Chrome chinese levers

mm, chrome.

Me personally i would'nt buy em mate,they may look good quality in the photo but the price and the fact that they are coming direct from China more than likely means they'll be 100% shit and very poor quality Steer clear would be my advice FWIW

point. they re the last think you d want to snap when riding.

I said on an old post, I had to replace 3 Triumph oem rearset castings- bike knocked over - and they looked like the worst pieces of slag ally that I've ever seen.

Ick,,,,,,,,

I've just bought a pair of black stubby pazzo copies from eBay seller in Hong Kong and the quality is top notch. Bought for the grand total of 18quid for the pair. Still have the old real deal pazzos here from my SP1 and your hard pushed to tell them apart. The copies even have the brushed effect in the alloy.

If your pulling a brake lever hard enough to snap it then then lever snapping is the least of your probs.

I got mine about 2 months ago. best thing I ever got off fleebay. quality is 100% and as strong as a ox. only thing I will say is I got mine fron another ebayer. biker z £40 pair. thats not to say your link isn't the same. my advice, go for it you will not be disapointed if you get what I got for the money. anyone trying to worry you with tales of breakage is only saying that cos they paid 3x more for theres.

If someone made ASV copies i d be in there like a shot. they re pretty

I bought a pair like the guys are saying they a top notch.

They prob make them for ASV and PAZZO anyway all company's are out sourcing to china these days try them the machining is perfect.

I say save your money and get what you and your bike both deserve, top notch levers I just installed ASV's and didnt realise how much better they really are. With the infinite clutch adjustability, i have my clutch lever set up so my two finger pulls make my shifting sound like i installed an automatic trans. Best 200 bucks i've ever spent

what's the saying... 'if it don't go, chrome it'

My fold ups are also from Hong Kong...Sweet as they can be actually...Nice pieces of bling...
Glad I tried them..!! I WAS sceptical...Not now...
Not chrome though...

Chrome's better than those pikey wheel-strips.

( I just bashed in the autoparts store down in stockwell to get some)

For some chrome wheel strips .???

There is more to this than you realise, the Chinese do not have these bikes here to copy parts from, they are not importing parts to copy either and they would not front the tooling costs themselves anyway
No the reason these parts exist and are being sold on the internet is that manufacturers or aftermarket parts suppliers are sourcing these things in China, yes OEM

Most of the Japanese bike manufacturers source parts in China. I know for a fact Suzuki source their titanium valves in China, BMW to, probably many other manufacturers are now doing the same thing, titanium valves are expensive to produce, China is one of the main titanium producing countries in the world.......

The problem with buying these parts from spurious non liable internet sources is that what they are selling will be coming out of the back door of these OEM Chinese factories,
Great you may think they are OEM standard quality at a bargain price, Noooooooooooo, they are most likely to be seconds, parts with slight faults rejected during factory QC or even worse from a bad production run rejected by the customer

This type of business is huge in China on the internet and even in high street shops, its normal practice for Chinese OEM factories, no one is liable here and there are no enforced safety standards,Nothing any factory manufactures goes to waste, nothing even if it is dangerous........ there are no morals, no waste, the only thing the Chinese care about is money

This is not supposition or opinion this is fact, I have spent most of the last 11 years working in China as a designer and product developer, I have seen these things with my own eyes hundreds of times....

Be careful out there in internet land

These are the levers i bought a few years ago TWM from Italy,i've crashed em bent em back straight and they are still working perfectly, well worth the £125 i paid for em IMO

pretty, nice shape.

I had pazzo's, didn t like the shape/feel.

Gotta say, I'm sadly suprised by the number of members buying chinese, out the back door junk.

It's not about being satisfied. It's about putting chicom product on a euro babe.
Would be interesting to see how many people who buy this stuff are having job/money troubles.
Nothing like bitching about companies sending jobs overseas, then doing all by yourself.
It really sickens me. CRG are made in USA, Pazzo are made in Italy.
I have Pazzo my self. As a machinist, I appreciate a machined surface finish.
Chrome is what they use to make turd pipes survive sewage.

To me it defies belief, with the worlds main economies in freefall due to spending the last 15-20 years pumping money into the Chinese economy buying cheap copy crap people still carry on knowingly feeding China`s foreign currency reserves

Willh lost his job in a steel mill........ I wonder why cheap Chinese steel imports would be my guess

Then he happily puts his money in the hands of the very people who were probably responsible for him loosing his job

I think there is a moral lesson in that for everyone

So we all sit back and do nothing and hope our Governments can save us

Here is the kicker. I lost my job because of some Greedy Italian-Americans thought they could revolutionize the steel business without knowing how the business runs and why it runs that way. They destroyed a 675 000 000 dollar company in 2 years, sold assets, padded there pockets with great whopping bonuses then F'd off. We had no real competition from China that would have closed us. The whole thing looks crooked to me as the previous owner picked up the pieces for 45 000 000 and is back to making money with it. I work in a machine shop now with a much reduced income. A small part of our product actually gets shipped to China.

If I was still making decent cash that would have me travelling for holidays etc, then I would probably have little problem encouraging my friends in Langley, BC.

So, I can weld up my old cut-downs or spend the equivalent of 2 tanks of gas for replacements. You do the math.

in the construction industry you know when you get a batch of chinese steel (as opposed to Australia steel), most of the time it looks completly fine until you have a look at the quoality of the metallurgy.

The stuff is terrible, bear in mind that this is the stuff that has passed their 'stringent australian standard' quality checks (our standards are high, its just that they try to push crap through anyway).

I would not touch any of those levers as when you truly need that handful of brakes, you will bent levers...you dont realise just how strong your hands are with an adrenalin shot to your system.

Heck I bent my stock lever when pulling up in a hurry (emergency braking). I Would not trust these items to save my life... is that bit of bling really worth an accident? Would that really equate to saving money after all your finances (let alone life) are in tatters as you no longer have braking and plow into whatever you didnt want to hit?

Guess everyone will just have to agree to disagree.

Just ran this lever subject by a few mates who race. One has 3 Scottish championships under his belt, the other has won a British 250 championship. Both run eBay cheap levers. They said most of the paddock runs them too. Both have crashed whilst using hem and never had a breakage. Put the point across about breaking one by pulling it under braking and got laughed out the place.

Had a 30min Google search and can't find any instances of levers snapping. If they were braking there would def be reports on bike forums. Only breakages I could find was where he bike had been crashed on a trackday and picked it up an set off again. Best bit is it was the factory standard fitment lever that broke.

i got some black chinky levers from fleabay...made of cheese. (black cheese that is)

Why do people think that everything made in Italy is top quality, bollox. The best suits are made in Germyn street in London, the best shoes in the world are made in Northampton. My Aprilia Dorsoduro was made out of playdoh, shit!!
My ducati is like playdoh left in the sun, (not much better) stick an 'o' or an 'i' on a name and you can add a hundred quid straight off, Brit , Kraut (autrian / german) and any baltic state know how to make things that last...
How many Lancias/Alfa Romeos/Fiats etc do you see from the 80's on the road...not many as they ate themselves and killed their drivers.

Maybe all true Danno but i quite liked the TWM levers so i got em Regarding the Ducati and the Aprilia could be you're weight issue flexing the metal parts a tad
You were missed at Cadders M8.......i think!
