I ordered 2 sets of levers from Australia (dispatched from China) 3 days ago, 1 pair for me, the other for Hinckley, they're here now! The levers are beautiful. Thanks for the recommendation from Mixo61, beer coming your way!

Let us know how they work out. I bought some cheap chinese pazzo knockoffs a couple of months ago. Probably the same fabricator as yours but mine are the cheaper non-folding, non-extending models.

I had to piss about a bit getting the shitty aprilia front brake light switch working correctly since it had a mm or two of freeplay in the plastic switch mounting (now held in snugly with some silicon gel).

And if I recall my other concern was that while the brake lever reused the bushing from the original lever, the clutch lever pivot hole was simply drilled out with no bushing at all so will probably loosen up over time.

Still, have had them on for about 1000km with no problems and for 45 euro I'm not complaining.

I'll be fitting them tonight so will let you know how it goes. Didn't hear anything from Mixo61 so assume they're ok.

Will be interesting how they look on the bike. My customer said he prefers Hinckley's red levers to my gold but of course, he's wrong!! :lame:

Cheeky bugga! Mine are fitted now. You need to use the existing dowels from the original levers. The clutch adjustment feels a little vague and harder to get the freeplay "feel" but they fit well and look great!

Moi cheeky - never :rolleyes:

Easy fit then? With the blades retracted are they the same length as pazzo stubbies?

Mine fit and feel great, better feel and reach to the clutch in particular.
I see they now have a listing on ebay with the Tuono Logo on it the same as the one on the bike http://global.ebay.com/TuonoV4-Logo-For-2011-Aprilia-TUONO-V4R-Short-Adjustable-Brake-Clutch-Levers/120813178281/item

They do look nice.

I have no doubt most of these chinese levers are made in the same factories as Pazzo.

Folding levers are also practical as anyone who has had a minor drop in the middle of nowhere will confirm!

They look great super quality. Cheers for getting mine for me - much appreciated :worship:

Those transfers we were looking at are 899912 off side and 899902 near side, no idea of the cost but they are avail to order if it becomes necessary. (black a-PRC ones)

You're welcome buddy, was nice meeting you and having a chat. I'll call the dealers tomorrow and have a chat. There's no point replacing the stickers if the new ones are gonna do the same thing. Worst case, for now, if they get worse I'll just remove them, I know it's an APRC model, don't need to let the world know. lol

It's OK nobody noticed :lol:

Levers fitted - first ride done - the quality is good - not quite up to my old pazzo's but not far off.

The clutch is difficult to get the span right - the stock lever has more travel - my old pazzo's use the same span as the stockers so don't require much adjustment to set up.

I have taken some pics, I'll post them up tomorrow.

Well chuffed with the looks - tarty red bling :lol:
