Thumbs up The cheapest adjustable levers you'll ever find.

Well, I purchased these levers off ebay two weeks ago and they arrived today.

eBay Australia: Buy new & used fashion, electronics & home d

For $32 (AUD), I'm amazed at the quality. They are pre lubricated, very solid, and are evenly coloured. I cannot believe the price of these for what I got. Expected them to be god awful, and I'm genuinely impressed.
Everything fitted the bike perfectly. They weren't some universal knockoffs, specifically made for our bike.

Great to hear! I ordered a pair of those (in standard length) adjustable levers before Christmas and was hoping they would not be junk. Glad to hear you are happy and they fit and work well. Hope to receive mine in from Honk Kong any day now.

The clutch is a bit difficult to install. The wire that moves the clutch needs to be extended a tiny bit. I didn't know how to do it so I just got my dealer to install it. Other than that, they're fantastic.

They were a huge pain to install. But worth it in my opinion.
Turns out the accelerator has lots of notches and ridges that need to be shaved away in order to fit them. Gotta mix a water based lubricant and grip glue together so it slips on easily. The lubricant will evaporate, leaving only the glue.

If you're interested, these are the ones I bought.

Just ordered the same levers in black from USA 's eBay. So cheap I couldn't pass it up. Hope they don't fade, my gas cap is anodized black on my 1000, faded to a goldish color. I don't ever leave the bike outside, and cover the tank when parked too. Faded purely from street time

Make sure you inspect your aftermarket levers, especially if they are no-name brand or made in China. Just a public service announcement, there are lots of others I have seen that have had problems with levers like that. Pazzo and ASV are expensive for a reason.
