Which Shortie Levers?
 

Was thinking on getting some shortie levers for the sv. CRG or Pazzo? That is the question. Damn CRG's are expensive.

I like the CRG levers but Pazo's are a damn near perfect copy of them for $35-$40 less.

I was thinking the same for my 02 gsxr.

Why, you want it to be harder to brake and clutch?

Remember, the shorter the levers, the less 'leverage' (duh) there is so it takes a harder squeeze to do the same. On the flip side, since the lever is shorter, the end of it moves a shorter distance. This makes small modulatons in braking or clutch engagement more difficult as the will happen faster.

Is it really that bad? I never use the clutch to upshift, just for 1st and downshifting. Braking I only use my middle finger covering with my forefinger. I'm more concerned with ripping off the stock levers and potentially causing other damage in the event of a get off.

I have been using Pazzo's since I had my VFR. When I got my 919, it was the 1st thing I ordered. With shorter fingers, I get more leverage on the levers. I have no problem braking with 1 or 2 fingers, and the clutch feel is awesome.

That makes no sense ...unless your stock levers have zero adjustability. Adjust the stock levers inward. :ride:

I stayed with standard length levers, just my preference. Some guys say they like the shorty levers since they may fair better in a lowside. Who knows?

Why get $$$$ levers for a "track" bike??? The thing is most likely going to hit the ground.....I like the fact that $30ish gets me going again.

cakey..i got the crg's i love em...

It makes sense if the Pazzo's have more adjustment then stock....

JOE, PITTBULL doesn't make levers???? I like the CRG ones.

I Have Pazzos on my 02 750... Love em!

With stock levers about 1 inch from the end put a cut in the back side of the lever, about 1/4 of the way through the lever. This way it's pre stressed and now has a break point. The end wil snap off and you still have a lever.

This works most times except when don't let go of the bars and you bury the bar end and lever in the clay at VIR.

the ladies seem to like the Pazzos, for me, thats all it took.
