Due to a recent incident of having a gudgeon pin falling out on my shiny vario levers...resulting in my front brake lever falling off whilst road riding,i have decided to refit my old,boring but safe levers.
Well i would if i had not mis-placed them somewhere in my house,backup plan was to order some second-hand levers from Motorworks.The newish levers arrived the next day as is usual with everything i ordered from them..very good on getting items to you quick.
Problem is the levers appear to be the wrong type..by their records,they fit an 1150 GSA ( 02 plate ) and have had many customers order this type....Black,heavily engineered lever with span adjuster and what appears to be a 20mm thin black plunger or dangly bit on the inside of the lever coupling,and hollow ball lever end.
My old levers were solid ball,cast aluminium ( silver ) with span adjuster,very simple engineering,the same as a jap bike lever and did not have the plunger/dangly bit on them?
What does everyone else have fitted to their 1150 GSA ( 02 )...black/fancy or silver/simple levers,or do i have the handlebars off a normal GS fitted or something?
And yes...next time i take a part off,i will put it somewhere findable again....dont suppose anyone near Fleet or Basingstoke has a spare front brake lever of the type i need by chance?
Thanks for help
