Owl Outdoors Back Door Lever

[ForceV4]

Not too bad! @ColoradoMike - one upgrade at a time, right?!?! And, for those safety conscious people on the forum, we DID go out and crash test it just to be sure it was completely safe… (picture). It passed! - Mark

It's not an upgrade. It's just a lever. Works as well as the original. it is some fancy bling, though.

No offense, but in Canada, we're not allowed to leave comments like this.
Sorry.

I think it's an upgrade, the plastic handle felt like it was going to break off, particularly the hood release.

Tell us about those mounting screws that match the handle, I don't see those listed on the owl outdoor website.

Yeah - they’re on the web site under “Interior” (I think) - fairly inconspicuous. Just type in “screw” under the search bar.

18 months and 44000 km driving: none of the original handles broke until now. And yes I opened the hood, and very very often the back door.

It must be nice to live in a first world country where one not needs to worry about fragile bits breaking. Where I live, things that break can be the end of you.

I can testify that it lays down an additional 50hp to the wheels!

Damn I do love that look and especially for MM..
Even ordered it in red with the same red screw kit and the bonnet/hood item too but “checkout” ruined my order by adding $100US
Such a shame

Well you can get the coloured bolts in any colour, in titanium , at any bike shop.
That's a start

The handles are spiffy but those red aluminium bolts will strip if you look at them wrong.

Unless they are aircraft aluminium, thought aircraft steel bolts would be better.
Or local bicycle shop bolts
