CNC Levers on eBay
I'm not paying £160 for a set of ASV levers for the CBR but fancy a new set. Are the ones being sold on eBay (not the ones from China / HK) any good?
If anyone can recommend a specific seller let me know.

There's a few threads in the hardware section that'll give you a ton of info on this.
I've got some and I'm very happy with them. |

Re: CNC Levers on eBay
they are all made in China (exept the likes of Gilles) it's just that some companies specify different criteria.

Re: CNC Levers on eBay
i think I have some on my bike, I think the guy i bought the bike from bought some - a mate. They work as they should but i think the anodizing / coloring is starting to wear off now. the bike is up to 13 k. If they are I have no issues with them.

Re: CNC Levers on eBay
I have some nice pretty Chinese ones and they are OK. However, the clutch lever replaced by the Plantec after my bike was run over now has fading anodising on the red parts. They obviously went for the really cheap ones, while I only bought the mildly cheap ones!
Feel is nice and firm though on the brake and the clutch is nice and light still.

Re: CNC Levers on eBay
Had them on my last SV and now have them on my new one.
No reason to buy the more expensive ones. |

Re: CNC Levers on eBay
Hmm some sketchy reports on 600rr.net on these being brittle or not machined to spec - may just leave it for now.
