Also think OEM are just fine.

If you want bling - get a jewel bonded to your tooth.

It has NOTHING to do with bling, and OEM may be "just fine", but "just fine" is not good enough for some of us. For some, a lever with a more comfortable fit and, more importantly, proper adjustability is worth the investment. If Buell had simply installed an adjustable clutch lever and a decently adjustable brake lever it would be fine. Calling them bling makes about as much sense as calling a Beson exhaust bling just because it looks good.

I adjust my oem levers in my arbor press.

One tweak is all it takes, I'd rather spend/waste the difference on beer and cigs.

To each his own. I don't smoke or drink, my Buells are my only vice. : )
