I'm very impressed with the workmanship and finish. That these can be machined, assembled and shipped for @$40.00 per pair beggars belief. Pics to follow...

I bought two sets of these levers (1-long and 1-short). Was impressed with the quality for the price. They fit well on the first try. Only thing I noticed that I didn't like was that these levers did not have bushings in the pivot holes. I greased them up well and will inspect them at the end of the riding season to see how they're holding up.

Prowler - It seems a shame they have not fitted a bush, as without one it will wear the alloy, and it would have cost little to do anyway. Are you sure there is not one as it sounds a little odd not to have one.

I just checked out the CRG website, I see no evidence of a bushing in the photos of their levers. Are the photo's a true representation of their product?

Got mine last weekend, and I'm totally pleased. I love the adjustability. It fixes a problem I've always had with my Ulysses, which was the long clutch throw. Having my finger tips barely gripping the clutch lever at the point of engagement contributed to several u-turning drops. I took it out in a parking lot with the new levers, and it feels much better.
