  • These are surprisingly good. Ridden with them about 100 miles so far. Operate smooth, perfect size. Looks like good quality to me.

    Careful of brake lock-up because of pin fitment not engaging brake properly. Look it up on TH-cam. It happened on my CBR 600rr but luckily I was only rolling a couple mph then complete front brake lock-up. Just FYI brother🤙

    Bought my Drz used, these levers came with it but are lose feeling on the bike like it’s got a gap in between the frame and the lever. Think a washer work? I can’t find one thin enough thob

    • @linksgarage1985
      @linksgarage1985  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I’d be very careful with anything you do with levers or hand controls. They are critical. A washer may cause something to bind up or stick. It could put you down fast. I actually swapped those out for a set of ASVs. And they’ve been great. Good luck bro.

    Stay clear of these. They have snapped on me during braking. MZS look cool as fuck, but do NOT buy these cheap aftermarket levers when your life depends on them. Stick to OEM or Zeta!
    Edit: There are a lot of videos on why you should stick to OEM levers and numerous bike shops have backed this up as well.
