Well, I can recommend three different ones. Two of which I actually own
and use. The last one, I've only checked out on some else's rig, not
riding.
Razor Rock: Excellent machine work and very purdy. Extremely stiff with a
very wide profile. Works best, IMO, for dudes with larger hands/fingers.
Razor Rock sold their design to another company
<http://www.dabombusa.com/> Go to "Products" and then "Others" I bought
mine when Razor Rock was still around, so I can't tell you anything about
the new company.
Dangerboy <http://dangerboyusa.com/levers.php> : Excellent machine work.
Smaller profile than RR levers. Very nice feel. I actually like my
DangerBoy's more than my RRs, but this could be due to my small hands.
Great customer service from DB. I bought mine direct, and they shipped
within 48 hrs of ordering, which was nice. I really like them a lot
GRC <http://www.grcomponents.com/levers.htm> : Again, excellent machine
work and smaller profile than the RRs. Great little hook on the end of
their levers if you're in need of that kind of thing. The GRCs felt very,
very good. If I actually had some riding time with them, they might
overtake my DBs. But I'd be happy with either. No direct experience with
GRC, but I've heard they have exceptional customer service. Their levers
can be purchased thru
http://www.balleracing.com/GRC_Levers.htm or direct.
Erik is a good guy and fellow rider... I've done business with him a
couple times and plan on doing more.
Dang, I could almost start my own ragzine... I could call it SlackRag and
sell it for $5.99 usd/$10.99 cad
