Looking for machined red brake handle replacements

Anyone have any replacements? Anywhere to get some? They don't have to be adjustable but the stock ones are just very plain.

Links are appreciated.

Check out the Bikers site and you should be able to find something.

Thanks. I used the wrong term in my search. When I searched for pcx brake "levers" I found them all over the place. Most seem to come from your neck of the woods. I ordered a set off of EBay for $34 US free shipping but it could take 3-4 weeks to get here.

Is that the stock seat on your bike?

No, it is custom made in Thailand where I am living.

I purchased adjustable brake levers for my wife's pcx and for mine, each set a different color. I found them on amazon.com. It took me a whole 5 minutes to install them.

Are they thicker/more comfortable than the originals, or it's mostly for adjustability and looks? ;)

I got them primarily for how they look, but I also like the adjustable feature. It is not that I didn't like the OEM ones, I just like these better. My PCX is more of a toy than a means of transportation, so I don't worry too much about how practical something is or how much it costs. Generally, if I like it, I get it.

I have never had adjustable levers, and it must be nice! Today, with so many options to customize a scooter, one can make it the way he/she wants it! ;)

I bought them for ours for adjustability reasons. My wife has short fingers and was having a problem reaching the brakes. Now, with the adjustable ones, she can set them to the most comfortable position for her, and if we swap bikes I can change them for my comfort. Great addition to the bikes....and they look nice too. :-)

I have a set of the red anodized adjustable ones coming from Amazon. I thought the stock alloy ones look a bit tacky. (so do the rear foot rests but save that for the next one). Great to hear you like them.

Oops ordered them from EBay but the same ones from same seller are on Amazon.

Will do. I just added a inexpensive stainless cup holder and only use it for the longer adventures. The cup comes off with one nut so it is mainly off. It worked very well for the red covered bridge trip I did on Sunday. Plenty of leg clearance and I really stopped noticing it was there very quickly.

These are the grips that are coming. I am eyeing those rear foot rests too. My wife is giving me a hard time.

Lots of options to customize these scooters! This is one of the advantages of it being a "best seller"!! :D :D :D :D

Did you get them installed yet? Takes all of 5 minutes.

Installation was nice. Had to take a deer looking ride first before dark. They sure look better than the cast aluminum ones like the rear rests. The seat is the last thing left when it arrives.
