Id go for the MotoDynamics one, it flashes. :D

That's the one I have, except it's the first generation, so it doesn't do the extra flashing when applying the brakes, and the improved turn signal flash. But it's still super nice.

He Man;

I'm fixing a similarly bent rear brake lever on my wife's 696.  I'd love to bend it back , but last time I tried this with the gear shift lever it snapped off.  Any suggestions how to do it safely?

Also, if you remove the footrest brackets to replace the brake lever, when you re-install the R footrest bracket, the manual indicates:

"Fix the footrest brackets 8 and (15) to the swingarm with the screws (3), suitably lubricated, with the washers (17), and to the engine with screws (11) and (18). Tighten the screws (3), (11) and (18) to the specified torque (Sect. C 3, Frame torque settings) in the sequence indicated"



Does this mean that the threads of screw 3 (which holds the bracket to the swing arm) should be lubricated with grease B (Molybdenum disulphide grease, high mechanical stress and high temperature resistant) prior to torquing the screw (to get the torque correct)?

Also, does the "sequence indicated" refer to the 1, 2, 3 in the square boxes?

Thanks in advance for the help
