  1. I need a pair, thanks anyway.
     
  2. you can buy them singlely mate so all you'd have to do is get a brake lever. if you want my clutch one bud
     
  3. Passos ? More money than sense. I put Chinese on my 1198 and you could not tell the difference. £24
     
  4. id put chinese on mine aswell but found the sweat and sour chicken doesnt work aswell!!
     
  5. Thanks mate, but I think I will just get a pair of Chinese ones.

    Got them on my other bike and they are fine.
     
  6. cool mate no worries
     
  7. Miss Pineapple had some Chinese levers on her GSXR and the brakes were awful. We changed the pads , the brake lines, the fluid, bled it a whole load of times and they were still rubbish. Eventually we tried some new levers and the brakes were transformed. I can't remember where the new ones came from off hand but I'll always be weary of cheap levers from now on despite lots of people saying the cheap Chinese ones have been fine. Same with the rear sets; I had some on my first bike, a CBR600f after I broke the originals and one side was perfect but the other side was rattling around all the time due to bad quality tolerences.

  10. Sounds like a good plan, would love to do that. I'll let you know if I'm heading down that way. Due a trip to some welsh roads nearby so would makes sense :)
