Basically, I was looking for some cheap levers to replace my well worn set on the Ninja trackbike. So, after a lot of surfing on fleebay I purchased some adjustable levers (Pazzo look a likes).
Taking my chances as they are from China I thought I might end up with 2 table spoons welded on a hinge, but to my surprise they look like the real deal.
They came well packed/protected in a box with each lever wrapped in bubble wrap.
I have a set of original Pazzo’s on the R6 and they look identical, from the grain off the surface to the thumb adjusters.
Adjusters are smooth although one is slightly smoother than the other, but that just me being fussy
Fitting was as easy as the Pazzo’s and they feel just the same.
The levers are in fact called Titax, we are a supplier of them, and we do very well with them, its what i have on my speed triple, i really like them:)
was looking at these and wondered whether they would be any good or just bend first time used in anger, last thing you want is them giving up in an emergency, do they have a good solid feel about them ?
Titax aren’t the alternative ones we were (originally) talking about.
I’d be VERY surprised if Pazzos are actually made in Canada, although that would be one of the few legit reasons to charge 4x the amount as production costs there would be mental.
One day I’ll try grabbing my lever as hard as I can and let you guys know if it snaps off!
Pazzo are definitely made in that Canadia, and they do use US/Canadian materials, rather than import from other countries.
Having said that, the ones from china are fine quality - I’ve seen them, and know of lots of people using them with no problems.They are CNC machined rather than cast, so porosity won’t be a problem from poor casting techniques / poor quality material.
I’ll probably buy a set at some point over the winter - they can’t be worse than the cheapo cast levers that come as OE…
