Hey guys these showed up yesterday. I haven't installed them as of yet , but seem to be an exact match to the shape and form of the stock brake and shifter levers. I'll keep you guys updated on how they fit exactly , but a side by side comparison , they seem to be spot on. Very well built as far as i can tell.

They were something like $83.00 + shipping. Think it was about $103.00 or something like that. They came from the UK.

Nocal...I bought these from a different seller on ebay in a two piece auction. I did not buy them from AG racing , and was actually warned from using them. They do have a 909.9% positive rating on Ebay , so I wouldn't worry about getting anything from them. They do have the combo set here >, http://www.ebay.com/itm/Apico-Black-Yellow-Rear-Brake-Gear-Pedal-Lever-…

You could buy both lever separately from different sellers on there as well. Seems most are all from the UK.

What he said^^ All coming out the same factory, it's all on Alibaba for anyone to buy and add your own logo on for $0.01 each item.

Don't mean to sound harsh here just saying you really get what you're paying for with this stuff, my buddy had them and the folding rear brake tip was so worn out after a few rides he took it off...

I had the same experience with the $220 rear brake lever and $90 shifter on my YZF (Hammerhead). A shifter tip will last about 5hrs riding and the brake lever bends at the sight of hard ground or a log, usually straight into the clutch cover.

You must be REALLY hard on your stuff then.
The Hammerhead billet shifter and Rear brake pedal have been on my KTM for 4 years (145 hrs) with ZERO issues.
I can't speak for their lower line forged stuff, but it appears to look like the other cheaper brands out there.

I dunno mate I'm just saying what I see, mine are from the so called billet lineup, they are not the forged. My stuff would have less than 50 hrs on them and to be Honest as if it matters stuff all how hard I am on them, if I'm paying $90 for a shifter I expect it to be top of the line, oem shifters are in the same price bracket or cheaper and they last 10+ years easy.
