Young1. I'm happy with the levers. Had a set of Ebay specials on the R1 originally and no issues with them although the anodising does seem to fade a little over time. Have some FP Racing shorties on the R1 now.

Tomorrow I'll be Installing the levers, rearsets, fork adjusters and work out how I'm going to get the front off the ground to remove the wheel so I can paint up the forks & front wheel. Stick the tank pad on and get the rear end of the bike reasembled atleast.

Should be a busy day at this stage ...

Well I decided to by myself a dedicated track bike. And have been progressively sorting it out over the last few week.
