has anyone tried these levers? Broke my clutch lever last week and saw these when i went to order just a cheap replacement. I know theyre Chinese and "you get what you pay for", but only 30 bucks for both levers they dont look bad at all.

The edges of the levers look pretty sharp. Might hurt the fingers after a while if you've got a stiff clutch pull.

I'd say go for it.

I've got some knock off shorty pazzo levers on my road bike and they're fine. They came with like no grease on any pivot points, so just before you install them grease where needed.

As said above, the edges are quite sharp and squared off but i never notice it with gloves on, and you probably wont also, unless your gloves are really thin.

I have a set on my YZ125. The edges are sharper than usual, but I've never noticed it whatsoever while riding - though my clutch is very light. The machined finish looks great, and so far they're holding up just fine. I have heard some complaints about the spring on the brake side becoming weak, and some reckon they don't have enough adjustment, but I haven't noticed either problem. For what you pay, they work just fine.

Whats the big black thing on the bottom?
If theyre too sharp, you could always take a dremel sanding barrel to them. It will give it that "works" look

We bought a set for a spare bike. Work fine except check the nut that holds the pivot spring. Lost it and the spring on one side...

I have some Chinese levers on my mini and have done just that. I'd run them on my 450 if they were like a conventional lever.

Been using a set for a while - 15hrs. Thought about softening the edges, but haven't found the need yet. Survived a few light drops so far.
