Budget levers....what do you think??

[loopsrider]

Looks like the same manufacturers of those Rizoma look-a-like bar end mirrors are making levers now...I picked up a set of the mirrors and was pretty happy with them..might give these a try...

Not a bad starting price... anyone have a set yet?

I can't see an adjuster bolt - the bolt to adjust for freeplay.
Maybe it's there, but it's not visible.
Without it, these are worthless - even dangerous.
So, I would check that first.

This is the one: (you could send them my picture and ask)

Hmmm...neither my CRGs nor my Pazzos have that bolt.

I guess levers for your bike (non coffin master) is different and will have a different solution, but surely there must be a way of adjusting freeplay?

My FP levers, AFAIK dont have them either.  but im sure there is someway to adjust that else where.

I suppose it's the threaded plunger - you know the one with a tiny glued set-screw.
It serves the same purpose, but it's much more complicated to access 

Hmmm... I might have found at least one good thing about the coffin masters.
They are real easy to adjust to perfection - which should be done for every bike.

Bandit masters are (were) coffins.  I don't remember ever adjusting freeplay.  The new masters are radial Nissins with Pazzo levers.  No free play adjusters there either.

I'm assuming thats a generic picture.....the ad says they will fit a 999 master, but looking at the lever the one pictured sure won't.

Personally, I'll stick with CRG. They're local (US), and we know they are good quality. An extra $30/lever isn't much for assured quality.

Pass.

extra $30?  CRG levers are $95/pair???

A bit more $s for me by the time they hit my doorstep... about $100 more per pair for the CRGs...

I'm Canadian... I really could care less where they are manufactured as long as the quality is there...Most quality items I purchase for my bikes come from overseas and I find US quality VERY low on a number of products since the recession hit...

That said, I usually avoid Chinese products (hence why I ask for opinions and first hand experiences with Chinese products before buying them)





I'm thinking the picture is generic judging by the number of diffent models they list...

noooo   lol  95 each

I think that's a new product for M-label.  Never seen them before.  Damn cheap for a set of adjustable levers.  Never bought anything from M-label so I have no FHE with their products.  I currently have Pazzos but if I was looking for some levers I would probably try those out.  Looks like you may be the guinea pig for these.  Let us know what you think.  Check with them and make sure they have the piece to depress the neutral safety switch on the clutch side.  I had gotten a cheap set of adjustables that didn't and had to make a workaround until I got the Pazzos.

I wish! I assumed the $62.95 price in the ebay ad was per lever...guess I didn't read close enough (and still haven't). I'll still stick with the local guys.
