Up North.....
I got a pair of the copies on my T and this is the 3rd bike that I have had them on and no worries on my zrx I did 8k on them with no problems every now and then I'd regrease them with some red grease but other than that no worries the ones on my T are the shorties (I prefer the longer type) but they might change my mind after a few runs....

I think they are iro £110 if I remember correctly.
I will not buy anything chinese if I can avoid it. The Crg's are more expensive, but consider this:
you're not putting tat on your pride & joy
they come with a proper guarantee and liability insurance
you are not supporting copyright theft
parts are available which also means that
you can buy the component to make them fit ANY bike you own in the future
they always command a high price on fleabay, so when you're done with bikes you will recover most of your money
cheap copies can spoil your bike and mark you out as a pikey
and finally, replacing a brembo lever with a chinese lever is a backward step imho
but that's just me innit?

Usually at the top of the apple tree.
Naw T, even this pikey fud has the ASV's on his machine. Whit a wid say is that consider a full length clutch lever over the shorty unless yer've got very small hands, A've got to lift the remaining digits off the grip when using the clutch. The brake only needs one finger to lock it up and yer don't need tae take the others aff the grip.
Jist mo, but yer only get whit yer pay fir.

That's a good point Al, I have tried a full length one on the clutch side, like you mentioned there. I took it off the Hornet, it looked kinda wierd, but in fairness worked ok. Trouble was, it I'd have left it that way, i'd have ended up with a shortie clutch & a full length brake on the Honda..:lol:
Anyhooos, now that I have my new all singing all dancing german clutch slave cyl, the short lever is no longer a problem, I can now operate it with one finger.
NOT! :lol:

I have Chinese levers but only because my Brother in law bought them for me after using the same version on his own bike for the last year.
Almost everything is now made in china even stuff advertised as uk made is manufactured in china and assembled here ,the issue is not quality its quality control as you have to check everything to make sure the factories have not strayed from the design brief

Well I don't have direct fitment experiences but I was told that is the same lever fitment on ALL tuono generations (and DD and Shivers)
But I will bow to greater knowledge
