    Word of warning for anyone else after the cheaper Chinese option off Flea-bay, I bought 2 pairs clutch and brake (£25 per pair) extend-able folding lever looked the biz..........BUT caused the brake to drag causing a front wheel lock-on at Anglesey 20/5/11 on the start finish straight at 125-130 mph.( That was in the 1st 20 min session of the day and i was there for 2 days !!!) Not a good day out £700 to replace fairings, levers, rearsets and front b/m/c.

    I then took the roadbike out with the same new levers on and had the same happen , but i was expecting the possibility, so managed to keep control and park up safely before changing the b/m/c.

    Moral of the story............... Buy cheap pay twice and then some.
