things I put on it.

I used to get cramp in my wrists on big bike meets (the ones where you have to constantly stop and start because there are so many bikes) but don't seem to with these Trak Tech ones.

Love 'em. Laughing
