Hello,

I just wanted to point out that on the Spanish Buell forum a few who have bought the chinese levers have broken the clutch cable it seems you need to grind down a bit the lever to prevent the cable rubbing on it as it seems it's not centered.

Just in case any one is planning on buying a pair.

Thanks for the heads up. I have a set on the way from Hong Kong now.

I remember when things from Japan were crap, now its stuff from China

Jap Crap...remember that saying? It wasn't about motorcycles back in the old days. In the 60's Honda could have been an American company they were so well built.

I refuse to buy my kids anything from China because they are always disapointed when the item breaks or falls apart. Now I pay 5 times as much to be sure they arent disapointed, I wish there was something in the middle.

I bought CRG expensive but well worth their price, and you can buy the separate pieces.

Here's a thought, why are we buying China levers (in this case)?

Maybe because a simple clutch lever was not available or on back order?

They are not stock levers, they are a fancy looking (even in pretty colors) lever that is adjustable, and some even swing when dropped.

They're CRG knock offs. I bought them because I wanted shorty levers to fit behind my bark busters better. I didn't get genuine CRG levers because sooner or later I am bound to tip my bike over, and I'd rather break a $12 lever than a $60 lever. : )
