We have been using ARC clutch perches and levers for a while and really like them, just wondering if anyone has compared the ARC to the WC perch? I hear the guys on pulp praising the WC perch a lot...
The Shop
Haven't had great experience with ARC brake levers (I always bent the support pieces), but the clutch fitting is awesome, no problems and I have used the same lever on 3 different brands already
They also use a bronze "plain" bearing, rather than a needle bearing. Needle bearings and ball bearings have no place in this application where they are working through a partial arc of rotation, dirty conditions and limited lubrication.
I run OEM levers and replace them when they get floppy. From a mechanical design perspective, the Arc stuff is far superior to anything else I've seen. (I am specifically talking about the clutch lever/perch assemblies here).
Thanks, for the replies. Were are getting him a new 450 soon, and I am planning the build. I think I am gonna stick with the ARC levers and perch!
