I'm with Jonno.

I always think that if I've spent $10k plus on a bike, saving $100 to put cheapo stuff on doesn't make sense to me, but it's every man to his own.

They certainly look OK. The only other set I've seen looked OK but they were as sloppy as hell in the mountings

Some very high quality us made flip levers. All the good stuff comes from the us. Like jeeps and toy haulers. :D

Hmmmm? So its a man thing then? :P
And the corollary - I spent just over $2k on my bike so spending an extra $170 to put expensive stuff on doesn't make any sense to me ...


Lol @ the merkin

What's the difference between putting $30 Chinese levers on, and replacing OEM ones with $30 OEM ones? Does that mean the OEM levers come from China (although judging from ebay I would suspect Taiwan), or that the quality of Pazzo levers is 6x better than anything else? Is a $30 Taiwanese OEM lever better than a $30 Chinese lever?
Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handlebars to the saddle.

45 years since 1965, wow it seems like yesterday. Time flys when your having fun.
Good picture of George W. Monkey. What scares me most is not him but the fact that the U.S. public elected that dumb son-of-a-bitch twice. Perhaps there is no hope for the U.S. after all. Time for me to move to Australia. But I guess in reality I cannot desert a sinking ship. The biggest problem I see with the U.S is religious fanatacism. It would be worse than the Taliban if not for existing laws.
Back to Chinese stuff. My issue with it is the quality control but I am not one to say that people that use Chinese shit on their motos are wrong, I am only concerned about the safety issue. We lose to many riders anyway and don't need mechanical failure added to the formula. I'm a shitty rider anyway and I don't need some crap part adding to my own incompetence. Cheers. :kuda:
