I've had them on my Gen 1 and now have had them on my Gen 3 for the last 2 years. Can't fault them, easy to install, look good with good adjustability.

Just wondering with the new models with cruise control
the clutch lever has 2 plastic bits under the lever.
Will I need to take the plastic bits off and fit on the new lever so will work correctly?

Levers

They should come supplied with fitting instructions but whatever you do be careful not to damage the delicate clutch microswitches. If you do both the quickshifter and cruise control will no longer function.

Re: Levers

Thats good advise as i did exactly that and damaged the micro switches.There is a vid on you tube that shiws you how to avoid this which i watched before fitting another pair and everything was fine.You will know if you have done it right if after fitting you pull the clutch lever in you will hear two clicks.

Cork did yours come with the micro switches fitted ?

 

[fast_ryan]

Microswitches

The microswitches are part of the switch assembly on the bike. You need to be careful when removing the OEM lever, and installing the new clutch lever, because if not you will easily damage them.

Re: Microswitches

Yep looks piss easy to install. I have just seen the alpha racing levers today online and might get some of them instead of the Gilles.

You just have to make sure not to bend. It's one of those things if you don't know you'll bend. If you know you'll be fine
