Consumer Description

while traveling at 55mph and just exiting a corner my front brake without any warning and instantly locked up sending me and my bike to the highway in A Skid. there is a known problem with using aftermarket levers after the recalled master cylinder has been changed.this problem poses a serious risk to many if not addressed and remedied. there was a police report that does not reflect what actually happened at all. I did over the winter service my bike adding new levers. related info can be obtained online.
