There was an amusing lever discussion going on on BWB, for those of you that missed it, check it out
that's funny, the XB section of badweb also has a thread about those levers....started by me!

I did buy those levers on November 29th, but the I ordered two sets. One gold set for a friend with a yellow X1, and then one blue set for my 9R. I emailed the guy before purchasing about combining the shipping, to save on costs. and then i emailed him again once i had purchased them saying what specific levers i needed with color and size. On top of that email i also included the same information in my pay pal information in the notes section like his directions instruct.
Well once the levers arrived they were both in one package like i asked. Yet he charged me twice for shipping, so for two sets of these $24 levers i got charged like $80 some dollars.
Upon opening the package i came to realize he messed up the order, and sent me two sets of gold shorty's for the X1. I emailed him about the problem, and he said he would correct it (as he should) and send me the blue pair as soon as possible. after a few days he sent me the tracking number for my replacement blue levers. I did not check the tracking number at first when he got it to me, and 2.5 weeks went by, so i decided i should check it....The post office's website said that the package had already arrived at my house...???... well apparently he sent me the tracking number of the first package of levers he sent me (the two gold pair). I emailed him back and asked why i would need a tracking number for the wrong package that i had already recieved....? He said something along the lines of "oh i didnt realize you wanted the tracking number for the blue pair"....
well once he sent me the correct tracking number for the blue pair I went and checked it. The USPS said they had no record of my shipment existing. I then emailed the seller again, and he gave me some BS on how its still in hong kong due to weather, and if i cant track it within the next three days to let him know. Of course it still didn't show up with the tracking number online over the next three days. So another email to the seller, and he said he would send out another pair. Well I got the tracking number for the (hopefully final) pair of levers and it said they were accepted at the post office in hong kong like 2 days ago (i haven't checked it since)
Overall i'm not impressed with the sellers business (i wont be dealing with him again)
My buddy did get the Gold shorties put on his X1, and they look good, and the quality doesn't seem to bad. I'll let you guys know once i get my blue ones (hopefully) how they fit on our XB's there is a guy in the BWB thread that bought the same levers as I did, and he said they fit up well on his ULY and that he didn't have to grind them down any like people do with the GSXR levers (hopefully he is right!!!
