    Have been sniffing around for a nice looking Brake lever guard.. and have probably found the best "looking" one on the Rizoma website. Small bar end coupled with an adjustable alloy lever.. I'm thinking £50 tops.. ohhh no, how does 300 Euro's grab ya FFS!

    Got a few Rizoma parts on my bike.
    Expensive yes, but the quality is unreal. Being an engineer I appreciate the work they put into their stuff.

    Have U tried removing and refitting those Alloysport Guards from your Clip Ons LC?


    I've found that the type of internal 'interference' fixing used by those guards can be a Twat to loosen off and remove as the expansion bit does not slacken off when undone??

    After seeing what happened to Vinalles Brake guards today mate...I wouldn't bother!
    Clue: they didn't work or last long

    The trick is to leave a small gap between guard and end of tube so you loosen the bolt then give it a tap in and all should come loose
