BARGAIN > Pazzo-Style Levers
« on: 23 June 2012, 09:28:11 am »
The reason I'm posting this, is to spread the news that yes, now and again you can find a genuine bargain!  :eek

Twice now, I've bought a pair of Pazzo-style levers for £24 from Hong Kong and twice I've been absolutely delighted with the product. The first time I bought these was for my CBR600 and to be honest with you, I wouldn't have been surprised if they had never arrived or if they were a load of cheap tat. But they did arrive and they look great!!

They fitted to the CBR with no problems whatsoever and so I decided to order a pair for the FZS. They arrived after a week and as before, they came superbly packed and went onto the bike without a single hitch. How the hell can you beat that for £24? Even if you only wanted some new levers to replace your battered old ones, these are a perfect, cost-saving replacement.

I heard about them in a bike magazine (copy attached). The levers are available in a very wide range of colours and sizes and are available to fit most bikes.

Don't know how much difference there is between different levers and bikes but there is no option for the FZS600  :\

That's a bummer Panthor :( 


You'll have to see if any of the other Yams listed are compatible with the FZS600

I've not heard of those people but their site and product look good but I will add a word of caution about buying willy nilly from the far east - especialy some levers from ebay. Check for reviews and feedback about the product.

Be aware that some of these products are cheap and are manuctured cheaply. Sometimes the working tolorances aren't brilliant resulting in small amounts of pressure being applied to the front brake. Over time this may cause heated brakes temps and in rare cases can cause the front wheel to lock up possibley resulting in loss of control. So if your're going to fit levers always check the free movment of the front wheel after instalation then after brief operation/test ride to make sure everything's working hunky dory.

That makes sense Kosmic. I'm pleased to report that these are spot on. The only thing you have to do once they're fitted, is nip up the pivot-point hex bolt.

The 600 and 1000 use different levers - you can get a brake one but not a clutch - and the brake is adjustable anyway. Titlax cost me £55 clutch alone :'(

I can vouch for these too, had a set on my 'GSXR' and was so impressed that I bought another pair for the current 'Blade' when I got that,
now......,
I HATE wasting money and to my eternal shame have bought some shocking tat on Ebay before (I take no pride in it) but genuinely these are surprisingly good and I'd pay more for them - in fact when I sold my GSXR via OYB in Aylesbury, they were so impressed after test riding it that they took a picture of the levers and made it a selling feature on the ad (custom levers etc........).
Anyway - DYOR as they say, but I'll get more of these  :-)

for the 600 owners could you not get the 1000 clutch lever post? i dont see why that should not work unless the depth of where the cable goes into it is a lot smaller

Have had a set of these on the gen 1 1000 for allmost 2 years now. They still work and fit well and have recommended to lots of others.
As said above though there have been reports on some import levers about brake rubbing or the brake lights being triggered at the wrong time so do check. Also the colour on mine (black) did fade fairly fast. But still think they are well worth the cost.

I have ordered a set ... tbh for £23 delivered....its a no brainer.
 
I have a set of  cheapo( pazzo copies)  adjustable levers on my FZS which cost £36 a pair over 4 yrs ago....so there is a comparison.These levers are now about £48 a pair..I have had no issues at all with them...so dont be put off buying cheaper copies of pazzos. You are paying for a brand with pazzo...

Had some on my CBR and they were fine would have standard length next time instead of short ones.

I have a set of similar levers on the Ape and they are great my brother IL had a set on his trumpet .
I bought a pair for the Zx12 years ago and as KK said they were poorly made and did not engage the brakes fully.
So i wait from direct feedback before buying them now
Its just a ride
