They look very nice.
A nice enhancement.
Pretty neat, the additional adjustment options.
Pity, they don't seem to fit my xciting 500.

They do list them on their web site http://www.dmv.com.tw/html/front/bin/ptdetail.phtml?Part=DI-CLEL3-LDI-CLER3-L&Category=371129 not sure why they wouldn't be the same as they fit other Xciting models. Here's the place I got mine from and they show stuff for the 500. Go here http://www.aliexpress.com and search for Kymco Xciting 500. The seller was Taiwan Motor Power. They have other cool stuff like the Dr Pulley HP clutch.

 I bought them for a couple of reasons. The stock levers do not adjust as close as my Burgman 650 (has only 4 settings vs 6), the MyRoad requires a fair amount more hand pressure (these are supposed to reduce effort by 30%) for stopping than my Burgman, and they just look damn cool.

Hard to find a quality set for scooters.
I found these and ordered a set for my Forza last year from Japan. Very nice quality (came in deluxe boxes). 15 mins to fit.
They went with the Forza when I sold it - but these levers helped to sell it! New owner loved them!
Not cheap - but wish I could find some for my Burgman 400. Can mix and match parts colors and lever length.

Nice. Did you notice a reduced effort using them vs stock?

No, never paid attention to the lever pull required....the Forza always needed only a light touch anyway...but there might be something to that claim with this shape - which all adjustables share.
I just wanted to be able to set them to my desired distance from the grip - as found on high end bikes.
I see that  your company does make a set for the Burgman 400 - but are exactly the same "extendable" ones I found from webike, but at 3X the price I paid. Mine are very good quality - but I didn't want the extendable levers, or foldable (I don't plan on dropping a bike). I want the long lever, adjustable, like I had on my Forza -- but no one makes them for the Burgman 400.
Crazy...the Burgman has been around for years - and no one makes the adjustable levers like I want!

The catalog and site are a bit confusing and don't actually show the combo I got but basically you can get them with any of the three different levers, standard like mine (type 1), bi-folding (type 2), and bi-folding/extendable (type 3). Looking in the Suzuki catalog I see the 400 levers aren't adjustable, interesting.
