    So many out there to choose from. I was thinking of going with CRG levers but don't want to have them snap apart every single time the bike goes down.

    What have you guys used with good/bad experiences with?

    Stick with a brand like CRG and not ebay knock offs. I've seen all kind of strange things happen with knock off levers. Brake levers are kind of important. OEM or good aftermarket stuff.

    I have CRG levers on my bike. I really like their adjustability and they're pretty durable too. They have a little rash on them from my crash at Putnam but are still functional, which is what really matters in my opinion!

    I have some Italian Azannos on my GSXR with the remote adjuster and I love them...

    You simply cannot beat the quality and adjustability of CRGs in my experience.

    Spendy but worth it.

    I really like the ones that came with my brembo master cylinder. they fold in case of a fall..... but im opting not to find out how they work when crashed as long as I can:thumb:

    Well after much searching and looking at everyone's recommendations I went with the ASV F3's (long set). Seemed to be a nice mix of price and warranty. $162 and a 3 year warranty unbreakable or they will rebuild them for free. Hope I like them. :)

    Good call. Super adjustable, good feel and bulletproof! I have the short ones and they have survived 4 crashes, the long ones may suffer more dammage in a crash but the guarente helps. :thumb:

    Lightech makes some really nice levers - used by the Yamaha MotoGP team. Started using them this year. So far, they've been great.

    My $35 ebay knock offs from "thetwowheels" have survived 3 crashes so far and are still fully functional, even the adjusting knobs still work! All 3 crashes I had rash on the levers after and they haven't bent or broken yet!

    I have to say the knock offs have been good to me also @ $36 shipped.

    I have ASV on my Buell 1125r- they work great. I've also used CRG on other bikes. If I were in the market again, I would buy whichever of those two brands I could find for the best price.

    Yeah what he said.. I have ridden a few bikes with Pazzo levers and while they are super nice they are too rich for my blood. I think there are better things to spend money on.
