aftermarket levers reviews + pics

If you are looking for aftermarket levers with quality and good price
check it that.


Waiting for 5 days business , i finally received my levers from my buddy Romain who is a biker as well , has a shop in France ( Toulouse is the town ). Let's support a biker from oversea ...

====> http://avdb-moto.fr/shop/en/ <====

I got the long levers , blue color and titanium color for the adjustable knob.

here are the pics








I like the extra bearing to easily adjust the lever.


and , just compare with the OEM brake lever (2012 zx6r )



these levers are awesomes ... ( they are from China , to not lie to you, but quality is here compares to the others made in China )

This weekend I will put them on my bike and I will take pics with some reviews

Cool! I'll have to look and see if they come in purple and consider them for my bike.

I bought a set of the Hong Kong levers like this in Orange for my SV1000 years ago. The orange stays bright orange to match my paint but the black part will fade to a goldish color if left in the sun, IE parked outside. Great quality, no issues whatsoever.

Got about the same ones off eBay for both my EX500, and Ninjette in colors for $22.00 USD, I got the short style.

No problems or issues with either set.

The color for SERENITY I picked was titanium levels, silver adjuster. SERENITY is always outside, except for winter storage, sun fading does happen, but not too bad. Considering the cost, I'm not unhappy.

Yes black color tends to fade.

I'll post up a pic of them tomorrow. In my case, the black color faded to match the orange almost perfectly! For $35 shipped to my door, I ain't complaining!

My picture, the first one shows the adjuster set on "3" which is where it's set. Second one you can see slightly the color difference when the adjuster moved.

I see it . You might try the levers from avdb-moto , they give you a warranty for that.

The ones i introduce has the extra bearing to help the adjustable knob to change position easily. They have 3 bolts instead 2 bolts on the lever.

I personally think this is adding a lot of complexity for something mostly unnecessary. The resistance in changing the setting comes mainly from having to get over the "teeth" on the adjuster, so having it mate up to a bearing instead of a plain surface doesn't seem like it would help all that much.

I just push my levers forward a hair when I adjust them. That unloads the lever section from the base section, and there's no resistance whatsoever.


Here are my Chinese eBay shorties. I installed them early January 2014, and I'm still happy with them.
