My bike's coming up for it's MOT, which means I've had the chazzos on for about a year. The anodizing still hasn't rubbed off and I still haven't died. Quite honestly, why people are still paying Pazzo money for what is a fairly rudimentary piece of kit utterly baffles me.
I can recommend CRG levers as well. Picked up a set for my 848 from the Ducati dealer when I visited New York last year and have been impressed with them so far.
