I ordered mine friday and have yet to hear back from the seller. Hope this isnt a sign of things to come with this purchase.

I got mine in about a week and a half!, There wasn't immediate contact from the seller, but after 2 or 3 days, it was marked as shipeed along with a tracking number. A few days later the mail man rings the door bell with my levers! I installed them, but now im having clutch issues. Not because of the cheap leverrs it has more to do with the shape and desgin of them. Hopefully some fiddiling with the clutch cable and adjustments shoud put it back on track!

Do you have pics of them installed? Hopefully its just something that can be fixed. What kind of issues?

Well kinda tricky to explain with a keyboard, but I'll try. I usually cover the clutch with two fingers. The after market levers have a larger curve than the OE honda ones. Because of the shape of the new levers, when I pull the clutch in it does not disengage fully. At a stop, when in gear, with the clutch pulled in and no brakes the bike creeps foward. When I adjust the cable at the lever so it doesn't do that, at higher Rpms the clutch slips pretty bad. So far i can get it to either not fully disengage OR not fully engage. I am going to try some adjustments on the motor side this week. Hopefully I will find a happy medium! If not I am going to replace the whole clutch ( it was acting kind of silly before the new levers too).

Damn. Hopefully when i get mine they work good when i put them on. Having them on and not working 100% would drive me crazy to the point i would have to buy another set.
Maybe your clutch is just on its way out the window though too since you were having some issues before the levers.

Either way ill post pics and my review of them once i get mine.

Well, you do pay for what you get. Those cheap Hong Kong knock-offs are cast rather than billet and fade fast due to cheap anodizing.

I'll stick with what I know works and lasts, my new FP Racing levers come with a lifetime warranty.

My new custom FP Racing camo levers...

I also have a set of their "Tactical Bi-Folding" Levers.

I know 9 times out of 10 you always get what you pay for but seeing this thread compelled me to give them a try. If i am unhappy or not satisfied with there quality or performance ill sell them and shell out the cash for the real deal.

Heres my update.

The communication sucks with this seller. The levers are indeed of crap quality and surprise surprise they came in the wrong color. Waste of money, time and patience. I regret buying this cheap made hong kong crap and will now spend more money buying another set that isnt a total p.o.s.

dont buy these garbage levers.!
