WARNING about Ebay levers for Yamaha Roadstar

[Luky]

Beware of several companies selling clutch
brake levers that say they fit 1" handlebars. But they say 25mm!!

They will lie by not telling you in some cases. Some say "fits" 25mm,

But 1" handlebars are 25.4mm.

Some black colored ons being sold also,
Here is the reality:


OK I warned you all, and I have told Ebay several times.
eBay just does not listen.

Ebay and the vendor give zero fucks about anything but negative feedback, so I leave negative feedback after I get positive feedback for paying for my stuff to avoid feedback revenge.

Aftermarket shit car, bike and others parts coerced me to buy a mill and a lathe. That cost what another bike might but bikes don't make parts and machine tools don't depreciate plus they're insanely fun and handy.

That doesn't work anymore....... All feedback on ebay is a joke..... When they stopped letting sellers give a negative for a shitty buyer that's when I stopped giving feedback at all.....

It’s a shit system. Sellers most the time won’t leave feedback until the buyer does.... as a buyer if feedback isn’t left after I pay for an item I don’t leave feedback.

To me it doesn't matter when the buyer leaves feed back anymore because the seller can't leave appropriate feedback.... Good or bad..... When it has to be positive it's a waste of time for the seller....

When I buy something on ebay I could care less if I get feedback..... To me feedback is a joke and has been for years........

Well that's the way I look at it.... Now if the buyer has less than 100 feedbacks I will leave them feedback....

Thank you for posting this Luky! I bought a brake master cylinder setup and it said fits Harley Davidson 1" bars in the title, but then he had Japanese bikes listed in the description as well as Harleys. No big deal for me to bore it out and make it fit, but I know some people may not want to take on a task like that. Buyers beware!

Why would Ted's sell brake levers for rice? OTOH the Ebay seller who doesn't give a shit could source random junk off Alibaba for resale and pretend they fit anything.

Where tubular bars are concerned if I wanted aftermarket controls for a Jap chopper that chopper would get 1" diameter bars for HD compatibility. Solve the bar problem then present and future control issues are taken care of. All chopper bars should be either 7/8" or 1" OD for easy fitment of accessories. Other diameters cripple ones choices.

The chinese part is the problem.
The Yamaha parts fit 1" bars.

Chinese part I bought. Above. //////////////// Stock Yamaha part DOES fit. R/h photo.

On Google there is a problem.
Looking up 1" = mm you get 25.4mm
Looking up 25mm= inches you get .98----inches!

Big problem.
