Suitable for fz-09 2017! Upset! (Slight modification required)

This is the first install/review first ride after purchasing and installing these levers on my 2017 fz-09. Installation was quick, very easy. It took probably 20 minutes for everything.So far I'm very happy with this purchase. Good product. Excellent price. Follow the instructions in the videos on other websites for the correct installation procedures as no instructions are included with this product. Personal note: Take a 5/16 spanner and a 3mm hex and tighten the nuts and bolts on the levers so they don't rattle from the vibrations. 4/13/2017: I installed them yesterday on my 2017 fz-09 and while they fit well, look good etc, I noticed something while driving today that was a bit wary. At a traffic light, I checked how my brake lights were working with the new levers and noticed that the brake light switch wasn't activating in the same position that I felt the brakes were putting pressure on the brake discs. This basically means that when I stopped, my brake lights didn't come on. SOLUTION: If you are comfortable, there is a simple solution. Use a small pencil to mark where the brake light switch touches the brake lever; Then remove the lever from the bike and use a titanium drill bit to make a very small notch in the part of the lever that contacts the brake light switch. DO NOT REMOVE TOO MUCH FROM LEVER. THIS MAKES THE BRAKE LIGHT ALWAYS TURNED ON. It is better to gradually remove the metal with a drill until you can press the brake light switch / see the brake light come on, then you can also feel the brake pressure on the brake disc.

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Everything is fine
