    I bought these Pazzo copies on Ebay there only 38.95 total shipped for both, nice machine work, perfect fit and they feel nice with plenty of adjustability. They look pretty nice thou my camera sucks.

    Interesting, thanks for the post. I checked with the seller regarding where they are manufactured. Good news in that they wrote back noting that these are made in the USA.

    If I could ask, how is the level of finish?

    That steering damper mounted to the fairing mount bracket is scary... You better hope that thing never actually has to do it's job, it's going to hammer that mount and it will be quite possible that it will bind or jam the steering. Unless, of course you, don't have any damping dialed into it and it's only for looks.

    Seriously, these are made in the US? I thought all the ones on Ebay were made in China.

    If this is true, I may have to spring for a set.

    I just looked over their site and there is no way that is an American based company. The syntax and word usages are wrong in too many places.

    It won't be going far the TIG welder worked it's magic below. I know I tested one before on my built GS1150ES, came down hard from a wheelie at 90 mph and the right handle bar snapped off.

    I've run over 90 mph off road with my DRZ400E with the HESD on full damp thru some rough desert and the pin style mount I made has held up with no bending.

    My bad! I wrote to two companies yesterday. I mistakenly thought the 'lever company' wrote.

    It is a matter of personal choice but I try to purchase from companies that offer a quality product and as such charge a fair price. These levers are priced way too low for me to be comfortable with purchasing them.

    I know this sounds daft in some ways but warning flags go up when items, like these levers, are priced too low.

    I simply don't understand how these can be manufactured and shipped for $38.

    No disrespect to the OP but I think I'll keep saving my pennies for a set of Pazzo levers. I like the philosophy of Pazzo and am happy to support them.

    Darn, I thought it was too good to be true. I'd love to have a set, but $180 for levers is a little too much for me, especially since I'd like to try the short levers but not sure if I'd like them. But then again, the stock levers are over $70 for the pair. Decisions, decisions.

    Totally get what you are saying.

    Pazzo levers are the cat's pajamas but you have to order up when purchasing.

    If you have time, check out the 'Why Us' section on their website.

    If you feel safe with it, that's all that matters.

    Far as aftermarket levers goes, I just cant get what I read about a road-racer having an aftermarket lever break off in his hand in the heat of battle. He is now in a wheel chair but still races, was in Road-Racing World not too long ago.

    I put a set on my 919 last month. Incredible product for the price. Finish and quality are great and they work really well. They provide better leverage and the adjustability is really handy.

    I think mine were $24.99 plus $15 for shipping. They are definitely not made in the USA. There is no way they could be sold at that price with North American wages.

    There are a number of people who have used the Pazzo's and these and they can't tell the difference. After they tried these they didn't bother with the Pazzo's any more.

    For reference, I heard back from the eBay seller. The levers are made in the R.O.C.

    There are so many different ones on ebay. Shorty's, Standard and Adjustable. I have bought two sets one was cheaper and you can see all the tooling marks another set was much better and they were about $50.

    I have a set from them for my 6th Gen. They look great and fit well. Definatley the way to go as they will be cheaper to replace if the bike falls off the stand again.
