Are they made for ZXR400's or were they designed for another bike and just have the same hole centers? cant see any listed for a 400.

read you were doing NG this year so will probably see you at brands next weekend.

Ben, i think the ses ones are really good.
they dont look fancy, but are really strong. Ive smacked mine on both sides five or six times over the last 2 years, and they still look newish and dont have any sideways play

I've got the SES ones and they seem fine.

I suspect that because of the little bearings a bump/crash on a brake lever/gear change lever can end up a bit stiff to use even if it is only slightly bent.

But aside from that theyrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee great

cheers everyone, looks like ses have the vote. Love the look of Simmos Promach ones but way too expensive for me.
Simmo I've not been to Brands before either so have booked the test day before, should be fun :excited

Ok Cargo you talked me into it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2El4oATRuE0 NG test weekend at Pembrey, not as quick or as impressive as Ballsout's Brands vid. Have a look at this one Simmo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Gi6a4y6_X0 It's the one I'm watching.
Is Leon doing the 400 race at Brands or just the 600?

Ha ha, cheers guys. Hope it helps you :smt001

If it's of any help, dependng on your gearing/revs, you can go down into second for Druids, and drop to third for Clearways, you can see where the revs drop quite low on those two corners, I found for me that it upset the bike a bit and I try to be smooth, when I tried third and fourth respectively, it didn't slow my lap times but allowed me to get into the corners better with a bit more confidence and speed.

Good luck.

Oh, and Another vote for SES :smt001
