For a wholesale motorcycle brake lever quote, send the exact bike fitment, lever side, control details, requested finish, quantity, packaging needs and destination. A complete RFQ lets a supplier confirm compatibility before pricing.
What fitment details should a buyer send?
Start with the information that identifies the application. Include the motorcycle make, model, production year and any regional version. Add the OEM or reference part number when available, then state whether the lever is for the left or right side.
- Make, model and year
- Left-hand or right-hand application
- OEM, drawing or reference number
- Handlebar and control type
If a part number is unknown, attach clear photos and a dimensioned sketch. Fitment still needs supplier confirmation before a bulk order.
Which dimensions help prevent a mismatch?
Small interface differences can stop a lever from fitting. Ask your engineering or purchasing team to provide the pivot-bore diameter, pivot-center distance, overall lever length, mounting width and any clearance limits. Note the adjuster position or range if the design uses one.
For a replacement or private-label program, also specify the required tolerance, surface-contact points and whether a sample must be approved before production. These are request fields, not assumptions about a supplier’s standard specification.
How should material and finish be described?
Describe the target result rather than relying on a generic label. State the preferred base material, surface finish, color reference and logo or marking method. If the lever must meet a drawing or test requirement, attach that document and identify the acceptance criteria.
- Base material requested
- Finish and color reference
- Logo, engraving or other marking
- Drawing, sample or inspection requirement
The supplier should confirm the feasible process, final dimensions and any finish limitations in the quotation.
What quantity and packaging information belongs in the RFQ?
Separate the sample request from the expected production quantity. Give an initial order quantity, forecast range and desired packing format. For branded programs, provide artwork, carton marks, barcode rules and whether each lever needs an individual bag or insert.
Include the destination country and city, preferred trade term if known, and any shipping or labeling constraints. This prevents a quote from being based on an incomplete delivery assumption.
How can a buyer structure a brake-lever RFQ?
- Identify the exact motorcycle application and lever side.
- Attach photos, drawings or reference numbers.
- List dimensions, material, finish and marking needs.
- Separate sample, trial and bulk quantities.
- Describe packaging, destination and timing expectations.
Use the Vobom motorcycle parts category as the starting point for your request. Buyers comparing adjacent components can also review the motorcycle rearset RFQ checklist for a similar specification workflow.
What should happen before a wholesale order?
Request a written confirmation of fitment, drawing revision, finish, quantity and packing before approving production. Keep the approved sample or specification sheet with the purchase record so later batches can be checked against the same reference.

Evidence boundary: this guide explains the information needed for a B2B RFQ. It does not state fixed prices, stock, minimum order quantities, certifications or delivery times. Those details require a project-specific supplier confirmation.
