scott grips are good quality,feel right and quite tough.

not sure about brake levers (binned mine for asv's) but you can get teflon collar's for your brake/clutch bracket holders,saves breaking levers

On a serious note, the ASV brake lever won't operate the breaking light IIRC. I was asking about them, you have to mess around with them.

The ASV clutch lever is all good though.

Depends. How good is your modding? You'll be alright if you can improvise a little.

the brake lever won't operate the rear brake light (could drill,tap a thread and insert a cut-off bolt to do the job)

had to take a grinder to the perch too,the asv's are a bit fatter....

amazed they don't make them for road legal stuff yet confuse

its a brake light switch that works from the banjo bolt.

so you can use any levers that fit or swap out the master cylinder for say a yz one that take better levers and still have a light switch


im not sure the thread on the dt banjo but its ones of these

with a rs master you can use the rs switch thats no problem.

with like yz masters and cr masters they have no space for a switch so a banjo switch works best and when you put different levers on sometimes it doesn't work with the dt switch

 It just works off pressure like a oil pressure switch on a car, rather than a physical switch that you press
