Those just look like some strange black caps of some sort jammed onto Universal brake adjusters. (so much for "original") I recall seeing that Robbie has had success now repro-ing the proper Universal (Corsa, mod 61, 68) brake adjuster black booties. Drop him a note if you need some.

While I am sure BOB already knows what they look like, this link shows what the proper booties look like. They were NOS when I put 'em on last year. It's a high-res snap of a bona-fide correct '68 bike (my white Pog), so blow it up if your browser "shrinks" it to fit screen

This is now the third time I have seen the brake lever adjuster boots. Anyone know what they really are?                                                           BOB FREITAS                               gray skies in MILL VALLEY, CA  USA
