Painting levers

[madmike]

This may sound a bit chavy, but I don't think it will look so.

I'll be picking my 600f up in just over a week now (hopefully) and the shopping list is growing! My NC29 had those fake pazzo levers on and I did like them but I've been thinking about buying a spare set of the 'original levers' and painting them matte or satin black? I think it will look nice?

Now, before I seriously consider this.... is it stupid?

yes it is stoopid! but only if your just going to paint them, there is some lacquer that is made for doing alloy wheels with, its supposed to be scratch and chip resistant, would defo be worth getting some of that over the top to protect the colour, also comes in mat and satin finish.

Yeah I figured they would need protecting after, but I'm just not a fan of the original silver sorry lol

I'm after this sort of look

But without the massive price tag!

Powder coating?

Why not just a cheap et of the HK/Chinese sets floating about on the bay?

I thought they only did the short ones, further investigation shows these!

The more I think about it, the more I think your right

[Bernster]

Might grip better? After all isn't this what their primary role is?

Or a set of Adjustable ones here

I'd guess your local powder coating place could sort out a pair of levers for about £15-20, add that to the cost of buying some cheapo fake ones, is it worth it? I paid about £35 for a pair of the fake pazzo things inc delivery. Bargain.

I have these for my R1. Can't fault them. They look and fit great and don't cost the earth.

Highly recommended.

Cheap and on UK ebay. Mike, if you're not sure about them, nip roud to Triggers, he's got some on his GSXR I think. I've got some on the SRAD and can't fault them.

Im thinking about gettng my sock rearsets powder coated black and getting a couple of riser plates for them. Much cheaper than buying new ones. Got a couple of sprockets PC'd not long ago. They were dead helpful an charged me the minimum charge of £20. I'm sure it varys from place to place though.
