[F-106]

Does anyone have the link to the clutch and brake levers some of you got from china? Thanks

I'd guess those are the ones you'd be looking for.

Doug, I take it you like them and they have work for you. No issues on install?  THANKS, BILL

I have a set and like them.  I did have a very minor issue with the brake side. It would not contact the switch so I have to grind off  a little material off the stop plate. Very simple and it  only took a minute.

Hi Bill.  Yes, I like them a lot.  No issuses what so ever.  10 min swap job.

Ditto, I too have had no issues with the install.

Another happy user...sets on the Kawasaki and the Buell went on in a few minutes, fit correctly, and have lots of miles on them with no trouble at all.

Okay dumb question,  what is the benefit over stock levers??

Besides the BLING factor, they feel a little more solid then the factory levers  The leading edge (where your fingers come in contact with the lever) is flat, not rounded like the stock one. And you have a little more adjustment options with these.

They also have that neat "break off point" so if you drop the bike and the lever hits, it breaks (or is supposed to) in a spot that still leaves you with a usable lever.

While I can't comment on the "feel" of the knock off levers I can absolutely tell you that the feel from the original PAZZO branded levers is night and day better than the stockers; solid and precision are just two words that come to mind. Also with the increased adjustment range that these levers provide I find myself tuning them in for the gloves that I wear or even for the type of riding I find myself doing at that given moment whereas with the stockers I just lived with the one position that felt better than the rest.

Having broken a lever on two occasions now, I can vouch that I count myself lucky that when just the round ball end broke off the second time, I was a much happier camper.  Noting the 'notch' in those chinese levers makes me want to break out the dremel and similary notch my other lever, or just cut off the round end altogether.

As I use the inner parts of the lever anyways to brake, having an end whacked off of my lever really doesn't bother me.  I suppose if things started to bind it might become an issue, but I have strong fingers to begin with.  Plus, this protects the handle a bit as the bar end now extends an inch or two past the brake handle.

Damn drunk guy knocking my bike over anyways...

THANKS GUYS!!!!!!!!

+1 to adjustments.  For type of riding, thickness of gloves, hand fatigue from repetitive motion

+1 to the thicker, flatter surface.   Less fatigue, and feels more solid

Add +2 for SHORTY levers for me.  Makes it easier to hold the grip and clutch...or use front brake and throttle simultaneously.  If you are strong enough, one or two fingers should be plenty for street braking.  Keeps your throttle hand from getting pinched by the brake lever sometimes too.

Ditto to all the positive remarks already.
I really like the feel and the extra adjustment, plus easier to "adjust" with the lever.

like to add, I did have to tighten up the screw and nut on the lever a smidgen, they were a little loose for my taste out of the box. (some settling of contents during shipping I guess)
Second, I ordered the black at the beginning of summer, well, the Floor-e-duh sun down here faded them to a really cool looking gunmetal finish, so I don't mind.

Why are these only good for 1992-2006?

Why are these only good for 1992-2006?

That is because the pre-92 did not have adjustable levers; but trust me they will work on all years. I've read of numerous members who put newer style levers on older master cylinders without issue. So these knock off levers will work on all years; they just don't know because they only go by what the book says.
