I recently purchased a brake and clutch lever set from an ebay vendor.
The product was listed as being for Yamaha VMAX 1200.
The product was cheap (didn't expect much) but I did expect it to fit.
I contacted the vendor several times to confirm that they were for the Yamaha vmx1200 motorcycle produced from 1985 to 2007. They stated that they had checked with their supplier and the supplier assured them they would fit.
So I purchased them.
They both arrived in the same package but the vendor double charged me for freight :damn angry: and sure enough THEY DO NOT FIT :bang head:
Contacted the vendor and advised they don't fit. Here is the vendors reply;

These levers are designed to fit UK models, we have sold several sets of these without any problems, your Australia model bike may be the issue.
Please return them with a covering letter for refund.
Well that's interesting because my bike is a CANADIAN IMPORT. To claim a refund I have to pay out for freight that is more than the product is worth (and the vendor refuses to refund freight costs) :bang head:
PAYPAL refused to reverse the transaction because the vendor told them "These levers are designed to fit UK models, we have sold several sets of these without any problems, your Australia model bike may be the issue.
Please return them with a covering letter for refund."
Avoid this ebay vendor R&C LTD T/A Motorcycle Recycle (who is still falsley advertising this product as suited to for the Yamaha VMAX1200).
