Just bought new brake lever (Don't ask!) Apparantly it has more than doubled in price since October, then they were just under £11 now they are £25. Are any other dealers putting their prices up like that, or is just the dreaded Norfolk area dealer? :cry: :cry: We were told some things are now cheaper but without checking their whole price list we can't tell what has gone up or down.

its the principle, bought 2 levers last march from moto-rapido (got bike with both broken ) a tad under 11 quid each, bought another one cos i dropped it in october, again 11 quid from seasick in norfolk, but now they want 25 for the same product, all genuine brembo levers. i know prices go up, but double in 4 months ?????? :twak: :twak:


note to self: dont keep dropping it, it costs money eack time

haven't had to buy levers recently, but Brembo are putting their prices up for disks as they're relocating production back to itly. Mayb it's just brembo, not Ducati across the board?

At least it's an incentive to try to keep upright! Perhaps the levers have gone up because we drop our bikes more one way or another, having seen the lean angle at the track days on peoples avatars and posts etc it wouldn't surprise me! The bars are pretty much scraping the ground, may be one day it could be me!

Is it actually the same lever? The £11 one would be non adjustable, would the £25 one have adjustable span for instance?

Incidently, I recently bought a late style pair of adjustable span levers from MPL Germany, really good quality, £30 the pair delivered.
