What kind of aftermarket levers? - Ducati.ms

spindrift · Sep 21st, 2011, 7:42 pm

I hear about Pazzo levers, but what's comparable yet cheaper? (I'm not too keen on just buying a random aftermarket Chinese set on eBay) I have one lever that is badly scraped after a low-speed oil-slick wipeout, and figure I might as well get a matching set that looks really sweet and all...

Thx for any thoughts...

Long story short, I bought a knock off CRG lever from a chinese vendor on eBay because i wanted a longer clutch lever vice shorty. I now have a CRG shorty brake lever, and knock off $25 Chinese CNC'd clutch lever.

The Chinese knock off is just as good, if not better than the CRG. No fake. had it for a few months now. Only issue is anodizing is fading in Hawaiian sunlight but so is the CRG.

Exact vendor is "the2wheels"

here is listing info

"CNC Clutch Lever DUCATI HYPERMOTARD 1100 S EVO SP 07-10 (270629250845)"

For $25 try it and prove me wrong. I obviously have no affiliation with the Chinese vendor.

Some of those Chinese factories are cranking out the same parts for "name brands" too. You're sometimes only paying for a NAME.

And BTW the mangler I've seen your bike before but didn't realize it was you when you posted. Honestly you have the most bada$$ Hyper I've ever seen. I like the matching helmet too.

the prices are much more reasonable with these. what would you guys recommend for the length—two finger or regular? i'm kinda thinking of 2 finger for both the clutch and brake levers. got small hands so that adjustability would hopefully help even more. i'm a bit hesitant on the shorty for the clutch since that would make pulling on it slightly harder right? crazy traffic here so it gets tiring after a while you're on your way out of the city.

thanks mangler. myb selecting a lighter colour like silver would minimize the effect of the fading? too bad they don't have a slightly brownish titanium colour.

Don't be surprised about the free play in the levers when you get them. They actually have tighter tolerances than the CRGs that i bought.

As for silver levers, I guess it would work better for fading issues. I still have to powdercoat my lower triple clamp so I'm going to powder coat the levers black as well when i pull the forks to replace the springs and change oil.

Thanks for the compliments. I'm adding the magical racing carbon windscreen since i cut and lowered the headlight. Then i want to paint most of the plastic Matte red.

And, I did not like the shorty clutch lever. But the shorty brake lever is fine.
