Review on PACEWALKER Universal Motorcycle 7/8" 22Mm Handlebar Brake Master Cylinder Clutch Lever Left & Right Set For Honda Kawasaki Suzuki Yamaha Blue by John Graves

Thought I'd give these a go and see how good they are.I started with the clutch lever/cable which wasn't too bad for installation, and I was relatively happy with the results; feel and look were good. I wanted black levers instead of the long chrome OEM levers on my 09 sv650. So far so good. Yes, this did require some light modification to fit the clutch lever plug into the terminals (I trimmed them down slightly so I can plug it in).Now the fun part comes. Spent some time swapping over the brake lever/master cylinder and all that jazz. I bled my brakes for quite some time and noticed it was still fairly spongy. I've bled brakes before on cars, but not bikes, so I did some research and followed the spec per the manual. Again, still spongy but I was doing it for a while so I assumed that's how it should be. Well a few days of riding I couldn't bare the feeling of these spongy brakes and it was very unsafe too. You have to really press it down so far to engage. I tried bleeding it again and went for a ride that day. No better. Had a few buddies try out the bike and they told me how odd/bad the brakes felt. You can even see the piston very slowly retracting back up after you release the lever. Just terrible feeling and never felt so unconfident with my brakes.Long story short, I got home and swapped the brake cylinder back to the OEM one, and just swapped the black lever. Bled the brakes (same process) and immediately felt a difference. I actually had a firm point on the lever like it used to. Stops just as good as before. At least I was able to get some use out of these by using the clutch and the brake lever only. I would advise you DO NOT use this master cylinder unless you are asking for more work to take them back off later.TL;DR - brake master cylinder is garbage and sticky and spongy.levers are decent. Clutch side works good. Please use your OEM brake cylinder and just swap the lever itself.
