Clutch and brake levers

[Aldi]

The levers I bought off ebay were a straight swap, no fettling or drama involved, really pleased with them 

Tried to upload photos but that seemingly does involve fettling and drama 

[froudy]

Does the clutch lever operate the clutch switch on all span settings?
Had a problem with one a few years ago and had to modify it slightly to get it to work on setting one.

I have short TITAX , which I got used on local forum.
Braking with 2 fingers (with 6 and 4 pots calipers), using clutch mostly with 3 fingers, but it also possible to use with only 2. Never regret I have them.

Mine were listed as SV1000 levers, so if you are looking any options, consider also other Suzuki models:

if i remember correct . the ones on the bike when i got it had 6 adjustments and the cheap chinese jobs only had 4  , i went back to 6 as i found the 4 position versions did not adjust to the right place for me.

just a question? i dont understand why everyone wants to change from original levers. they have worked perfectly for me, for a long time. just interested why.

I got these red and black adjustable shortys

I have a pair of Prezzo leavers
The just feel much more comfy than standard .
Emma has standard leavers but I modified the clutch leaver by fitting a 600 bandit adjuster and modifying the leave so it's more comfy for her shorter hand span as minimum on standard leavers were a bit of a stretch.

For me - because dog leg levers have more adjustment, also I find that dog leg levers give me much more control over braking pressure than standard levers

My bike came with the tasteless "Tarts Handbag Edition" Gold Pazzo's levers
I like the adjustment, size, use and feel but they are offensive to my eyes and have a little road rash damage.

So on went my spare Gen-1 Busa levers.



Just for my own entertainment and inquisitive mind I had a look at the cheap Chinese levers for the GSX1400.

What could ever go wrong with $21.60c (£12.04p) a pair levers ?
(Pazzo's are REAL nice but anything up to $240 to $299 a pair)



I spent a couple of minutes checking them over.
Tightened up a couple of the slack bolts, added a some thread lock and a dab of grease.
They fitted fine.  Clutch and brake light switches work fine.



# Im not putting a link up to the seller until I've tested them properly on a good ride.

# Funny, I'd probably still buy Pazzo's for my H2 or B-King, but not my Black Rat 14.

You don't need to buy 'em Tony, you've already got 'em.  Paint 'em black & pretend they're cheap chinese copies, you'll never know the difference.

I'd still know they were just Pazzo's and not genuine $21 Chinese levers.
Pazzo's are very hard to de-anodise, I've tried !
At least now I can do a proper comparison between the 3.

[Tony Nitrous]

Having done several hundred K's this week and given them a lot of use,
I have no issues with my $21.60c / £12.14p a pair Chinese levers.
I was expecting crap, but although they aren't Pazzo standards they work fine. 

[GSXKING]

I'd have to agree that Pazzo just feel better, a lot more adjustment. Set and forget. 

No change in colour of anodizing after many years of use.

All this talk about levers but how many of you carry a spare set under your seat? I have for the last 18 years unused & I hope it stays that way.

BTW, I'm with you Grog & wonder why.

@Snapey
I carry 1 pair if standard leavers under the seat .
Never needed them but I bet the day I take them out I'll need then.
