How come I can't get any help on this? I wish I knew a way of posting the pics to make it easier for people to comment and vote. Anyone have an answer?

I like the look of the Battistinis over the PM ones you posted.
I'd want to see them both in person before dropping that much coin on either though.

not wanting to throw a bug in the soup, have you looked at the arlen ness forward controls? the reason I favor these is they are the only ones that I know of that hide the push rod to the brake cylinder. all other controls have the rod exposed. that always bothers me. I think it should look like one smooth component. that said I prefer the PM over the other, not a fan of all those holes
