#1 Post by ReggieGasket » Fri Apr 17, 2015 8:16 pm

My standard levers look a bit worn. Can anyone suggest a nice upgrade? My bike is Flame Red, so thinking black maybe :smt017

Quite happy with Titax as opposed to squid who allegedly prefers a tight a... Sorry going off topic ;)
They are cheaper than ASV etc quite light and fairly robust only thing I would say is the span change isn't massive think I had pazzo on obe and even to my ham hocks they felt ok but then some have been quite happy with the knock off versions of those for about 30£ off ebay
For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock

There was a group buy on Pazzo levers a while back. Not cheap, but solid and was do really well

I've got the black with red adjusters,go well with the black and red paint. Silver might be better for yourself, with silver frame etc, but horses for courses :smt002

I've ASV levers and I love them, yes they're a bit on the pricey side but I can't fault them.

Hi all,

I second the asv levers, you will not believe the adjustment on these puppies!

I have some good cheap but good far eastern stubby levers,fitted for about 2 years now.
6 position span adjustment, about £17 inc postage.
If I had to critise them then they need something like a .05 mm shim beneath the lever.
Global trade bargain.

hi Giles I've got expensive Pazzo short levers on my Falco and they are superb. They are beautifully made. I've got cheap Chinese copies on the Tiger. they look good and do the job but you can just "feel" they are not as well made as the Pazzos. Come round and have a look.

Now I'm confused about colour. Like the black, but agree silver may be more appropriate. Yes Dave. This week isn't good, but will get round.

I had a set of cheap Chinese ones, they were such a bad fit that the brake lever jammed on (obviously they got take off and never saw the road).

I now have a set of factory racing folding ones. They were selling them off cheap on fleecebay.

The Chinese pazzo's have been well covered here - I have had no problems with mine but Mr Dremel did visit them to make sure they work as intended


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...
