Ian, those Gold fingers are single finger pull levers......if it's got to be gold then go for the Dirty Harry (i think you can get em in gold) as they're a 2 finger pull lever.

failing that if you stick with black then the worlds your ouster mate  :daumenhoch:

they are also designed to be fitted on the bend of the bars which is why the lever is bent outwards  :daumenhoch:
