next on the shopping list for the daytona is some short levers.

dunno why just fancy a set quick look on fleebay and they start at £20 for a pair, right up to £170 for the set.

Anyone bought cheap levers before, they look the same as the ones at £170, theres nothing wrong with my standard ones so I begrudge paying that for a bit of fking metal.

I've bought a set of EvoTech levers for my Daytona and although they don't have the unbreakable design of the ASV's, they do fold up and adjust right to where I want them. They weren't that expensive either.
Mine do the same but were half the price of the EvoTechs...
not too expensive they are like a hundred and twenty fking quid.

OCD what do you use

A bit of a mad idea, but hey, I'll just throw this out there...

...stick with the OEM ones!?

Or, nick some of your missus' nail varnish and paint them something pretty, like pink!
the colour would match my lid.

its more for the short levers look. to be honest I find oem ones too big, always use only two fingers for brake/clutch from days of mountain biking.
