[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1326425, member: 3828"] This was (partly) why I chose the silver colored levers. I guess if the base part started to lighten it wouldn't bother me all that much. Most of the year (but not right now during our short New England summer) I have butt ugly, but highly functional Vstrom hand guards over the levers anyway, so you don't even see them much, plus I tend to park my bike indoors except when my butt is in the seat. And here's what my silver w/ red adjusters look like: [IMG]https://i916.photobucket.com/albums/ad4/FJWinNH/2014%20FJR1300%20ES/001.jpg[/IMG] These ones for the FJR (from the eBay link earlier in this thread) have much less of the wiggle than the ones I got for my 'Strom previously. The small amount of wiggle in these didn't bother me enough to even bother shimming them like I did the 'Strom levers. Note that, in both cases, all of the wiggle is between the outer and inner part of the lever in the pivot for the adjuster mechanism, not in the main lever pivot at the perch. I could [B][I]never [/I][/B]see myself spending that much money for a set of fancy hand levers. The price of those things is obscene. I mean, I like the looks and feel of these cheap-o levers OK, but if my sensibilities wouldn't allow the knock-offs I'd just go back to the stock ones (that worked just fine) before shelling out the Benjamins for that kind of bling.
