    Just rang and ordered these from Ness this morning for my Rocker.
    Tried a search to find a review but the site search is not working properly and google came up with fuck all.

    I'll post a review once i've used them, but hoping anyone who has the shifter and brake can tell me something about them.

    Incredible service from these guys Arlen Ness. I ordered on Friday morning the order is currently at my local post office and out for delivery today or tomorrow. Can't get stuff from Sydney or Melbourne that quick usually. Shipped via USPS at my request.
    Looking forward to seeing it and hoping it all fits.

    Very happy with the service and the product is pretty nice.
    The shifter and brake assy's feel solid, the shifter rod feels a little light, but not to the extent of the plasticy pot metal that kuryakyn uses.

    Fitment took an hour or so, i'm not real mechanical so others may be faster. Shifter rod came with instructions which is good.

    I found the brake assy to fit well, but there is no adjustment on the lever position (factory is the same) and between reaching around the air cleaner and the soggy back brake it's really next to useless as a brake.
    Looks pretty though.

    Now the brake cylinder and dodgy black boot are giving me the shits.
    And if i'm going to bling it up i may as well address the rear brake performance issues at the same time. I have a feeling that will not be cheap.

    Driving round town yesterday i really like the new pedals. The shifter is positive and easy to use in thongs, haven't tried it in boots yet. The brake pedal is a little easier to reach than the stock one with the air cleaner in the way of my short legs. Still needs a double jointed ankle, but not as much as it's longer.
