As pictured, the top clutch lever looks proper, and lines up no problem with the mounting points on the bike. But the lower lever (brake) seems to be the incorrect lever.... Shouldn't it have a second mounting hole like the top one? I have eyeballed them beside the ones on the bike and I don't see how this brake lever could attach. Opinions please? Should I be making an exchange?

No they look fine, just put the same ones on my bike, you will see when you install them
Awesome thanks guys... I imagine I'm supposed to re-use part of the old brake lever... Just wanted to return ASAP if I had to, as I didn't want to install these for another month or so :cool:
ps. I am highly impressed by the quality of these levers for anyone in doubt :fing02:

lucky they didnt snap under the pressure of us all looking at them :computer-noworky:
Now that's funny!
What? :mellow: Are they not strong? :blink:
I think some people here are a little touchy on buying foreign knock-offs... Bottom line is my budget.... $40 for these vs. ~$200 for Pazzo's
The whole "economy" argument is a slippery slope..... because I can assure you: If the only levers on the market were the full price Pazzo's, I would never make the purchase.

I own two bikes and I would never buy cheap Chinese knock offs. :pissed: Mainly because I already paid for Pazzo's and CRG's. Honestly there's nothing I have heard negative about the quality and performance of these discount Chi-Pazzo's. Good find.

And here I thought the first pic was going to show one broken in half. :biggrin:
Do you guys think that every piece of your VFR is made in Japan? Ha!
On a side note, I paid $60 for my chinese levers. They didn't snap from me pulling on them, and I paid the extra $20 because they're actually a new design(for the chinese anyway) that fold up in a tip over. They're adjustable for length too, shorty one day, long the next. :thumbsup:
And to be completely honest, those are on the CB900F, not the VFR, because I still prefer the blade-like feel of the oem levers. :blush:

+1 Brake lever snapping off where I ride could mean instant DEATH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There's a good chance that I'm being mentally handicapped this morning (I had a late night at work), but looking at the top two pics posted it looks like the levers are reversed? I've never seen sets with the adjustment lever on both sides, so I assume that means they're both face up. Am I missing something?
Lol! Had I known the install was going to be that easy I would never have asked the question..... Literally 5 minutes tops... Love the feel, and thanks for the help.
When I was on my trip this summer Dark Knight and myself compared levers. His are knockoffs and mine are Pazzo... They are identical right down to the hardware used to assemble them. Except for colour differences if someone swapped levers between the two bikes neither of us would be able to tell the difference. :goofy:
The reason I went Pazzo was because of limited order time before my trip this summer. Levers that adjust closer to the bar are a very good (read necessary) thing for those of us with small hands. I was kicking myself for not having picked them up prior to flying out to get the bike last October.
:+1: on ease of install - should only take you five minutes.

Anybody else with the 'red' adjusters notice fading? They weren't a dark red to begin with, but they're starting to look a little pink.
I got black adjusters for that reason. Annodized parts always fade in the sun unfortunately, not much you can do about it. Email the sellers, maybe they can send replacement black ones?
