Thread: Anyone out there using Pazzo levers?

I put them on my 600RR after I wadded it. Absolutely loved the levers and wouldn't hesitate to put them on any future bike I own.

I just put a set on my GSXR and really like them. I got mine from motomummy.com for a little bit cheaper than what kneedraggers.com sell for.

Pazzo Levers

Fantastic product. I have the shorties on my 600 and the longies on my RC. I prefer the shorties, due to my tendency to pull with two fingers. They have great adjustability, look great, and have a very functional shape.

Pazzo shorties on mine. I brake with two fingers like bwhip and it's nice not crushing my other fingers while doing it.

Thanks for the input. I didn't think about it, but I brake with two fingers, so I might go the shorties route, and save my external digits from pinching.

Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to me...

I think they're cool, but I don't see the cost-benefit ratio, and I have shorter fingers than all y'all.

See?

CBRVFR's bike is a farkle.

good one.

Function over form , kids.

By the way, Pazzo means crazy in Italian. Kind of like Evian spelled backwards, if you get my drift....

Stop pointing your stubby little fingers at us! Some of us are slower than others, and figure if we're gonna be seen longer we want to look cool doing it.

I have the CRGs on my RC and RR. I like them but on the RR the clutch lever clicks on the throttle meister if pulled all the way in. Kind of distracting at first.

I have them on the RC and love them. I debated the shorties, but figured if I don't like the long ones, I'd just throw the RC down the track and then I'd have shorties for no extra charge.

I have the long Pazzos and the clutch also taps the throttle meister when pulled all the way in.

Not really sure why I got the longs over the shorts. I use 4 fingers on the clutch and 2 on the brake. figured it might look funny having 1 short and 1 long.

but awesome levers.

Hmm, I was thinking about adding these too. However, I am kinda tossed up over long or short. I use two fingers for breaking, and am trying to get used to 2 finger clutching. When I go out, I am actively working on changing the habit. But I still find myself using 3 or 4 fingers when clutching. So I am not sure if I will be better served with long or short.

(PS total derail, but break levers made me think about... anyone else notice Stoner using his middle finger only for breaking. Kinda odd looking, but one can't really argue with his results!!!)

I have a tendancy to use 3 fingers while clutching, but two to brake. It's taken me the past year to get used to that hyd clutch on the 51, so to do so now with one less finger shouldn't take much. But I'm not 100% sure about going with the shorties. I wish I could test drive a set.

I didn't think I'd ever get used to two-finger clutches when I started trying it at the school last year, even though I'd braked that way forever. Keep forcing yourself to do it, and it won't be long before it's your natural tendency.

Many racers do that - King Kenny was the one that was most known for it back in the day.

I had shorty on the clutch side because I only used two fingers for it. I opted for the full length brake lever...not someplace I was comfortable skimping out.

Yeah, I have really resolved myself to switch, so I practice and consciously think about it. But you know those pesky old habits! Hopefully, someday, it will become second nature. Problem is, I always feel like I jam up my ring finger a bit when I am 2 finger clutching. I guess in reality, I don't need to pull that far back. Yep, it's gonna take me a bit longer to master that.

Anyway, sorry for the derail guys... I may just dive in and get the shorties!

Steve, I think the Kneedraggers price is before shipping...could be wrong. Sent you a p.m.

i have a set of shorties, i love them

I think I am going to go with the longs. Just 'cause.

Got the PMs 'hawk. Thanks for the gre at info!

Want some red ones with black adjusters? I'll make you a deal, as I'd prefer to get shorties on the RC to match my 600. Just let me know.
