I decided to get some folding ARC levers.  Looking at the website, BR-204 & CL-204 supposedly fit 1997-2019, BR-205 & CL-205 supposedly fit 2005-2019, and BR-206 & CL-206 supposedly fit 2015-2019.

Three different part numbers all fit the 2019 model?  That made my spider sense tingle as I suspect the website info was no good.  So I called, and the guy who answered the phone said the 206 levers were the ones I needed for the 2019 bike.  I ordered them and they don't fit.  8mm diameter pivot pin and a 6mm ID bearing in the lever.  So I thought I would remove the bearings and use them like that, or drill them out for the stock bearings, but, for once I had enough sense to double check.  The aluminum bearing holder part of the lever is about 3 mm too thick to fit in the Beta lever perches.  I have not been able to get thru to ARC for about a week and a half, so I expect they may be in a end of year plant shut down.

I checked the levers against a friend's 2016 EVO 300, and the levers are too thick to fit in those perches also.

Is anyone else running the ARC levers in a new beta, and if so what are the part numbers?  Thanks.

Good question.  According to the above link the levers fit:

AJP PR3 125 2009-2010

AJP PR3 200 2009-2010

AJP PR4 125 2009-2010

AJP PR4 200 2010-2010

AJP PR4 240 2010-2010

AJP PR5 250 2013-2014

AJP brake vendor or AJP motorcycle?

Googling AJP PR5 250 gets you this:

 Myself, folding levers are a waste of money and feel like crap. I would just throw them in for spares. Proper

lever setup is critical on a trials bike.  We had a guy recently use these and he posted the link.
