Has anyone ever purchased these levers from monsterparts.com?

Are they any good? I know they're no CRG's or anything, but $30, you can't beat that. I don't know if this is the case of getting what you paid for and they'll brake as soon as you hit warp speed.

In this economy cheaper can be better, but if they're garbage, I'll keep the stock ones for now.

those come stock on S2R1000's. They are okay. not much adjustibility. if you REALLY need levers. then fine.but if you are trying to upgrade. i wouldnt.

Those don't have the clutch switch activator, so no more starting in gear with the clutch pulled in.

Also it's not only the adjustability that counts; the shape also makes a difference.

I bought these and like them:

They're more rounded at the top so it makes for a smoother operation. And it beats the 220â,¬ I needed to caugh up for pazzos.

For not much more than that i got my DPM / ducati performance levers.

I'll post pics from home cos they were the best $45  i spent on my monster.

i had them a while ago before i had a minor tank ding the broke one of them, couldn't find them again at the time so i bought non-adjustable and swapped them out. Once i unpack my garage i have a brake lever if any one wants a used one.

Some pics would be awesome, also where'd you get them? I just did a quick search and found nothing.

my friend got some of those levers to fix some broken ones. they are decent cheapos. they work but you basically need a wrench to move those shitty adjusters


if youve got bent levers, then go ahead. otherwise save up for CRGS or ASVs (my choice) or pazzos
