What are the best of the Chinese levers?  Any recommendations?

Thanks,

I really, really like my Pazzo levers. I don't want to start an oil thread, but I think they are worth paying for.

I have the pazzo knockoffs on mine.....previous owner added them.  I like them aside from two things.  First, the adjuster nees to be lubed occasionally or it is very hard to use.  Not really a big deal as i pretty much leave mine in one spot.  But the other thing kind of sucks....mine are the Pewter colored levers with red adjusters.  Looked awesome when I bought it, but since then, the red adjusters have faded. They were pinkish for a while and now they have faded to just a slight light redish hue.  So if you go for the knockoffs, probably avoid any red colors on them as they dont hold....

I've been reading favorable reviews about the Chinese knock-offa sold at ebay for real cheap (Around 40 bucks for a set for some of them). I'm sure some of them are better than others and there could be some bad ones out there, but maybe people here that bought them might chime in.

I have the knockoffs and they work fine. I have silver levers with black adjusters and like Higgin, the black parts on the clutch side have faded due to exposure. The brake side is fine but then it's usually tucked up next to the fairing when it's parked. So colors fading is likely with the knockoffs. Something to think about.

Foldable, adjustable length to change from full size/shorty and you choose the colour of each individual part on purchase to match the bike.


Once installed, adjusted and each moveable part tightened with an allen key I've had zero problems, they look nice, feel solid and most of all look nice :thumb:
Only issue that I've had in the last few months was someone moved my clutch adjuster while at uni, so when I tried to leave in the afternoon the clutch switch didn't engage and I couldn't start it in gear... didn't take long to fix that >.>

I have my eye on a set exactly like that one Dragon. Glad to hear you like them as that just of justifies my wanting them!

Any American company make these things?

I got mine from here: http://434racer.com/Products.html and am very satisfied with them. In fact the more I use them, the more I like them. I got the short ones for clutch and brake and they are just plain good levers.

I got 2 sets from Motomarts, not those exact ones but similar. They have loads available so worth a look and prices quoted in US$.

I'm really pleased with them.
