Have a look for ASV levers - more expensive, but probably better quality overall.

I have similar Chinese ones, absolutely fine, go for them!

If you do get them, let me know how you get on as it's something that is on my to-do list

Punkstig · « **Reply #4 on:** 23 July 2013, 07:12:56 pm »

If they were sent from china (or that general area) they always write 'gift' on the package, not once have I had to pay any duties when getting stuff from that part of the world.
If you do get stung its standard vat on top of what you've paid plus a small paperwork charge!

Got these on my zrx1200 they are great quality for the money.
Bought loads of gear from china for my bikes and all good,dont worry about customs from china never had any charges ever.America on the other hand is the one you get charged for.

Ordered, just hope customs don't try to rape me for import duty and handling fees, does anyone know at what price this applies ?

They won't but TNT might. Low value for VAT free is £15. See my reply at http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php/topic,8866.msg88314.html#msg88314

The 15 quid threshold doesn't apply if it is marked as a sample as mine was so add a note to your order asking them not to mark item as sample

mtread · « **Reply #8 on:** 23 July 2013, 09:13:05 pm »

Good point. Presumably because a 'sample' is regarded as a commercial importation rather than a personal one.

There's a couple of photos of mine fitted and an eBay link to the seller on this thread if that's any help.

noggythenog · « **Reply #12 on:** 04 August 2013, 03:11:46 pm »

Agreed, these look ace & i need a new brake lever anyway.

I dont know nowt about the mechanism though, any special tools required???

noggythenog · « **Reply #13 on:** 04 August 2013, 03:37:03 pm »

Cool, cheers fizzy, sounds within my limited powers

Hope they feel good when you get oot n aboot.

Fuzzy · « **Reply #14 on:** 08 August 2013, 02:57:46 pm »

Hows the adjustment of the clutch lever like? I've always found the standard lever to be too far away from the bar to my liking.

Fuzzy · « **Reply #15 on:** 08 August 2013, 06:15:13 pm »

Thanks Fizzy Pies, that's good, they're a bit of yummy bling too so I think I just might!

Fuzzy · « **Reply #18 on:** 12 August 2013, 12:34:35 am »

Just ordered some of these. Wanted some standard length ones but couldn't find them anywhere so settled on a nice silver pair

Mav121 · « **Reply #19 on:** 13 August 2013, 10:29:10 am »

Hi, My first ever post on here, hope it helps.

I got these levers from eBay (China) and have been using them for about three weeks. Like you I was not too sure about how they would turn out but I am more than happy with them. As for the company, I had no problems with them, the levers actually turned up 2 days before they said they would.
Attached are some pics (i hope) of them on the bike.

Fuzzy · « **Reply #20 on:** 13 August 2013, 02:34:44 pm »

Firstly, welcome Mav121! Yes, they look good and nicely colour coordinated too btw. Bit worried about switching to short levers, not sure if I'd like it to be honest. Looking forward to trying them out though.

noggythenog · « **Reply #21 on:** 23 August 2013, 06:35:18 pm »

Fizzy how are you getting on with these levers, re the clutch switch?.

I really really really need some new levers now, they cant take any more impacts.these ones seem the only option at a sensible price & they do look the part.

Fuzzy · « **Reply #22 on:** 23 August 2013, 08:49:48 pm »

Mine should be here next week - not looking forward to any charges

noggythenog · « **Reply #23 on:** 23 August 2013, 09:58:39 pm »

Well ive just sent them a message asking if they have any of the Blue ones & can i have the same price as the gold.

Ive also asked how they'll package them so hopefully ill get some Blue ones soon enough.

noggythenog · « **Reply #24 on:** 24 August 2013, 04:47:43 pm »

Finally ordered some for my now soon to be mad max fazer.
annoyingly only gold ones available at much much cheapness, but they told me they could do Blue but there was no way i could figure out to buy blue ones on ebay so ive bought the black ones with a message to them explaining that i want Blue not black.

i also explained that since they were close to 20 gbp can they mark as such and i suggested they were a gift, a gift from me to my myself no less!

.

so basically now im playing the will i get customs raped waiting game
