Alright, so I decided to swap out the stock levers on my '22 CB650R. I knew I didn't want to go with some cheap Chinese knock-offs from Amazon—we've all heard the horror stories. But at the same time, my wallet wasn't ready for the super high-end stuff. Evotech seemed like the smart choice, a reputable brand that sits right in the middle. I pulled the trigger on their folding lever set, and honestly, I'm a bit torn.
Let's get one thing straight: the quality is there. Compared to the generic junk, it's a night-and-day difference. The machining is tidy, the black finish is clean, and they bolted right up to the bike with zero drama. The folding feature is a nice bit of insurance against a stupid garage tip-over, and they definitely feel more solid in hand than the originals. They look the part, too, adding a bit of an aggressive look to the front end.
But here's my beef with them: the price. We're talking £150 before tax. For that kind of money, I was expecting perfection, and they're not quite there. There's a tiny bit of wiggle in the levers that, for the price, just shouldn't exist. The adjuster for the brake lever works fine, but the "click" feels a bit mushy, not as crisp and satisfying as you'd find on the really premium brands.
It leaves you feeling like you paid for the brand name more than anything else. They're good, solid levers that are a definite step up from stock. No question about it. But they're not £150-great.
So, what's the verdict? If you find them on a good sale, go for it. You'll be happy. But at full price, I'd honestly hesitate. You're in this weird middle ground where you could save a bunch of cash on a slightly lesser-known brand that's probably just as good, or you could throw a few more quid in the pot and get a truly top-tier set. The Evotech levers are good, but for the price, they needed to be great.
I bought the side stand extension from Evotech . I have bought a number of parts from this company and always been very satisfied. However this product does not correctly fit the side stand on my GSA. The retaining bolts appear to be too short or the bottom plate doesn’t fit the foot of the stand. I have had to bodge a solution with other bolts that look dreadful. Extremely disappointed
This is by far the best kit you can buy. Evotech makes a top tier product. The quality is insane and the looks are even better. The black powder-coat looks great on any bike. Install was fairly simple. However the instructions on your website are pretty dull. It would be nice if there was a step by step video for those who are not as handy. Last but not least, is the shipping. This kit came from Evotech to my door is 3 days. That is crazy fast considering my package had to cross the pond! I love knowing that my brand new Ducati is protected while riding. Next product I would like to order is the radiator guard for added protection.
I have a tall Givi tank bag which obstructed any view of my phone for GPS. I scoured the internet years ago and found nothing. I’m gearing up for another trip and couldn’t buy this fast enough. Mounts easily and works flawlessly with my motorized windscreen. And the added quad lock option makes it easier to use. High quality material construction.
