the2wheels foldable / adjustable levers
I found these levers on ebay. They look like a good idea to me, idk how good quality they are though. and they're pretty cheap at $75 (including shipping). Anyone tried these yet?

I did some google searching and came across some interesting threads about the2wheels levers. I found one guy who said "The machining looks top notch and the finish is flawless. They fit like a glove. I am very satisfied."and another said "I defy you to tell the difference between them and Pazzo..!!". I haven't found any bad reviews about them other than the occasional blemish, which they said the company immediately shipped them a replacement. I think I'm gonna go ahead and order these as soon as I get my bike, which hopefully will be very soon. Then I'll make a write up for anyone else interested.
other quotes from the above links: "To be honest, I had Pazzo's on my last bike and I'll be hard pressed to tell the difference in both looks, and quality of manufacture." "at this stage, I can highly recommend them to anyone thinking about buying a set."

Do they make a folding non-length adjustable version? Or better yet for a question, who makes the cheapest decent foldable lever?

I haven't been able to find a foldable, non extendable one on their ebay store / website. If I'm getting levers I would rather have both features, then I get the best of both worlds. The 250r i got my eyes on right now has pazzo levers already, so I won't replace those if I end up with the bike.

There is another company that sell levers. I looked at these first before I ordered from the2Wheel, however they cost more.

those don't look like they r as good quality as the2wheels either. I think the others r too plain and boring looking too.

I saw some pics of some on a ZX6 someone got from bike-z. They looked very nice and he gave them a good review.

It's for both levers, if you look at the first box with the pics and info on the left, it says it's for 2 levers

so did someone order these yet? I'm curious to hear what a forum member here thinks of the quality/build, before i bother making an e-bay account and get them to send me a pair here to Bali.
i just e-mailed them, to see if i can purchase the levers directly without having to register an ebay account, cant be bothered having yet another account somewhere that i will basically never use again.

Slingshot Racing Adjustable Levers!
they also look really good, but the price is almost three times more than these from the2wheels making it hard to compare the two. i wouldn't mind getting the Emissions Block Off Plate though, but to ship it here to Bali probably costs more than the piece itself, lol... haven't seen it on the indo sportisi website last time i browsed their wares, so i'm assuming that you get them from another manufacturer maybe.

Slingshot is in the USA. I can work something out for you forum guys. But since they are made here they will cost more. Wayan i have to send something over to Santoz. PM me and I will get you hooked up.

I don't get it. If you wreck and break a lever, OK buy a folding one then for next time since you're buying new ones anyway, but what's the point of spending the money beforehand?

the only point why I have levers on my bike is for adjustability at the track.

well some people want adjustable levers because they have smaller hands maybe, while others just like the looks of it (like me)?
so many mods that ppl do could have been done after wrecking the bike, but they want to make the bike look a certain way (make it unique), and this is one such way, hehe

I'd definitely be interested in a write-up on these if anyone ends up buying them.

Hi all. I rarely post (check out that high post count!), but I do stop by when I have time. I ordered a set of the folding/adjustable levers (royal blue/black tab) last week for my '09 250r. I got an email notification they shipped today from Hong Kong (nothing shipped last week due to Chinese New Year). Shipping will take 7-21 days. My bike is going into the shop for a week for 15k check-up and I had planned to have them on before this weekend. I should get the levers in and on the bike by next weekend. I am going from stock levers and I have small hands so I'm looking forward to some adjustability. I'll take some snap shots and feedback after I get them on.

i bought a pair, mainly out of curiosity to compare to those offered by an unamable source in thailand. paid $75 for the pair (fyi, you can get them in 7-10 business days for $100). they should be here next week - i will post a review once i've had a chance to handle them. at less than half the price of those offered by the "company" in thailand - these look to be a great deal.

however, the typos/mistakes make some of the instructions ive read are all that more fun to read! ive seen some that really made me crack up for a good while did you end up returning those levers, or just installed them in the end? mine are still on their way... i hope it doesnt take 21 days to ship here... i believe they sent it out on the 18th of feb, so it should get here in the next week or so if i'm lucky. i just got my translucent Red Cobra brake lines, and they look great. im gonna wait till i get the brake levers and then change them both out at the same time so i don't have to fiddle about with the bike twice. ill try and post some install picks when the time comes.

I ended up keeping them, just waiting for the temp to go down a bit more prior to the install.
I ended up fixing my problem with the levers. I rethreading them to get the screw in all the way and used a larger bearing and stronger spring to prevent shake. Their perfect now. Now I have never had external anodized finishes prior so I will wait to see how the colour holds on them. Cant wait to see your new break lines Gonna do those soon myself. I keep getting coolant leaks on my ride. I just don't get it, first it was a loose hose clamp, then another, and now now I noticed its leaking around the thermo. I took the shop the first time and they told me it was a loose hose clamp, but im starting to think there is a problem with the pressure release system ( I doubt the pressure tested when I took it in, they just took my money ). I should have got the bike new it would have cost a a lot less at this point |

USPS attempted to deliver them today but I wasn't home . I'll pick them up tomorrow and will put up a DIY on Friday. Just as an FYI, I ordered them on Jan 29th so a little less than a months delivery time to CA.

im keeping my fingers crossed, and hoping that shipping it here will be faster, since im still in Asia at least,
my payment went thru on the 17th of Feb, so it could still be 2, or even 3 more weeks before i get it... but it doesn't hurt to just hope that its just gonna be 1 week!

He shipped it pretty quickly, but it stayed in Hong Kong for weeks before it shipped out Feb 16th. Once shipped out of HK, it only took a week to get here.

Picked up the levers from the post office today. I purchased orange/black ones to try to match my preload adjusters. They're slightly darker/more orangey, but matches close enough. I'm installing them tomorrow.

mine just arrived today, finally... my bike is at home, but i can already see that the "dark red" levers that i ordered is not going to match the red of my bike that well...
i think that because of the transparency of the red color, its leaning a little to a pinkish~ color. from their website i selected "dark red" i don't find that the color is matching the description. its hard to tell from the website. in their pictures the dark red levers look darker to me. ill post some pictures of the levers next to my bike when i get home. both levers have a bit of a "loose" feel on the folding part, like Dave was experiencing on his brake lever on the v-log. however i think that once its on the bike and my hands are resting on them i don't think it will be very noticeable~ at least that's what i hope, haha! besides that, i think the qulaity looks fine. considering that it cost under $70 including shipping, i cant complain. i would have had to pay more for something similar from a dealer here. im just hoping that the "red - uh.. pink" levers wont look too bad on my bike peace out~ W.
