Think they sold the last 900A in 2012 at £6200. On the other hand, £6200 is the askin price is for a -15 Tracer ABS w. Akra, Yam semi-hard panniers and 300 miles...

You'll never regret the gear indicator, no more "Am I in sixth?!" and kicking-up just to realise you were :o

There will be mixed opinions!

 

I personally have fitted them to 4 bikes now and i really like to have the extra adjustment that they offer. The bling volume is up to the individual. I just went for the Red adjuster to tie in with the Bike.

 

I have them fitted to my Griso which has a fairly heavy clutch and having the adjuster place the lever nearer the bar makes things easier around town.

 

Having this on the TDM as well is for my part a natural thing to do.

I think they do ! Two things:

- The straight part for your fingers fits better than the slightly curved original one

- It sists closer = more comfortable

 

Also, theyre good looking, buy a spare set to use for cuddeling  :badgerrock:

At $25 incl. shipping you can't go wrong. I like the fact that both brake and clutch levers are adjustable. There are short and long versions, the longs are still a little shorter than oem, helps clearing handguards If you use such.

Over the years I have bought 5 sets of levers from tophome.global and It's has been all perfect.

This is MY gray set I got for a MT07 one year ago. Right now I'm waiting a set for a FZ1.

Inspected front pads for wear=loads of miles left in em.

 

Test fitted a gel pad into the seat and rode off for a  yes/no - will need to try a longer run (feels ok tho), .... the jury is still out.


Single-handedly reviving the Wave.

Where to start.
Picked up the 900 winter project a few weeks since. Didn't look too bad in the photos but when I got her home she sure was a tired lady... a man searching for another project.


Wow, busy! I walked passed ours to hop on the little scooter.

:)

Yeah, I've done the IAM. And yeah, I recommend it (any so-called 'advanced training' come to that; not just IAM): A low cost training course based on the system used by the police, which is largely common sense once pointed out, making one smoother, quicker and safer. What's not to like? And why would one not want to tell others?  :hide:
