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.
Cheers Ben

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

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
