Ur levers DO NOT EXTEND Mr Nogster. They are flip levers in case of a drop but u dont have the adjustment for the LENGTH OF THE LEVER.
Mine.... ![[Image: 7y8e5aga.jpg]](http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/09/17/7y8e5aga.jpg) Yours.... ![[Image: uha5e7u4.jpg]](http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/09/17/uha5e7u4.jpg) Therefore mine are fast and far superior whereas yours are just fast ;-)

Chinese stuff tends to be cheaper also because they don't mind so much about copyright laws and as such R&D is much cheaper - buy one, take it down a machine shop and get them to copy it
 Also with Japanese/Western stuff you pay for the name a lot of the time which can bump up the price a lot.I plan on getting some of these levers when I pull my finger out, the long brake lever is a pain in the arse while filtering.

He he exup...youd be surprised how many speed reducing Blue bits my bike now has...
Ive got a "certificate of Blueness authenticity" I get to show it in court if cought speeding.... "You're honour i couldnt possibly have been doing 60mph as this certificate proves that Blue will simply not reach such speeds"

It's all part of the learning curve Noggy, and it sounds to me like you're taking it all in. I find that when I'm in a good safe riding mode, there are very few people who leave as great a gap as I do between themselves and the vehicle in front, yet I doubt I'm beyond the recommended braking distances. Yes, others will try to take the piss to fill the gap you leave, but then you just drop back from them too.
One thing that gets me to slow down and just generally ride a lot more safely is my little mantra: there'll always be another time - typically applied when there is slow traffic in front on my favourite roads. But, on my planet we're very similar to you humans, not infallible, and there are times when we do silly things. We just try to minimise the risks when we can. There are times and places for spirited riding, and that's one reason I get as much riding time in as I can, create more of those times, in the right (or "more right") places. Then again, on my planet, we can be very weird...

Some of the ne'er do wells seem to think a cast lever from Yamaha is stronger than a billet lever from T8082 if that's really what they are made from. Once you have used a decent cranked lever, you will hate standard levers.

I have standard levers, what benefits and disadvantages will I notice between short and long levers? I'd never given it any thought until this thread.
Opinions are like A**holes, Everyone has one. Some people seem to have more than one though which is a bit odd.

I've had CNC short levers on the bike for about 2 weeks, I'm only a weekend rider so have only done about 200 miles so far but as 2 fingers are always on the bars I feel more locked to the bike, especially when hard braking. I know you can use 2 fingers on the long levers but it never quite feels right. I'm guessing that there's also maybe less tendency to lock up the front as you're only grabbing the brake with 2 fingers rather than 4. For heavy clutchwork when filtering through traffic I also seem to be more in control as more of me is on the bars.
Some like 'em, some don't...seems to be a personal choice I guess but they deffo suit me, best £23 I spent yet.
Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines...
