Just thought I would share this info... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ewItem&item=330491099474 Ordered up a pair. I will let you all know the quality once i get them... for $42.80 shipped I cant see this as a bad purchase. | ||

To late for me, I bought the Pazzo levers. I looked at these, but couldn't pull the trigger. I'm sure you are right and they will look and work just fine - definitely post pics and your opinion when you have them installed. I've think I've become a farkle snob and prefer the name brand, though in my defense the Rizoma turn signals I bought were worth every extra penny they cost as the design, brightness, manufacturing quality and ease of installation is not matched by the cheap LED turn signals out there IMO. | ||

I've been looking at these myself. My brake lever is bent, so I'd like to replace it. I've considering these or Buellistic's suggestion of the Kawi levers, as an upgrade to the stock levers. I'm interested to see if these are painted or anodized... and if the quality is up there with the Pazzos (fit wise). The Pazzos are probably outsourced to China anyway  | ||

You'll can use KAWASAKI levers, pictures and part numbers if you want them, just PM me ... (Message edited by buellistic on November 12, 2010) | ||

The Pazzos are probably outsourced to China anyway Ha-ha, you trying to burst my bubble? From the Pazzo Racing website: Almost all materials used in the manufacture of our levers are domestic (North America, USA or Canada). Starting from the 6061-T6 aluminium, the custom made components, the anodizing, the cartons all are Made in USA or Made in Canada. Excluded are the Metric fasteners, they are from Germany. The CNC machines we use to manufacture the levers are all Made in USA. We strongly believe in supporting our domestic markets and Proudly declare the levers are Canadian/USA made. So if you don't mind loading up your American bike with more Asian accessories, from an Asian supplier - have at it  | ||

We just ordered a few sets of these for bikes I'm working on. mostly kawi 636 and a triumph. The fit and finish is spectactular, though the annodizing on the red adjustment lever is a bit more pink than red, however thats to be expected with annodizing at times. What kawi levers can be used? And is that the same as for an S1 instead of an x1? | ||

From 1997 on, all levers RETRO-FIT to end of production run in 2002 and the BLAST levers are also the same ... | ||

I'm using shorty levers from an 04 GSXR 1000 that fit great. the break lever only needed slight modification | ||

So if you don't mind loading up your American bike with more Asian accessories, from an Asian supplier - have at it Buells use Nissin brakes and Showa suspension... Both are not "American"... Thailand and Japan. I try to stay away from products from China though. Cheap labor and 9 times out of 10 Cheap materials... Although I see it hard to F up a lever And a 1 year warranty sounds good to me! | ||

Duceater and I are friends and he was busting my balls so I was just busting his back. That said, I am well aware of where the parts on our tubers come from, that is why I used the word "more". Also, while suspension and brakes aren't really what I would call accessories - I did replace my rear shock with a superior American made product (Penske), upgraded the forks with American made components (Racetech), and outfitted my Nissin calipers with American made pads (EBC). | ||

I've been eying those levers and was about to plunge in, please report as to fit and finish. | ||
| Foximus |
Lupo. Buy some. You wont be anything but satisfied. | ||

Just wondering how long it would take to get them? Longer than a couple of weeks? I'm really tempted to get a shorty for the brake. | ||

"Just wondering how long it would take to get them? Longer than a couple of weeks? " email I received this morning from the seller: "i am going to use the normal air mail to ship out your item asap your item usually would takes around 7-18 days to arrived if you are located in USA, UK, Australia, Germary, and France (Max delivery time is 2 of Dec-2010)." I'm not particularly proud of ordering parts from Hong Kong, but the $160 in savings over a pair of CRG levers will mostly likely sooth my guilt btw, I have a pair of CRG's on my X1 that were ordered from American Sport Bike. The pair of ebay levers is for my XT. Once I get the chink levers installed I'll report back with a comparison. I'd love to find that the American product really is worth the 5x larger price tag, but it's doubtful. (Message edited by pkforbes87 on November 15, 2010) | ||

How do you tell them which ones you want? | ||
| Serialk |
Still waiting for mine to come in. just send them a message in your ebay with the year and model and the color and style of the levers you want: ie: "99 Buell X1 shorty silver levers" This seller is really good at shipping out on time and providing you with a tracking number. Its been 4 days since I bought them on ebay. Im in BC Canada. We will see how long it takes. | ||
| Pkforbes87 |
the listing says include shorty/regular and desired color in the paypal notes. Either I missed it, or it wasn't there but I sent them a message via ebay immediately after submitting payment and got a prompt email response saying they got the lever length and color info. I requested shorty black levers with black adjustment tabs. black levers normally come with red adjustment tabs so we'll see if the mix and matching works. If not, I can live with red tabs. | ||

Keep us posted on how you guys make out. I think I'll hold off until spring given that my riding days are getting numbered here in Northeast US. | ||
| Nallac |
Have the levers turned up yet?....... if so how'd they fit etc... | ||
| Serialk |
20 days and I'm still waiting...I checked today and they are in Vancouver Customs... I Hate waiting, Hope they are worth the wait. Dont Worry I will keep ya posted | ||
| Foximus |
Dont worry... They take a while. We've order a couple pair now, and not a single one has taken under 2 weeks. They all ship from Hong Kong. | ||

I've ordered a lot of iPhone parts from china and it always takes a long time for airmail (3-4 weeks) for me. | ||
| Ft_bstrd |
I want pics please. | ||

Okay got the levers today. The are beefy and look amazing! Once the seller gets %100 feedback they activate your 1 year warranty on the levers. The brake lever went on without a problem. The Clutch lever. Well it is either the wrong one or just needs some serious modifications. There is just a hole. No slot for the cable and nub to slide into. and the mount is way to fat to go on the bar mount. I contacted the seller to see if they have different mounts.I got a response from the seller and there was a mix up at the factory. The proper pivot mount is being shipped asap...

Wow, thats good to hear. Assuming the new part fixes everything, I think I might have to order myself a pair.  | ||

Original ebay listing has ended, but there are 2 of the same listed: both from hong kong, one for $25, the other for $70!!!!! Is it some kind of crazy world we live in, or what?! | ||

"Once I get the chink levers installed I'll report back with a comparison." Is it just me or was this comment made in complete bad taste... | ||
| Joel |
Very bad taste. | ||
| Pkforbes87 |
My apologies. I'm not easily offended and some times mistakenly expect others to be the same. I have no ethnic disdain toward my yet-to-arrive Chinese-American levers. (Message edited by pkforbes87 on December 02, 2010) | ||
| Serialk |
Its from "shinetrust company". They have allot of fairings on ebay. I was assured that the proper pivot is being sent out today. Will post pictures once they are on the bike. For $42.80 a pair. I don't mind waiting for this piece to come in. These are chunky and look amazing! |
