If they are leavers, wouldn't you actually be getting rid of them :smt017

I got a set from these guys:

At least, as they're UK-based, dealing with any potential problems should be easier. Very impressed with the quality, although I haven't ridden the bike with them fitted yet.

Just make sure they move freely. One or two had problems with aftermarket levers jamming their brakes on ..... probably a bit too exciting for most circumstances ....

Just to add I bought these in July or something and have had no problems whatsoever with them. They feel much more solid than the old Brembos and look the business, I am well pleased. Not the shorties mind - I bought long 'uns.
