Are they the correct ones for your bike? How would you know?
Cheaper sometimes has it's challenges. Good luck with that.

Measure the new ones compared to the originals with a caliper and see what the difference is. Could be that the chrome on the brake and clutch perch needs to be sanded down a bit. Or just take a little off the new levers.

Mine look just like those and fit perfect. Without actually looking at the bike i cant see if you are putting them on right or if something you have installed is in the way ???

russell i only tried to install the clutch lever, it was to thick to slide the new lever into the slot. the old lever slides right in and even has a little wiggle room

Are there part numbers stamped on them?

With Pazzo & FP Tacticals, we have part numbers stamped on the perch (the black part) ensure we got the right item.

Take a measurement of the old and new ones.

Maybe all you have to file them down a bit.

Mine fit fine.....try spreading the area that receives them slightly.

File, dremel, or carefully a belt sander......Don't think I would pry too much! Keep us updated!
