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.

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.

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.

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

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.
