Anyone have these levers on their bikes? What are they like adjustment wise and are they easy fitting?

Also..does anyone know where I can buy gold anodised sprockets(rear) for the R1 ...Renthol or any other good make? and what is a 520 conversion?

don't worry about the 520 conversio on a R1 unless you ploanning on racing it....not worth the extra wear on chains and sprokets... CRG levers are adjustable beyond what you will need....they are the bee's knees....if you want gold sprokets why not just paint your standard ones...steel sprokets out last aluminium by far....

and Jaison [or jas] at motostyle is a alround good cunt...give him a ring about those CRG levers...and mention cowpoos told ya he'ld give you a extra good deal and he'll look after you...he knows his shit too

cheers for that..what is 520 conversion anyways..just asking cause that is what the motostyle guy asked if I want.
And do you powdercoat the sprockets or just any paint?

520 conversion relates to the size of the links on the chain...a 520 will have smaller sixzed links than a 530...the 520 will weight less...but the 530 will last longer because its stronger...

go to repco and find the paint ya want....clean ya sproket really good [brake cleaner or oven cleaner is good for heavy duty cleaning] and paint away...

Yes, I have them. Don't know why, couldn't give you a rational reason.
When I saw them I just got a grin on my face and thought, that's for me!
The levers ain't cheap but the adjusters worked fine on the very rare occasions I've used them .

There is now an Italian brand looks identical "Pazzo" (?) I think.

The CRG lever with the "wand" so that you can adjust the front brake lever with your left hand is used in some classes of racing in the USA, looks as trick as Hell but it must cost a bomb.
