Soooo since I decided to go with the hydraulic clutch conversion I had to buy these bad boys. I couldn't have mismatched handles. They weren't cheap but they sure are pretty. :whistle: :evil:

Just like normal, they have the brake line connection on the bottom. And no mirror hole to leave empty. They are GP style so no brake light switch so you have to use a banjo bolt switch which is fine with me.

Thank you Davido, I'm a lucky guy. She is NOT into motorcycles but never gives me a hard time about time spent in the garage.

As for the new levers, they are actually bigger than what I need so I'm not sure if it will work or not. The stock plungers were 14mm. These are 20mm. The only other ones I could find with a remote reservoir were 12mm which is to small. I know for sure I don't want to small. I am also running SS lines so spongy feeling brakes should be history.

Lol so aside from being possibly to aggressive does anyone think they will be an issue? There is another set on eBay that were 14mm they are GP style knock-offs from China for $49 for the set. I stayed away from them and paid a lot more for the ones I have because I thought they were from the US. They showed up with made in Tiwan stickers on the packaging. I looked them over hard and the build quality is there. Any thoughts/suggestions.

Being so large, they should last for a while. Tiwan, isn't that ROC anyway? Is there a warranty? :unsure: Link?
