brake /clutch levers - Stedman8 - 10-03-13
Hi, I was looking at some ally brake/clutch levers on e-bay blue coloured ( short type ) they're about £20 ( to tight for titax ) but they dont seem to have any for my fazer, does anyone out there know which levers are interchangeable on the Yamahas, p.s. I also have an original silencer and a belly pan ( bit rough but usable with a clean up all fitments included) which may be used in swap + cash if anyone has titax ones they dont want . Mods I know this should probably be split up and put on forsale/wanted/for swap etc but any dealing will be done private message and not on this thread .The basic thing I wanted to know was about the compatability of levers,cheers Steve

I won't offer any trade but I got these for my fazer - had the same dilemma :

less than £34 with shipment - they send it with TNT from china, so i had it in around a week, customer service was actually one of the best i ever had.
Quality - they fit well, I just rounded the point of contact with the brake caliper.
They look really good but they are obviously not as detailed as £200 ones - but still they are comfortable and work well.

What do you mean by this?
And how did you get round the freight charges mentioned in the listing?
Re: brake /clutch levers - Anarch - 16-03-13
You know the small sticking out part in the brake lever - the one that does the actual work and pushes in the rubber cylinder - that part on the lever had sharp edges (ie they should be rounded) - I was affraid that the ruber can get damaged so i simply filed and rounded the edges a bit - took me 5 minutes. I mentioned this in my email to the seller and they said their engineers will look into it.
As to freight charges - it was a bit under £4 and shipped with TNT, I wasn't charged any extra tax for importing them.
Hope this helps - as I said they are not as good quality as the £200 ones, but for 30 quid I'm really happy with them.
