Wow Dub - mine look NOTHING like that. Zero problems with the black.

Do you ride gloveless maybe? oil from the hands perhaps? I have no idea just a guess.

 

Nate do I look like a squid! Never once rode gloveless. I think it is just the sun. The bike sit out in the sun all day when I'm at work.

 

This thread inspired me to try some cheapies. Found some "Titax" levers online for my bike in gold w/ red switch. Some googling makes 'em sound somewhat legit, but I'm not expecting much. If these crap out on me I'll just go with Pazzos.

 

I bought the same shorty levers as CBRfenatic93 off ebay but in red. Love em. Unless you plan on spending a few hundred for the brembo levers with holes to reduce drag (only ones i c worth it) order these and save $100+. Took me about 20min to install and i was being difficult and wouldnt take off the lines for a sec. Feel Great, Look Great, and Cheap!!!

 

Squid.

 

Chris - Has your levers faded anymore? I know mine sure has.

Nate - Has yours faded at all yet?

Anyone else who bought these have this issue yet?

 

Update - mine still look just as good as they did day 1.

No fading. No color change.

 

Ya man they look pretty crappy compared to when i first bought em. Ive grown to like em. Ill get em powdercoated one day. I had a picture but i deleted it i guess so ill put one up later today.

 

 

I had this same issue with fitment... I just drilled it out and now it fits, all tho there is some wiggle, thinking about getting a washer and maybe putting that in between the top of the level and stock mount maybe?? Also, I didn't line the hole up on the inside of the brake lever and nearly locked my front up while driving, removed it, rotated the inner part, and fixed it... love these things, got black/silver
