Changing Out Your Levers

[ibanezbtb72]

Okay I have a general question and I am looking for some feedback. Why does one change out their clutch and brake levers. Is it for looks or is it functionality? I have the 08 Hayabusa and I see no reason to change my levers. Am I missing out on something by staying stock?

shorty levers are more comftorable by pazzo

Both looks and functionality.

I think it is just for the looks. I had them changed on a Gixxer 750 and didn't notice a difference.

mostly looks in my case... (clutch and brake worked just fine with the OE levers, the Pazzo just looks better IMO)

Shorty's could be a mixed bag for some.. if you spend a lot of time in traffic, that short clutch lever could leave you wanting a rest I bet..

+1 I just bought my CRG's and went with the long clutch lever and short brake. Works like a charm if the asymmetry doesn't bug you.

I love my Pazzo shorties. At first, I was skeptical - thinking that it would be more difficult operating the clutch lever with the short levers - but after riding with them, I actually like them better than the long levers! I think it's easier... Just my

i think short clutch would be good if you don't have any traffic jams but last time i got stuck my forarm was killing me

Riders Customs is shipping me my Black on Black shorties today... for my 08 Black beauty...lol...

ASV. I wrote a review of these levers and the company which makes them.

I have ASV Black/Shortys on both my 06LE and the Gen2. Functionality and looks, easy mod; whatever is your flavor...

Here's a pic of me and the chief inventor and owner of ASV, Bob Morales.

Good luck, brother...

the ASV looks pretty stocky compared to the Pazzo.. cost? I like the "lean" look myself

They retail for $250/pair. I got them as schwag for writing the article.

Being a talented writer (as I've been called here on the .oRg), has it's perks.
