These levers would cut your fingers clean off if you had an off and landed on the lever which is often the case. Can't understand how they are allowed to be sold....

Well, the question would be who in the right mind would put such things right next to your fingers...? As cool as setting your helmet on fire or removing the seat and sit on the muffler on an r-bike... Gawd...

Just cos' they're on Ebay doesn't actually mean they're allowed to be sold.

Ask the seller for a copy of his DOT approval (or whatever the Aussie equivalent is).

If he can't come up with, dob him in.

There is probably huge numbers of factories in China producing dumb **** like this. Maybe it's all just part of a grand plan to take over the world by taking advantage of our vanity/stupidity and killing us off one at a time?

I saw a ZX14 with a pair on - dumbest things I've ever seen.
If you want to cut meat at 150 K's fine - just don't do it anywhere near me ! :eek

Anyone would have to be an idiot to put them on a bike and I don't think it would pass a WOF here in NZ. (Warrant of Fitness six monthly test at a testing station)

They'd look really cool on a Harley though

Sometimes I think maybe we should just let evolution take it's course

You just don't get it Shadow man. Can't you see Sprock opening his clams by placing them in between the bars and levers? And hey, how about cracking them lobstas?

Walnuts anyone?
