Was wondering if anyone has put these on their bike. Hows the fit?

Yes, I have them. I ordered them about a month and a half ago. They took a few weeks to get here but were exactly as described. Fit was perfect and function is great. Unfortunately, I can't really compare to other levers of similar style because I have no experience with them. I use the clutch lever on 4 and the brake lever has to be adjusted all the way out for my liking. That's my only real "complaint" to speak of, which is the lack of usable adjustability for the brake lever.

I've been very happy with mine thus far. I was lucky and bought them at starting bid on an auction for $25. You can't go wrong with them for $45 shipped to your door : )

i see peoples arguement about buying american or buying from the original manufacturer, but some of us cant afford $200 on a pair of levers. I mean come on thats a little extreme for such a simple product. its not like a master cylinder or ecm. in the long run its not boosting the performance of bike by any great lengths. i just cant justify spending that much on something thats gonna snap the next time my bike tips over.....God forbid,knock on wood, i really hope i didnt just jinx myself haha

I would hesitate to half faith in a company that can't spell the model correctly, they put that the levers fit the 1125RC.

LBQ, I've seen on the XB forums guys speaking of having to "grind" down the brake lever to get an appropriate fit...is this the same for us or do they just fit perfectly on the 1125?

And what is the "really" all about in the "no difference in them really"?

Thanks : )

Drawkward - I'll buy them from you if you'll take $40 shipped.

That way my money stays in the US... : )

Sorry Zac, that's half the price and pretty ridiculous. I'll sell you the brake lever for 40 shipped...how's that sound?

I just bought a pair for $58.97 delivered to my door. Clutch lever is a separate auction and with combined shipping only $1.00 more. I like to consider myself a patriot but for the $120.03 difference from the $179.00 Pazzo's, I'll spend the difference on other American products. Besides Pazzo's are made in Canada. And from other posts I've read on here, Pazzo stole their design from another manufacturer. Gotta love capitalism and the free enterprise market!

Mine showed up yesterday.
Appear to be solid workmanship. Fiddled with them for a while before installing them - just wanted to see how the tolerances were etc etc etc.

Both levers installed in about 7 minutes total tonight. Going for a ride tomorrow with them installed. Unfortunately, it's a ride to the storage garage for winter! Ack!
