I ordered some levers from Fleebay as they looked OK and were so cheap that if they had been crap it wouldn't have mattered. I was curious to see what turned up..
Couple of weeks later they arrived and I have to say I'm really impressed! They look well made, are perfectly put together, the adjusters operate well, they were easy to fit and work well on the bike.
All this for what was £16 for the pair I think!
Anyway, anybody thinking of new levers could do worse than these.

Cool find. Let us know how they hold up. Are they red adjustments or is it more of an orange? you know how we all have to color cordinate

These looked nice BUT DID NOT FIT my 1290! No more playing eBay guinea pig for me.

I have used fleebay levers for years and they do the job, just tighten the bolts that hold them together.
I would have used Pazzo levers of they weren't so overpriced..... Now the loose their customers to China instead

I think the 990 and 1290 have completely different master cylinders and trying to bodge levers from one onto the other is a seriously poor idea!! I see from the link that they were advertised for both which I don't think can be right. Can't send stuff back to China so it's a problem.
I'm sure 1290 versions do exist, just put the 990 ones on fleabay, recover what you can and get some made for the 1290, preferably that somebody here has already fitted, to replace.
Mine fitted at least as well as the OE on the 990.

Bought the same levers as "ABC". Arrived today and took me all of 30 minutes to install. Look great.

If you buy cheap ones, don't take em inodized black, theyll fade within a month (they become bronze).
