I just bought my first set of pazzos from a bloke on here...there great, but certainly no better than the e bay Chinese ones I had on the busa..in fact the Chinese copies looked a tad more trick... :)

Please be careful if you test your mod out .
 a friend did similar bodge years back but  didn't realise the brake was slightly on all the time
As the disk got hot the brake grabbed and locked up  :'( 
He was ok after he picked himself up only his pride dented


My mate did exactly the same - borrowed a spare master cylinder off my gsxr to go onto his blade - but I think he used the Blade lever. Result? The master cylinder piston couldn't return to it's "at rest" position, where it's vented to the reservoir. The brakes drag, the discs heat up, the brakes lock up. SUDDENLY. Threw him up the road. He couldn't see anything wrong; got back, and it threw him off again (FFS).

That said, I have a set of Chinese black shorty levers on my GSXR and they work perfectly, even on trackdays. These did come via the States for about £40 and 3 years ago as I remember, but I'm pretty sure they originated from China.
