wheres the best place to buy a front brake lever and indicator?
about £60 for original lever, £10 m&p cheap one, do remember people saying something about RS250 one fitting but this is £63!

Don't know, but if you do find one cheap let me know, been trying to catch one on fleabay since January.
The pattern levers never seem to match the originals very well.
Might have to bite the bullet and pay full whack soon.
Indicators crop up on ebay though, I got one that way.
Don't make my mistake though, I had come to the conclusion that the early Mille round indicators must be the same as the Falco, they are not, they're smaller, still have the first one I bought to prove it!
Good luck !!

Those are supa-cheap! I've always wanted black ones (especially after the last year's lowside

). I'll give them a go. Thanks for the link!
Edit: I just re-read the decription - it says brake lever . But in one of the answers the seller stated it's a pair...

I dropped him a question to be sure.

They're certainly look a lot better than some I've seen Andy, but in my case I only have one slightly damaged lever and would like to keep things standard if I can. Not really bothered about colours, (although might be a bit tempted by black), and had hoped I could pick up a genuine unit for the almost 50 quid that a pair of these will cost delivered. Probably bite the bullet and pay 60 quid for a genuine unit eventually.
Don't know why I am wavering now I've spent around a grand using new or nearly new bits on the rest of the repairs?

Perhaps the thought of paying the remaining bills for the daughter's wedding in a few weeks time may be squeezing my brain a bit, certainly squeezed everything out of my bank account!

Then again she's worth it.

No .... £25 for a pair (read the Q&A on the ebay listing - the seller confirms the price is for a pair)

Bargain!

If youre going to spend £60 on a standard lever, why not spend £120 on a pair of pazzo blingy ones. They even do them in boring standard finish

If someone buys them ebay ones, post up a review when they arrive. I need a spare pair so i can crash again but dont want chinese ones that snap before i fall off

I'll give them a go, the seller answered to me that: "this is one set of two levers".

Edit: just found these, slightly dearer but better feedback and you can actually see them on a pic, which always helps.

More Levers!

I just ordered them ^^ as like you say, better feedback and piccys. £5 more but i'm worth it

Btw, my 04 complete bodywork for £35 never arrived *surprise* and he's sending me a refund. £1000 says it was never sent.
I won some Corner leathers for £55 but were told they had been 'sold in the shop the day before, but i can offer you these 1970's dayglo ones for the same price' twats.

Yeah - these ebay get-outs wind me up .... eg "may end the listing early as advertised elsewhere"
IMHO, the only listings that ebay should allow to start and not run to conclusion/sell to the highest bidder are "Buy It Nows"

I thought I was due to the same fate at the hands of a motor factors on ebay. Bid 3 quid for an air induction kit for the Tigra, usually sells for 100 quid or so. They had a disclaimer that it was advertised elsewhere, etc and reserved the right to fk me about, etc.

Won the auction and paid, with postage 7 quid for a brand new induction kit! Well chuffed. When I got it, it was indeed the 100 quid one as I thought.

I think Ebay should enforce a more stringent policy of disclaimer ads.
