Well built but doesn't fit

Pair arrives quickly and looks well built. The anodizing color is consistent and the finish of the levers themselves feels precise. However, it does not fit my 2017 CBR 1000RR as described. The brake and clutch levers each have their own problems. The brake lever creates excessive braking resistance. Measurement or slot machining of the brake cylinder tappet is disabled. It doesn't provide enough clearance so the push rod pushes after the lever is fully adjusted, creates too much drag on the front brakes and I suspect it will overheat the front end if it continues to ride in this condition. Second, the clutch lever hits the derailleur body when fully depressed no matter what position (1-6) you are in. I haven't fully investigated whether the clutch is fully disengaged or not when it hits the body, but that's a big issue. - not for me. Good build quality nonetheless and it will probably work well on an older 1000RR model but not the current 2017 and later model.
