My review of the eBay knock-off adjustable levers

[That Motorcycle Show]

I got some in the mail Friday and I will post pics as well. My set screws were backwards too! The look and feel great!

Which seller did you go with?

[fsx]

do me a favor when you get those (if you can) weigh them.

Good is heavy. I have FP racing levers (retail $199, i got them on a xmas deal for $159 with lvl 3 anodizing for +$10 more)

i have gone down on them twice. they are perfectly fine, even though one of them destroyed my clip on tube and was in excess of 60mph on a corner around NJMP.

can you link me to where I can find these FP levers?

I've had my knock-offs for almost 2 years now and I love them. They've survived 2 falls, several dings into the tight doorway I ride my bike through, and are not sloppy feeling at all. Can't comment on the "pink" issue because I wanted and opted for the all blacks. I believe "Motocircle" was the Ebay dealer if I remember correctly.

Sorry 'bout the crappy pic. They really do polish up well when I have the inclination

If I would've read this thread before I bought my knockoffs, I wouldn't have done it.  But I didn't.  And I'm glad.  These are the best items I've ever purchased (or seen, for that matter) to come out of China.

The color is great; they are smooth (top and bottom); they ARE shorty's (my preference); and since I was afraid of the colors not matching my (red) m696, I went with black on black (adjusters).

Here are some pics before I install them (sorry for the crappy cellphone resolution):

In their original package



Unwrapped









I literally got the call they had been delivered while I was reading this thread.  I couldn't help posting my pics.  Can't wait to have them installed...in part because I broke my brake lever in an unfortunate (and private) tipping incident at my job's parking lot.

Here is the item I purchased off Ebay --> http://www.ebay.com/itm/180877742646?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

Without having held the expensive levers, I couldn't offer a comparison, however, I would recommend these if you're on a budget

[Rudemouthsky]

Those are pretty. I wish I'd gotten the shorty's. Oh wait, $30? I will get em.

I have serious doubts that these are of a significantly lower quality than the Pazzo's, if not the same.

One thing that WILL happen to these; if they spend a lot of time in the sun they will fade very slightly to a dark "gunmetal"ish color. Mine did, but it doesn't bother me or affect the looks imo

They're heavy too.  Someone said that weight = quality, so I feel good about these.

I think if they do fade, I could just take them off, apply some rattle can action, and be on my way.  Or, as my GENEROUS wife suggested, I could just get them in another color   

[Speedbeaver]

Just got mine!








Red selector is a tad off compared to the billet oil cap I ordered from another ebay shop. Doesn't bother me much since they won't be side by side.

[joshuajcrouch]

Dang those look good.  Anyone know which ones will work with the coffin style masters?

[Speedbeaver]

Mine are for a monster 696 (coffin)

check their store on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/the2wheels-Adjustable-Brake-Clutch-CNC-Levers-Ducati-MONSTER-696-2009-2012-/290708364484?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&fits=Make%3ADucati%7CSubmodel%3A696%7CModel%3AMonster&vxp=mtr&hash=item43af919cc4

Just specify your bike year & model and levers type (short/long) and color (both lever & selector) in the paypal comments or send them a message after the payment.

Took 2 weeks. Seems like a good $31 to spend. If they ever fade I'll just order anoter pair.

Thanks for the review!  They look decent but I personally just can't put Chinese parts on my Italian bike.  Even as much as I like CRG's they are American made and therefore don't belong on my Duck.  It is a personal thing for me.  To me my Ducati is my Ferrari.  If I have to shave a few bucks on a purchase like levers I bought the wrong toy ( :

High-minded, but if you think that new Ducatis and Ferraris are made without parts from China, I suspect you're mistaken.

[Skybarney]

They may come with some parts from China but I can't do it on purpose.  I bought the Motowheels folding levers and installed them yesterday.  I got a GREAT price on them as well.  Definatly more than 40.00 but less than $201.00.  They are really nice, not flashy and feel great on the bike.

[Rudemouthsky]

So, just because they're Chinese, eh? regardless of the quality? seems a lil' racist.

edit: I noticed you precluded American made parts as well...gotcha. In any case, these are *extremely* nice levers. I just ordered a new set of shortys
