ARC RC-8 Clutch Assembly With Aluminum Black Smooth Lever

I will admit that I am usually a stock perch/lever or a Works Connection Elite Perch/Lever kind of rider and although I have tried many different perch/lever set ups those are the two that I normally gravitate towards or back to. I have tested a lot of combos and have come to the conclusion that…
