Did you guys get shortys from Hong Kong? I am interested in picking up a set. I bought a double bubble windscreen from China and after I installed it I wiped down my finger prints with Honda polish and scratched the hell out of it. I am kind weary about overseas stuff.

 

Yeah, I've had multiple sets from there on different bikes, and they've all been great.

But I've only used the black and silver ones. I have heard about the "red" levers turning pink after a few years of being out in the sun.

But the ones that I had were great.

 

I also got a pair of shortys for my bike from ebay and havent had a single problem yet but they were only 15bucks so if they break ill get another pair. Im not paying 200 bucks for levers.

 

I haven't heard a bad report about these levers yet, the only complaints are from people who refuse to try them because they're made in china.


bdeljoose any acrylic will scratch if you use course polish on it, soapy water will do the trick. I've had a couple of the taller thermal mould windshields and they are great, no scratches. The smaller double bubble is injection moulded but I'm not a fan of the look.

 

Okay, I have an additional question. As I browse eBay for levers should I be looking for ones specific to my year and make of bike? Many I see don't seem to have any specifics.
Thanks for the input guys.

 

Most of those sellers list a ton of models. Honda, for example, didn't make different set of levers for every single motorcycle they had - so a lot of the levers work on many different models. Usually, you have to tell the seller a)what model you have, and b) what color levers you want.

Sometimes they're model specific, but other times they list 50 models together. *Generally*, their communication is pretty good, so go ahead and contact them to make sure it's specifically for your model.

 

For the most part as long as you type in the model and short levers you should be good Ive gotten 2 sets from 2 different sellers and all was well.
