Title: New Levers, What Color? Post by: mysticbluex3 on April 18, 2012, 05:57:11 PM So I dropped my bike the other day :( Forgot to put the kickstand down before attempting to get off the bike. This shows you even after riding for so many years, stuff like this can still happen. Anyways. The clutch lever and shifter is bent.

Besides that, there were no other damage. Count myself lucky. I took both the clutch lever and shifter off and bent it back. I've been thinking of some ebay levers. What color combo do you think I should get? I have a Red M696 (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v186/Hemansd/Bike/Ducati/IMG_2684.jpg) -Black levers, Red Dial -Gold levers, Red Dial - Red levers, Black Dial Title: Re: New Levers, What Color?

I know you said Ebay levers, but I couldn't help myself....I really want these!!! Title: Re: New Levers, What Color? Post by: Ak1nza on April 24, 2012, 06:39:33 PM CRG just released a new lever so you can find closeout prices on their older lever models. You can get a pair for $125 here:

But I got myself a pair of the CRGs cos I think the price is good. Title: Re: New Levers, What Color? Post by: Goat_Herder on April 25, 2012, 10:27:28 AM I'd go black/red dial. If you are concerned with the black fading to purple, go with titanium/silver with red dial.
Title: Re: New Levers, What Color? Post by: mysticbluex3 on May 10, 2012, 02:35:48 PM Ended up with cheap ebay levers.

They are easy enough to change out. Title: Re: New Levers, What Color? Post by: JohnEE on May 10, 2012, 03:14:53 PM ooOoo that sale is pretty good deal.....might just have to pick some up.
