Front Brake Lever Replacement

I had an unfortunate little accident this week that resulted in the front brake lever snapping |

. I looked at the BMW replacement part, and they want £89, which is a damn silly price for a simple part. Alternatives are available on eBay starting at around £25 for both the brake and clutch levers. Has anyone tried any of these and found them to be OK or are they cheap junk that should be avoided?

Zitat von SteveTea im Beitrag #1 it varies, the 'bottom-dollar' ones will be junk, the reputable aftermarket ones will be around or slightly below the OEM. speaking from experience with my last bike not the RS you could see if there are any sold used from wrecked bikes (without damage), the levers could be shared between the R1250 models

You could try a breakers but I would go with the original part, even if it is a bit pricey. |

Motoworks do not have any used ones but you can raise a query as they might have stock coming in

I would still stick with the original item where the fitting is guaranteed and unlikely to have any issues with micro-switch contact as seen in some other threads. |
