I installed new levers and mirrors this week. Today was the first opportunity to get some pics. Both installs are very straightforward. It took about 10 minutes per side to do the mirror and lever. I really like both better than the stock components. The RSD mirrors look better and are more functional than the stock units. The new levers really don't provide an operational upgrade, but I do think they look better. 20250315_132943.jpg20250315_132915.jpg
 
I have the same setup for my FE Model B; however, I haven't installed the RSD Levers yet, as I'm still on the fence about the Black Colored Levers in contrast with the FE Chrome accents.

I did swap the stock levers on the FE Project bike and find myself contemplating the same above mentioned dilemma... First World Problems...

Early RSD Levers used to be offered in the machined Black color and a Polished chrome color; however, I can't seem to find them in the polished chrome finish..

If you're not sold on the look, I don't think you'll find any benefit in function. If anything, the RSD levers are more of a hassle to adjust than the stock units. That said, I did the initial adjustment and will likely never have to do another unless something changes in the master cylinder.
