Requires work Levers and parts

I don't like that this lever needs to be disassembled and painted because the company uses poor quality paints. I didn't install the control lever and there is bare metal everywhere. Be prepared to put in some extra work.

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • Modern

They fitted perfectly and improved the situation on my front.

Perfect fit and improved my front end situation. Cost about what my shop was willing to charge for just the ball joint and it was easier for them to install.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks

The brake line adapter that you put on the ball joint is in the wrong place.

Bracket looks and fits well. The brake hose holder on the side of the lever is to the right of the brake hose holder. The one on the ball joint doesn't work. You can go, no problem. You should make it so that you can take it off when you don't need it.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Zero

Take a good look at those frame bolts!

Very satisfied with packaging and quality. Such a time saver compared to bushing press-fitting, the elimination of a stuck driveshaft, not to mention the rust and cosmetics of the lever. Carefully inspect the top link bolts pressed into the frame - make sure they aren't badly rusted or loose under the washers! If this is the case, they can be knocked out of the frame with a hammer and heated and replaced with an appropriate screw. Disconnecting the upper ball joint from the axle is fairly easyโ€ฆ

Pros
  • practical item
Cons
  • so far so good
