Very solid feeling, cant wait to fit them

Can't see the original ad to guess at the quality or origin of the seller, but after this, where Doug binned his Street Trip due to dodgy levers, I'd doubly make sure everything is sweet about the fit and operation of em, before going out on a good hoon.

A low speed crash does NOTHING to the brakes - I've had 2 of them. The only bit that went was a bit of the anodising. They're forged/machined so they didn't snap. To be fair though, I would be surprised if they weren't forged.

I've had 2 crashes with the same set of levers I had.

I think it's definitely aluminium purely because it's hard anodised. I'm not familiar with the grain structures of aluminium and its alloys (mostly look at ferrous components - austenitic and ferritic steels).

But looking at it, it feels lighter and stronger than my old levers which I know were die cast ( you can see the mould flashing that wasn't finished off). Or they could be die cast and then given a machine finish.

But considering the volume and output, the forging process in china is viable at the pricepoint they're selling them for. You look at description and it also says forged aluminium.

Always be wary of a seller selling clutch levers when they can't spell clutch in the leading description.

Seriously though, they look the part. Just make sure they fit ok and are not too tight or too loose at the pivot.

I'm waiting to receive the exact same levers for my ER6. Ordered them a week ago so no idea when they will turn up.

Hoping they are pretty good quality but for 38 quid you can't go wrong just as long as they fit correctly.

Plenty of people seem to be well pleased with their pazzo knock offs and I've not heard any horror stories.

[fozzym]

Maybe on reflection you can go wrong with cheapo levers, I got mine and fitted them.. Maybe its something I did wrong but the front brake locked solid after about 2 miles, only thing I could do was take off the lever....that freed it off. Refitted lever only for it to happen again.

Any suggestions guys??

[MinhDinh]

Becareful if it's not fitting right.

Having read that thread it sounds exactly what happened to me today just luckily without the shitting off down the road bit, thank God.

I'm gonna put the original kawa ones back on and save for real Pazzo levers I think.

Look guys,

2 points to remember about Dougs mishap.

1,

The circled areas are points of increased stress, very prone to snapping. Hence why i wouldnt even consider buying them.

That link wasn't for you, it was for the other guy who I quoted since he missed the thread... Also he is having issues.
