    If you use two fingers for braking you might end up only using two fingers for everything else!

    With the 'feature' of the lever coming back to the grips, definitely not recommended for ABS bikes!

    The latter. With the bonus of being hideous.

    I had an accident a few years back where the lever bent back and broke my fingers, I think I may have lost them with these

    That's a prime example of form over function that is. Too much of that lark going on in this day & age!!

    Saw some of these at the cafe on a CB though to myself...mmmm NO WAY they are going thorough and MOT and if plod stop you it could be deemed as an offensive weapon even if it attached to your bike, also as sold on eBay unattached to a bike you'd think they fall into the same band as knives etc..

    Anyway DUMB idea IMO.

    Wow ... :eek:


    One question............................ WHY??


    Having seen these it reminds me of a trip to europe a couple of years ago when an group of Hell Angels pulled into a camp site we were staying and one of them got off the bike, unscrewed the foot rests and slipped them over his knuckles...... l

    like these

    As Arthur says, even without the 'edge', the lack of a knob means it will fail it's MOT. Is the 'edge' effect not just marked into the surface though and not honed...?
