Very nice!  And they bolt right on?

[CoolHandLuke]

Fsck me.  That shot of your handgrips and bar ends looks extremely phallic.

We should have an age warning on those photos!!

[rybes]

yup, bolt straight in no messin about.
however, ive been told by a mate that theres a bolt that needs sortin out



the arrowed one. aparantly they are a standard bolt wich is threaded all the way to the head. aparantly, the thread slowly chews the aluminum away and makes the lever wobbly. im goin to have a look at mine over the weekend and see what its like. if it is ill probly get a smaller bolt and a sleeve made up unless i can find a bolt with an unthreaded portion thatll do the job. ill let ya know what i find

[CoolHandLuke]

Is it possible to drill out a bit and put a sleeve around the existing bolt?

[rybes]

ossibly, im just gunna finish me bacon n egg roll n go and have a look

[CoolHandLuke]

I just bought me a set :)

[rybes]

good man :D there well worth the pennies

just been out and took a lever apart and everythin seems ok. they have a bolt wich is threaded all the way to the top but it already has a brass sleeve in the main body of the lever. only bit wich isnt sleeved is where the lever bolts onto the switch pushin part  

[Sin_Tiger]

Think I might just have to get a set, or two, of those myself.

Rybes, with the money you saved could you buy a set of grips that don't look like they came out of an Ann Summers catalogue

[rybes]

 i get a lot of comments but them grips. was gunna change em but i think ill just leave em now as they seem to cause so much interest  :lol:

They look cool, but I find the clutch pull heavy and sometimes I need all four fingers on the brake hand to haul this heavy pig to a stop.  

Of course, you might have Popeye forearms. :lol:

[CoolHandLuke]

Clutch pull is nice and sweet with these levers.  I bought two sets - I couldn't resist at £23.

£23!  :shock:
