I got some similar and the quality is superb but it was not the ones you are looking at

Some poeple will say "dont trust cheap levers" but i got some and they are fine, the OE levers are cheap if you ask me, so all this get pazzo (rip off price) is just name snobbery if you ask me
 
I bought the same as BB when he posted over on AF1 forum

the quality is very good...you'll be surprised i'm sure

Here Here, I have 2 pairs of these, shortie type and standard, Look the business and have do the job they are supposed to.
 
Theres usually second hand levers on ebay at a good price. i got a pair of short titax levers for about £60 in black, look the business and feel great.
 
Hi Dave, I've just had a pair from mc' and they are bloody good at any price let alone £30. Took just over a week to get here, just have to stick them on the bike. I'm now looking at rear sets, if they're as good as the levers we'll do well.

Cheers.

Im scared of fitting aftermarket levers.

I recall a thread on here where 2 people had fitted them and the front brake locked on whilst riding.
I know its not common and other factors may have caused this but for me, I will stick with the stock levers
 
I'm sure I saw RSV rear sets, maybe they will be relisted when new stock arrives. As for stock levers, care should be taken but nobody uses stock gear for racing and thats for a reason.

Cheers.

If you have never used shorties you dont know what you are missing

Get a test ride on a bike with them and see what I mean

Short levers give you way more feel and control

What happens is the ball on the end catches on your last finger so your fingers dont slide

With the original levers your hand moves along the curved section taking away some of the feel

The benelli tnt we had was a really stiff pull for the clutch but after fitting shorties it was a doddle even for the wife

Some people have had locking up problems with the chinese levers aswell as tolerance problems but many have got them and they have fitted great as my m8 did on his gsx1400, they are hard to tell the difference from pazzo's

Personally I stick with titax as my wife rides both our biks and Im happier knowing the quality of levers ive used for years
 
Ive got the shorties from Hing Kong on my 02 RSV Mille & they feel great, work perfectly & look the buysiness. Ive had these cheapy type on all my old Blades & my CB1300 prior to the Mille.
When i got my old 600 Hornet it already had Pazzos fitted. I loved the feel of them, the pulling of the shorties was pretty much effortless & as said by Dynamo your fingers dont slide. Then when i got my first Blade i wanted shorties again but wasnt going to be fleeced for Pazzos so i went down the cheap & cheerful Hong Kong route & to be honest the only difference was the hole in my wallet!

Thats not the levers...its the way some poeple try and fit them.....a guy on af1 was having fitting issues and the brake not releasing.....AND he had pazzo levers
 
I'm with dynamo on this one, i love short levers ! my last two bikes and all my future ones will wear them
