How do they do it?

[LockieP]

I recently replaced my GS with an RT but on closer inspection when cleaning it I noticed that the brake & clutch levers were stained. It looks as if the previous owner got something corrosive on them. So whilst trawling t’internet for replacements I came across these on Aliexpress & for £27 delivered I thought I’d give them a go. I ordered them on 05 Feb & they arrived yesterday (12 Feb) kindly thrown over the garden gate by the Kings of shite courier companies Evri.

Fitted today & I’m impressed. I’ve yet to go out for a ride but I can’t see any issues

Don't know whether it's still "the way" but in years gone by genuine levers had a knack of bending if you drop the bike and cheap aftermarket ending in several pieces...

More than half of this forum, bemoans cheap knock-off Chinese junk…. Then someone buys a brake lever.

I’ve yet to go out for a ride but I can’t see any issues….,

Let’s hope that remains the case.

I thought a “Chinese Junk” was a boat ??

seen many posts about aftermarket levers that do not properly align with the two microswitches on the clutch for the quickshift and ignition circuits.

Or if someone remembers the cheap rear shocks with oil reservoir that wasn’t connected….
Almost impossible to see unless you cut the whole thing open..
