Got the shorty motorcycle brake and clutch levers for my Er6N on eBay. They work great and only cost £14! Awesome purchase, just make sure you install them properly...

I have never had a problem with mine. My zx11d, cbr1000rr,gsxr750 srad ,gsxr1100w,zzr600 they all worked and still work great. The only thing I bought for my bike from China that I did like.

I have bought a couple sets for my 2007 Kawasaki ZZR-600, no issues at all. I did add grease to the attachment bolt. I also purchased a set for my 2008 Suzuki GSXR-750 and had the dealer do some small adjustments. They are working great for the past few years. I went the eBay route cause I couldn't afford the really expensive name brands and figured other riders have purchased them with little or no issues.

I bought a set of these for my 2010 ER6N in November. cost about R280, so +/- £16. Since its pretty sunny here mine have already gone from pitch black to a sort of gold tinged black. Still, at 1/5th the price I'm happy.

Cheers for letting me know Greg - interesting. I've seen other comments which basically say the same - they're functionally fine but the finish isn't that good. I usually keep mine under a cover but it's also only sunny 1% of the time in London, so hopefully they'll last a little longer. Wonder if you could get them powder coated on the cheap? Might work ok as long as the finish isn't too thick for them to fit into the housing.

You may notice the square face/edge on these type of after market levers, very noticeable on my Aprilia, compared to the nice rounded feel on the originals. have fitted these to every bike ive purchased , I get the fold up ones, incase of a drop & end up stranded with out a clutch. Actually considering linishing the top edge to a nice radius, then polishing or paint as they do feel bulky and square slightly keen-edged when squeezing up to engage controls .

Dude! Lube the damn pivot bolt and the clutch cable end barrel! And triple-check that the new lever does not engage the master cylinder piston more than about 1mm at rest (the results of a partially engaged piston are not good unless you enjoy unexpected locked front brakes). And a dollop of grease where the lever contacts the piston is a damn good idea as well.

Ive had them on everything Ive owned and not had a problem. TBH while i was watching your video I was thinking I would clean off that old dirty grease and apply fresh if it was me ;-) Also, while the clutch cable is off the lever its worth lubing the cable before fitting. Ive just loaded a video on the brake lever fitting as there’s a bit more to it on the Speed Triple.

Hi. Just seen your vid. I'm thinking about short levers for my bike and have looked at these ones. A concern though was that if I braked really hard would the lever snap?!! Sounds daft but standard levers are designed to bend to a point. I wouldn't want to pull on that lever and it snap due to cheap materials. It's been a while since you fitted these ones. How are they now?
@motobob

Hey PT! You’d have to be pretty strong to snap them. Mine have been fine. But ultimately that decision is up to you as to whether you want to risk cheap parts! If you’re really worried, but something you can guarantee has been thoroughly tested

If you can remember, did you have to take apart the brake lever n install spring and n stuff, I noticed in another video. Clutch is str8 forward, but brake seems like you have to put a spring in there.. what would that be for? It was a 1 minute video of Chinese girl building these levers. Idk if you have seen it or not, but really got me confused as hell. I've got 87 Honda Rebel Cmx450c No1 sells the good adjustable levers for this bike. Her hand is too short to reach the clutch n brake levers. Even new Halo levers won't fit my, her bike. Completely rebuilt bike. Iove it, but haven't installed the levers yet, same as yours

your moped your choice but levers like this only work on mopeds with a drum rear brake so if you are lucky enough to have disks front and back you need a set with two master cylinders plus if you have brake lights wired to your levers as most scooters do mine do the brake light and electric start ie: pull brake to start scooter some of these levers don't have any connectors for the wires so you will have no backlight or ignition start wire

So you think your life is worth so little? Consider the quality of material and assembly if it's shipped to your house for only 14 quid! Do some research and you may discover why reputable brands are expensive. But if you're willing to grab on the brake lever one day and have it fail then it's your choice. Chinese indicators and mirrors are one thing but placing your life in the hands of a 7 quid lever?

Hi. .I hope sense then you have cleaned off the wd40 and creased the levers. Reason I mention and I'm sure you know is wd40 is great for loads of stuff but it is a degreaser. Why it should never be used on bikes chain for example. Unless of course it wasn't standard,original wd40 you used. That case I'll shut up.
