Ian, those Gold fingers are single finger pull levers......if it's got to be gold then go for the Dirty Harry (i think you can get em in gold) as they're a 2 finger pull lever.

failing that if you stick with black then the worlds your ouster mate

they are also designed to be fitted on the bend of the bars which is why the lever is bent outwards
