Got theses levers in the mail yesterday. They are on eBay for $29 and im really surprised at how good the look and feel of these are. Im taking them to the dealership to be put on for me because i just moved and dont have any tools at my house but ill be sure to post pics as soon as their on the bike

So after having them on for a day i dont know how i feel about these levers, their very wiggly. I tried tightening all the bolts thinking that must be the problem but this eliminated the adjustable function. So i re-loosend the bolts and it seems im going to have to deal with them wiggling, it isnt major and i dont notice while im riding but i just feel like it shouldnt be that way, is this normal on adjustable levers?

That looks really good. I'd get the same grips if it weren't for my bar end mirrors

if theres a gap between bolt and hole
measure hole, get another bolt to match..
or take lever/hole to bolt supplier and test,
or, press [any] sleeve between them,
grease and test for 'wiggles'..

there are tolerances in manufactured goods
which may sometimes add up to gaps etc,
so always expect to have to make adjustments
esp when the product is relatively cheap..
the cheaper it is the less likely will be
quality control and inspection/testing..

great when everything fits perfectly of course,
but this is the real world view/expectation..
think of it as making an improvement :)

I'm in for cheap!

I am in for cheap! There really is no other choice out there! The more expensive adjustable_levers.com website sell the same crap. I ordered a set for myself yesterday. So cheap! OK. I'll put on the brake levers first, and see how that goes. That should be easy!

At least this ebay site -- the2wheels.com -- offers returns and replacement parts. They seem reputable, which is important.

I'm not too worried about bolt fit! I am a bit worried about issues with length of clutch cable not being long enough! Can anyone provide a user-friendly video on how to redo a clutch cable?

Of course, coming from Asia to US might take a few weeks!

Like my $29 CNC cbr600rr footpegs I bought that drooped downwards.
someone on this site said they fit.
I never used them, and as they are the folding type they are worthless.
