ASV Levers

Does anyone have ASV levers?
Are they worth the money? I like the thumb wheel adjusters.

Others I'm thinking of are Titax.
Knowing me I'll just get a $40 set of eBay but I thought I'd ask the knowlegable folk here.

Hi mate.  Mine look the same and came from eBay (Factorykiss was the brand).  They were in the $50 price range and have just started to lose some of the gold where the gloves rub them.

I have the ASV's.  Black with CF inserts. Well made and feel good. Worth the $$s

I have ones similar to the titax ones, only had them on for a short time but don't have any complaints. The adjusters have a nice firm click when adjusting the lever reach. Got mine from the2wheels.com

Ebay ones all the way.

Yep, changed mine to eBay FactoryKiss units about 3 or 4 years ago, no hassle at all, including no fadding or paint wear.

I don't seem to be able to find these

Sorry, went back and checked and it wasn't FactoryKiss but 2Wheels.  

They're a little cheaper now, I paid $36.99 in 2011, also free shipping worldwide and they take Paypal.  Heaps of colours and options on their site :

Just ordered a set of black and titanium levers.
Thanks guys.

Barry that was USD but $47 AUD is good enough.

It probably was US$, the receipt doesn't say, but being US based more than likely it was.

Depending on how much more Paypal charged on the exchange rate mine was about AU$40 back in 2011.

$47 a pair!!.  I'm crap at shopping, I just paid $500 for one

Thats the lever + master cylinder = $500.

Not a bad price actually.

Lever by itself for about $50 is good aswell.

On Barrys recommendation I ordered a set of these.


They finally arrived after being on back order for 2 weeks.
Black with titanium adjusters.
Communications with the seller was excellent and for less than $50 they look and feel great.
Cant wait to fit them but will probably do that after VAR14

They look the goods 2WA. Changeover looks straightforward.

Thanks Dave they should be good and if I wasn't trying to hang onto my job I'd have a crack at swapping them tonight.
With the mood I'm in I'm sure something will cock up and the bike will be out of action for the trip.
I need this trip so not chancing it! 

I bought a set of these ASV levers from 'the2wheels', they fitted easy and look good quality.
They also have an "undocumented" feature, if you set the clutch lever to pos 1 or 2 the lever does not activate the clutch safety switch so you cannot start the bike.
Took me a couple of minutes to realise what was wrong!

Dont need the clutch pulled in on the VFR

The fact that they do not let the bike start in position 1 & 2 is a useful safety device - anti-theft.

Which for you really makes it only a 5 position lever. False advertising

There's a lever , I thought that was to make it look pretty

Jeez Barry - have you fitted a quickshifter to the outfit!  

Geez, they sure are way cheaper than the OEMs... !

Do they just simply slot right in? NO stuffing around necessary (thinking in particular of the clutch lever assembly)?

You haven't dropped it on the left side have you Stu?

Ha no.

Just a part wore out, and I realised that you can't just replace the small part, but need to replace the entire assembly.....
