ZX6R 2010 levers

Postby Fossi » Mon Jan 31, 2011 9:09 pm

I'm looking to get new levers for my zx6r 2010 and have found these guys on the net. Has anyone purchased from them...? if so are their levers any good.

Pazzo levers seem very expensive, I'm thinking these might do the trick. Feeback would be greatly appreciated.

I got a set for my tracky (ZX9) from "the2wheels" on ebay. They survived a big off at T12 at PI...heaps of gravel rash to LH lever and switch block but not bent or broken and still works well.

Have just ordered a replacement set for the tracky and another set for the roady.

What seems to happen is an established company (ie Pazzos) do the leg work and design and build the levers. Then someone in China buys a CNC machine and a set of Pazzos, and programmes their machine to cut them. R&D costs = 0, hence low price. My only issues have been with the quality of the powder coating, but then again how long do you keep the bike? If the levers scuff in 3 or 4 years is that really a problem? Your call. (I've got Pazzos on the Sprint at the moment).

Or that they had the market to themselves for such a long time and have been caught out rorting it ;)

Ha- Ha- Harley D D D... :kuda: :kuda: :kuda: :kuda:

It's a fair call. Why should a set of levers cost $20 from one mob and $200 from another (btw my Pazzos were on heap big special when I bought them :D )
