Can't use an ARC clutch lever with a Works Connection perch. I learned that the expensive way.

I have the composites and my only complaint is that under hard braking, there is a little flex at the lever. Given the chance to have a do over, I'd go with the alum, but it doesn't bug me enough to buy a new set.

I had a composite brake lever that broke, they sent me an aluminum one as a replacement.

I have the full clutch setup also. Wont run anything else.

ARC is the only way to go. The owner Bob Barnett has great customer service. I have used them only since they came out. Have the composite.

Any reason to have the composite over the aluminum? I think I am confused as to why they have an option. Great to know about the customer service. Makes my decision easier.

I have a one for my current build of an FC450 but haven't used it yet. Their stuff, ARC, is absolutely top notch!
