pazzo lever knock-offs?

[H919rider]

Found these on ebay. FOLD-EXTEND LEVERS HONDA CBR250RR MC19 MC22 CBR250 - eBay (item 260698605140 end time Dec-25-10 19:57:05 PST) They would remove the decision of whether to get the shorty or the standard length. I wouldn't worry about them breaking under use. My concern would be ease of installation and whether they would fit correctly.

I've got a set coming from Firedragonbrothers off of Ebay ($45 bucks shipped) after I heard other guys on the ZRX board raving about em. Those guys are very picky and I didn't hear one negative thing about the Chinese levers from anybody who put em on their rex. I'll let ya know how they work. I'll probably end up getting a set for my 9'er as well. I wouldn't mind paying a little more for American quality and manufacturing...but not 3 and 4 times the price.

I know this is old thread, but I was just wondering how your china levers are holding up? I broke my clutch lever and was thinking of giving the china ones a shot.

mine are great!! but it's stored indoors

[caferacer72]

Yeah I am curious to see how you made out with them 1fastrex.

What about these: ASV LEVERS F3 SET HONDA CB 919 2002-2006 - eBay (item 260684891854 end time Jan-27-11 12:39:08 PST)


They fold in case of a wreck. Look to be decent, yet still pricey.

Oh! And if you break it, they replace it. Quoted from the auction: "Guaranteed Not To Break
All ASV levers include a guarantee against breakage. That's right, you break your ASV lever, we replace it! No charge, No catch, No excuses. If you break your ASV lever, we will fix it or replace it. If you are not happy with your lever for any reason, we will do what ever it takes to make you happy. We have the best guarantee in the business and back it up in writing.

I was just wondering more about being able to get back on the bike and ride it after a spill.

Unless you carry spare levers in your road kit, these might be worth the extra $ for the cost. Plus, they replace them if they do get broken.

^^ What he said, I bought ASV levers and LOVE them, it would take alot to break 'em and if they do ever break I'll have new ones free.

Adjustable length So you can go shoty, standard or anything inbetween and it pivots up and down to minimize crash damage and undoubtedly will soon suffer the fate of being knocked-off in China too...that's if it's not coming out of there in the first place.

Wish I had seen those before I dropped $200 on Pazzos

I paid $115 shipped and for that kind of money, the tolerances should be a whole lot tighter. The levers have a significant amount of play at the pivots and actually move almost 1/4" up and down at the tip. If they were full length levers, that slop would be at least 3/8" either way!

They are gorgeous and have nice adjustability but............

I actually find them kinda big and clunky. Wish they were a little lighter with a better contour. Also, the shortys aren't nearly as short as I would like...

Oh, and where the hell did you get them for $115 shipped??

[caferacer72]

ASV Levers are the BEST. You can get them for the same price as the Pazzo's. I paid $199.00 for them and the quality is wayyyyyyyyy better than the Pazzo's. I had the real Pazzo's and compared to the knock off's there really isn't much difference besides the price. My advice is get the ASV's if you want top notch levers. $199.00 at motomummy with free shipping and a free pair of grips as well.

+1, I LOVE my ASV's.

[caferacer72]

Actually I just checked their website and they are now offering free adjusters with a set of levers. They were only offering the free grips when I purchased mine a couple of years ago.

ME TOOO !!!!!! Best levers I ever had hands down.......

[aussiehornet]

I bought a cheap set of Chinese levers, I am really surprised in the increased ease of use. It is so much easier to use the clutch and I have been using the front brake with one finger no problems. I wanted adjustable levers to bring the clutch lever in closer. Good value for money but not the best quality.

Just put on a pair of black ASV shortys and like them. Bought them from MotoMummy for $200 shipped. Two complaints though: 1. White ASV logos a bit garish, 2. Should have bought longer clutch lever. I have smallish hands and the lever travel to engage the clutch is a little long.

The chinese should start knocking off the ASV's. I like the rounder ASV lever profile than the Squarish pazzo style.
