I like both.  If you have any other carbon fiber-look stuff on the bike like mirrors, belly pan, tank protector, etc., or plan to, then I'd go for the ones in the first pic.  Otherwise, the gold looks cool.  Is there any other gold on the 'Busa for it to match to?  Like rotors or anything?

I went with chrome on mine for contrast.

I'd go for gold. although the others are snazzy aswell, but I'd imagine if you scrapped the first ones you would notice it a lot more than if you scraped the other ones.

Given his Busa is blue & silver, I think the gold ones would be out of place.

Mat Mladin uses black ones...  :stickpoke:

A friend has CRG levers on his CBR, and they looks very trick... but they're also $90 per....   :crybaby:

I have those carbon levers. work fine and look pretty nice. I would prefer gold ones, but I haven't found any gold metal parts that match the trim or headers on my bike. They all are too bright and yellowish and match the gold trim near the rotors, not for me.

If I had any complaints about the carbon levers is that the pattern is a little too large. the carbon checkers are somewhat larger than my hugger and tank pad, but its hardly noticable.

I recently put the blue anodized on my 05 1200s.  They seem to work fine.  BTW, if you did'nt already know, the ones on the Busa are the same, so it might expand your availability.  I think I paid $23, with shipping, but don't recall which company I got them from.  I'll check my receipt and get back to you.

Ok, checked, and it was luckybike on ebay.  22.95 with 6.95 for shipping, so both sides for just under $30.

I just put on Pazzo Racing "shorty" levers (http"//www.motomummy.com).  They're pricey, but I think they're nice.

I have gold Rentall bars that look pretty sweet.
