Just installed some after market foot levers for both brake and gear change.
gear side was easy and I am no mechanic.
brake side was a whole different storey.
getting the OEM lever off was Ok, however the cylindrical part of the OEM lever was 1.5 mm longer than the aftermarket part.
this may not seem much but when you put the spring around the cylinder and compress the spring as you need to to fit it, the spring slides off the end of the Cylinder and then is crushed between the frame and the lever - this stops you installing the lever properly.
4 hours and a lot of swearing later I have managed to get them on and am pleased with the result.
