Levers; Titax or the like - worth it?

I had Pazzo levers on my R6 and will be getting some for the new bike. I think they feel alot better than standard levers. Never had a go with the Chinese jobbies but from I have never read a bad word against them.

An example of the cheap Chinese adjustable levers. These are full length (although slightly shorter than standard) and not the shortie version. You can quite comfortably brake two or four fingered and finish is good. This particular one is a titanium look finish.

I think they're worth their weight in gold but didn't buy them for the tart angle, I have tiny hands and it's made life a lot easier. I got the genuine pazzo ones and I love them.

chinese ones are fine and i personally think they come out the same factory but pazzo specify the anodised finish. mine are going a little sun bleached and now looking slightly purple (were black) but who cares as they do their job and do it well. the fit and feel is great with no problems.

Personally I have black stubby pazzos on my sprint, quality is exceptional.

It was the blacking that put me off the cheaper ones tbh, if I had self colour ones I'd consider some cheapos.

I wouldn't mind some cheapos for my drz tbh.

I had a pair of shorty levers for my SV. Both were ebay cheapos and both were really exceptional quality for the price compared bigger names. However, whatever you go for, make sure it includes the clutch switch tab. I spent ages ( And a lot of money ) trying to troubleshoot issues with my bike only to read another thread stating the exact issues I was having.

Which of the ebay chinese jobs have the clutch switch tab?

I'm not sure to be honest. To be fair, I contacted the seller to let him know of the issue and he is now talking with the manufacturer to get it sorted which is more than I expected of him.
I have seen the switch tab some GSXR's with Pazzos so I'd imagine they'd be the same for the SV. If I was going to spend that money though I'd go for ASV's.

Ta for reply, its the only thing thats put me off the cheap ones the clutch switch problem. Pazzos or asv would be nice but i would be spending just for looks as the oem do the job ok and im tight as.

I can fully recommend replacing the brake lever - I only two finger brake so having a short lever makes a lot of difference. This is the seller I got my levers from: the2wheels. Here's a link to just the brake lever:

I can fully recommend his products (Apart from the issue with the clutch lever, which I'm hoping he'll sort out soon) the quality is better than some of the other cheap ones I've seen. I've been using mine everyday for about 8 months and not one sign of anodizing rubbing off.
