Does anyone see a design flaw in this product?

corksil · January 14th, 2015, 05:41 PM

I was looking for some clutch parts on ebay and came across this.

The seller lists at the bottom "Thank you From China & Good Luck!"

Is this a joke?

The only thing more odd than the part itself is the fact that there are 14 people watching the auction/sale.... Am I missing something?

It's not a joke... welcome to china after market parts. It's legit though.

ninjamunky85 · January 14th, 2015, 05:54 PM

Those have been for sale for years now. Seems perfectly safe to me.

alex.s · January 14th, 2015, 06:15 PM

....bahahaha! nice.

corksil · January 14th, 2015, 06:23 PM

seriously... wtf.

amputated fingers? no one has ever crashed a bike and had the level smash their knuckly tightly onto the grip? I guess this lever set would be a solution to the "bashed knuckle" problem but it would only create the "missing fingertip" problem.

JohnnyBravo · January 14th, 2015, 06:33 PM

I don't see any reason to have blades attached to my bike.

I can already visualize the Avenged Sevenfold posters in the owner of that bike's room.

Motorcycles ARE a design flaw. They have two wheels and are highly dangerous. They forgot two wheels.

it doesn't mean the rider has to cut his fingers off at the first stumble.

Hero Danny · January 15th, 2015, 12:31 PM

To be fair, I doubt these things are really all that sharp. Still a pretty stupid design imo.

crimsondragon · January 15th, 2015, 01:54 PM

Looks pointy as hell though. Don't clip anyone. They might file battery charges.

bdavison · January 16th, 2015, 06:31 PM

There's a reason clutch levers have a ball on the end...its so the lever doesn't impale your wrist or ankle when you dump it.

Spiked levers, barends, and pegs are worse than flipflops.

fishdip · January 16th, 2015, 07:47 PM

They have a lot of material on the blade side so it be hard to cut your finger off. Now with that they are not DOT approved and say on most packaging for show use only.

FreelancerMG · January 16th, 2015, 10:24 PM

I've seen a few of these up close on neighboring bikes in the motorcycle parking lot and while they aren't sharpened, they do come to a wedge that with enough force, say a motorcycle accident, could very easily separate digits or anything else that is unlucky enough to get caught in the guillotine. And those tips are pretty prominent. Not knife sharp but they can easily go through soft flesh with enough force or do a number on another vehicle if you screw up splitting lanes.
