Podium Racing Parts - Levers
Anyone purchase a set of these yet? They're suppose to have adjustable Ratio, Reach and Length. I'm interested to know about the Ratio and Reach adjustments.
How well do they fit? How do you like them? Easy to install?
Thanks.

From what I've read elsewhere, the bend in the middle makes contact with the grip before the end of the lever does, limiting the lever travel somewhat.

There are a couple of different models. I have the EVO II, it only has reach adjustment. The EVO III has the further adjustments that were mentioned. I had the dealer install my levers when my bike was in for the latest fuel clamp recall. No problem with lever travel, the end hits first at full pull. Hope this helps.

I have them, and am the Australian /NZ distributor for them... they are made by an Italian company called Performance Technology, and there are Evo I / Evo II & Evo III levers in the range.. the Evo III have an adjustable fulcrum, which changes the amount of pressure applied.. almost like an adjustable Master cylinder.. they are used by Xavier Simeon in World Superstock, and from memory also Laverty & Crutchlow in WSS.. as well as a number of other racers and European champions.. they are very well made and have a nice feel to them..

You too Oz, thanks.
Did you install them yourself? Was it straight forward to install? Did you have to futz around with the the MC push-rod or the boot in order to install them?
Would it be possible to send me a copy of the literature (installation instructions) that cames with them?
Much appreciated....I'm eyeballing the III's.

Hi Smeegle, will have to check and see what's in them, i have changed levers many times.. they are not like the CRG's where you have to mess around with the pin... they are a simple and straightforward change over...as for getting the pushrod into the rubber boot, i use a pair of circlip pliers, just to open the hole up in the rubber boot, push the pin in and away you go..
