is it me or does that look like one good hit into a tree and you have f*cked your brake?

They may work well but they sure are UGLY

ya no kidding i agree with both of you guys, ugly and it looks it it will brake easily

leavers look weak but i think thats a sikk setup . look like a very well made brake

look shitty all around

Your totally all correct, it is a shitty brake as everyone has tried them out and has factual real world experience with them just by merely looking at a picture.
Those hard workers at Hayes should of made a new brake identical to avid, hope etc just to keep the fan boys visually happy.
Leavers are meant to be be laterally weak to protect the mc body on any brake system. Leaveres are also cheaper to replace than a master cylinder.
