I've had Gilles fx on my previous 3 BMW's. Great adjustment and quality item too. They make the HP ones but a fraction of the price. Check calsport website.

Had Chinese ones on for last 3months, no problems whatsoever and at 27squid. I bought them with a view that it's not the end of the world if I have to bin them but was pleasantly surprised. Not all Chinese, hongkongese, Japanese, Taiwanese etc etc are crap nowadays. Mind you, I wouldn't buy the Chinese wheels yet lol. Technology has moved on a great deal in the last 10yrs.... Same with case savers, well made and can't see them failing in the event of a crash...

All the genuine( LOL) Chinese parts I have bought have all been spot on, I've had levers for all four of my bikes rear sets for my bM and gsxr, engine case protectors for all of them, a few upper fairing brackets for the BM, chain tensioners all these items have been excellent

I got round to fitting a set of HP levers to my bike this afternoon (ta to Ryan), but encountered a few little issues, the first of which was the original brake lever is held in by a slotted bolt, not a torx... is that right? seemed very wrong to me. It's also a Nissin level, again, which just felt bad.
The bolts holding the brake assembly to the bike weren't tight either so as I tried to apply pressure to the slotted bolt, the whole thing just rotated about the clip on. A gentle tightening later saw me just about strip the torx heads on the 2 bolts holding the assembly-i'm guessing the bolts are very soft metal as I didn't apply much in the way of torque.
The most annoying thing though was the tiny torx bolt holding the gearshift sensor bar (that's a guess as to its. functionality) to the clutch lever. My t8 was too big s had to use a set of pincers to jerry rig the bloody thing free for attachment to the HP lever....grr.
If nothing else, the bike looks better now
