Alright...yall have tlaked me into ordering some. I just have to decide what color. I have a 06 F4i with factory yellow and grey paint. Im thinking either black, silver or gold. The only thing I dont like about the black is the red adjusters and my TB pipe has the anodized gold color on the cap...what do yall think?

Mine arrived today. Got em installed. The clutch side was easier than nate's girlfriend. Just kidding buddy hopefully we're still friends but the brake one took me a while to figure out but finally got it. It fells weird but I'm sure I'll get used to it. They do work though, i did my first stoppie with them on accident lol. Here are some pics

Then war it is- yeah man it is and it feels really awkward at first especially cause all I've ever know was the OEM length but they are nice and can't beat the $40 price tag.

I hate to ask this but how do you use the clutch, with 2 fingers or 3? I've tried both ways and 2 fingers doesn't quite feel right and there is just not enough room on the lever for 3 fingers so it feels really unnatural for me but I 2 finger the brake and it feels awesome.

Nate - Did you install yours this weekend?

IDK if you can see it in this pic but the cap on the bottom is anodized gold, the ring under the endcap is gold, and the bolts holding the endcap on are gold.

Hard to go wrong with black, but they have the Red accent. I'd probably give Gold a shot.
