Just got my precision engineering shifter, brake lever, and shifter pivot in and got them installed on the bike. Very nice quality pieces just a few minor fitment problems. I had to grind a little on the factory shifter link to get it to rotate in the shifter lever properly. It wanted to stick and the shifter would stick up or down. Also to the other side I had to spread the brake actuator bracket a little, because when I would tighten it down it would immobilize the lever and you couldn't push down on the rear brake. They are awesome looking levers and well worth the half hour it took to make them work right. I love the fact that the shifter knob is over twice the length now as the stock one and your not just using your big toe to shift. Only down side is its a little tighter to squeeze your foot in there to drop the kickstand.
