With Pro Taper out of stock, and I assume out of business, everywhere, what do you guys recommend for non folding clutch perches? I don't really like the way folding levers feel and I'm not too excited to spend $180 on the WC perch assembly. I see some perches for Zeta but can't find too much on them.
I had the same dilemma, went with WC and have been really happy with it. I do think the WC system is worth the additional cost, the construction is really good, the feel is great, and no sign of any wear issues after 25-30 hours.
Thank you.
So I guess the WC is the only decent option out there?
I’ve never tried it but everyone seems to love them. Pulpmx has a discount code for 20% off
The WC perch is as good as they come, machining and quality is top notch especially in the realm of dirt bike parts. Bud Racing makes one that is fairly priced too, I’ve been impressed with my purchases I’ve made from there.

I agree the folding levers are crap.
I love the old PC setup but was too hard to find ($$$) so Im running ARC now.
I have used ARC levers and clutch perch's since ... a long time ago.. Love them, not sure what the feeling is, that is so bad. If you have that kind of touch, good for you. The RC-8 has been fine on a number of my bikes. I had the pivoting perch for years an a CRF 450, never gave me an issue.
Wc is the best for sure. Best feel with the Honda lever too. If you're trying to go cheap, buy the tusk quick adjust that looks like the WC. Put one on my daughters 65 and its damn near identical to my wc one. Cheap as hell too.
Always liked the little bit of extra quality they put into their perch with the safety wire tie. It’s the little things 👌🏻
the arc levers and perches get a shit ton of play around 40-60 hours. Go with the Works Connection clutch and you will probably never have a bike without one moving forward. They really are nice. I'm just cranky because i've gone through 2 sets of Arc levers because they get so much freeplay and make the bike feel roached.
So I bought the WC clutch lever aND peach. For the mmoney I am not impressed, the pull on my Pro Taper (RIP) felt better. It seems like it is built well, but nothing that would be worth the increase in price ove the old PT, which lasted 4 years and two bikes. If something happens to the WC my next buy will be the BUD Racing.
You have to service the controls too. I dont have any hard time on my ARC levers but they were used when I bought them over 3 years ago.
Yes, and they dont look or feel like rebranded Chinesium.
