Not sure if anyone ever mentioned it here, but VFR750 brake levers are interchangeable with the CBR1000F - which means YES! A whole world of Chinese adjustable levers are available!

I was a little sceptical about the quality of the Chinese brands but decided to give them a try.
After choosing my colour combinations and adding my personal lettering I waited for the extended delivery date to the UK.
When they arrived early and unboxed they did look pretty damn good I had to admit. The simple fitting followed with everything aligning and the adjusters worked perfectly.
The finish has not deteriorated at all and would definitely not rule out further purchases from China. Not bad at all.
Just my experience.
Best of luck.

currently just browsing here since selling my "F" but a st1100 st1300 and a vfr800 crossrunner x later, they all get changed to chinese levers.
iv bad arthritis in my hands and it brings the levers in, theyre still on my 1000f that a buddy bought, and thats 7-8 yrs back, and they've never discoloured or been an issue.
.
i get loads out of china, lights, screens, remotrs and relays for my garage, ..
just as long as the covid19 corona virus doesnt come to me in the post.

lots of shops repackage the chinese stuff anyway and give it a 5-600% mark up. so more fuel money for me. lol
