Tech 6 all the way dude  :daumenhoch:

If you ever want to swap them out, no taking the grips off and ACS lockers are rare and top dollar when they do come up  :crazy2:

Don't think they are re released but there are still alot of NOS ones kicking about.  But you never know if porkchop has had them redone if so they will be in a diatech packing

I have seen them in Silver, Chrome, White, Pink, White, Black, Green and then in two tones

As with all companies looking to make a quickie on this hobby, they were re-issued. They have Taiwan stamped in the lever bodies and no date code. The originals of course have a date stamp in the bodies along with the word JAPAN. 

I have seen a rare anno'd blue set of Tech 6 for around $98.

Tech 4 ACS locking levers. Go for around $120 upwards and come up around 3-4 times a year, if your lucky.

AKgof has them on his woody. Sweet ass levers. A set for sale on the museum at the moment.
