I like them, especially how you can get the engraving on the left lever.
Looks very nice, I am so thankful I could move my levers from my 05 to my 09. I have my screen name engraved on mine as well.
Looking good, I like the engraving

Really like the look of those.
Never rode with these type of levers, only grabbed the brake and clutch lever on a bike fitted with them, they felt strange after the stock ones, also I got the impression that because the brake lever was shorter you would have less leverage and the front brakes would not be as powerful.
Please advise.
Best regards Stretch.

those look good
You will be very happy with Pazzo's. I have used the Pazzo Shorty's for years and love them.
There are assets in the shorty's. Less apt to break or be damaged as well as less likely to crunch your outside fingers in a crash if you brake with two fingers .
The quality is second to none and I'm a life long customer.

This is my opinion only. You will not have less leverage. I have the shorties on mine and love them. Combine with some braided lines and good pads, its effortless two finger braking. Plus, you can always get at least 3 or 4 fingers on them if need be. But I rarely do.
I have shorties and prefer them.
It's easy to use one or 2 fingers on the brake and clutch.
There is no difference in leverage/stopping power either.
I have both levers adjusted as far from the bars as they'll go. I can 1 or 2 finger the clutch without crushing the fingers on the grip.
I also have ss lines(great improvement in brake feel) and ebc HH extreme propads. I can do a 1 finger stoppie easily, again without crushing the fingers on the grip.
It all depends in what you like/riding style, but they are definately worth riding with for a while and giving yourself some time to get used to.
I find the lever angle itself to be more comfortable in my hands than stock too.
Just one more thing to make the bike fit ME personally better.
More comfortable on the bike equals more confidance and control.
+1 I agree. Pazzo & CRG's are pretty much identical except for name and both are top notch. But put either up against any of the knock off's and you can definitely feel the difference in quality which reflects in the price. Also ASV C5's are a top notch lever also, I run all 3 brands but do have to say that the ASV's to me feel even smoother, I think it is just the curvature of the lever itself that fits my hand better.
Sorry I went off topic but they look good and I'm sure you'll enjoy them. Also how do you like the grips? Genuine D3's?

Love the D3's as well. Much more comfy.
To the gentleman with the leverage question....no issue. In fact, I'd commit to saying at least 10xbetter than stock.
Most bang for the buck mod I've done yet. U don't realize how bad the stock levers truly feel until u get a set of these. Also, from the base of my palm, to the tip of my longest finger is about 8". Big hands with shorties, no problem. All the way out on the brake, 1 in on the clutch works great for me. Amazing what a difference these levers make.

Black on black shorties, been running a set for 6 years and 60K miles

In reference to the leverage question between shorties and stock length levers (of the same manufacturer), the technical answer is that there is a difference. A longer lever will provide more leverage, assuming that the pressure applied at the end of lever. That's a simple law of physics.
In a practical application you may not notice a difference if you're used to using two fingers and typically apply pressure to the middle of the lever. So if you apply pressure in the middle of a stock length lever, it translates to near the end of a shortie so no practical difference in leverage.
However, if you have a wider grip and are used to applying pressure closer to the end of a stock length lever and/or you use a full four finger grip, you will notice a difference if you move to a shortie.
I'm one of those who has a wider grip and use two fingers closer towards the end of a stock length lever. I tried a shortie... it just didn't work well for me.
