I paid twenty for mine...albeit they were from Sutur and used...these have been around for a while and I had them on my previous Busa....the anodising was pretty crap it wore off after a very short while...but they were gold ones...the black seems to be OK.

Hi Rich!
Check that the lever still switches your clutch actuation switch on and off. Some Chinese levers lack the appropriate boss in the lever. Compare against your original lever. Otherwise you'll be stuck in your neutral map.

also make sure the brake one doesn't touch the fairing, it could touch on full lock causing a stationary drop - nearly happenned to me! could have been very embarrassing.

Got these once (not sure if the same brand but who knows who makes them really). After re-drilling the holes to be able to mount them at all, the brake switch did not operate because that little pip was missing it altogether. Thrown them in the bin and got my money back after sending them some photos. You buy a lot of aggrevation for only few dollars.

I have had a set of these cheap Chinese levers on my Triumph speed triple and got a set on my busa with no issues at all.

In the Eternal Pursuit of Bling (show off)
..... and we all do it.
2 Chinese Lever Issues:
1. Quality does pay but at what price? On the road the Chinese Levers may work, look very well and you have not mortgaged your house for the top brands.
2. On the track hitting T2 at the Island and have a brake lever snappo is not good.
Bottom line is if you don't invest in safety such as best tyres and brake components regardless or road or track invest in top Medical cover and Funeral benefits
Fine looking Bling is fine in non-critical areas only
Cheers

PS: Most Oz Superbikes run OME levers and Pads. Most teams have many spares in the box.
Surprised?

I've had Chazzos (Chinese Pazzos) on the track bike and road bikes, at EC, Phillip Island, etc... for years. No problems, ever.

Chazzos are on the Panabusa and my FJR and they work fine - never had any problems.
Put real Pazzos on my road Busa and the detent doesn't work properly on the clutch - gotta squeeze it in very hard to release the interlock!
The quality of the real Pazzos definitely shows, but Im a bit disappointed they didn't get that right.
Can be modified by the look of it, but haven't had the time yet.
