Granted, if one was being subjective, but it does mean inappropriate. I would have stuck with rude if I was you.

Fitted them this morning - took a few minutes and was very simple. Only needed the bushing swap on the clutch side.
I'm not riding it just yet, as the battery is on charge in the house, and it's starting to piddle down outside.
The action feels good - hopeful that they will be an improvement. They certainly look a lot better than the ones that were on it - not sure if they were originals or not. Yeah, I know it needs a clean! :o

Hullooo chaps! (and chapesses
)I got the bike out for a test ride and some maintenance today (see woeful story of broken ExUp pulley) so I took a few shots in daylight:

Not much point showing the clutch lever settings - I found that as it was, on setting 1 and 2, put into gear = bike takes off! 3 is dragging. 4, 5 and 6 were okay - but further reach. So the clutch needed a bit of adjusting and testing. I'm happy with it now, even though I still can't use settings 1 and 2.
I do like these, they feel good - the brake is far better than the one I took off - which I found was actually broken at the fitting hole.

Pictures (David Bailey doesn't needs worry) of my Chinese levers. They feel great but the adjusters are on maximum already. They feel a little bit 'loose' but I haven't got any expensive ones to compare them with. All in all well worth the money.
