Pazzo Racing - Billet Clutch and Brake Levers

Big_Kahuna · 01-02-2007, 11:18 PM

"I've always liked the look of the smaller more streamlined clutch and brake levers I've seen on race bikes, but I've been hesitant to purchase these things because other than looks, I was not sure what benefit they would bring to me as a street rider. After all, looks aren't everything and I can't afford to spend money on things for my bike that don't bring function along with finish."

Special thanks to Mike from CTSmoto for hooking me up with these things before I even made it home with the new bike.

So there's more to them than bling, eh?
I've always been a 'short is good' kind of guy...

Big_Kahuna · 01-02-2007, 11:36 PM

Yeah! After putting them on the 900, I couldn't wait to get them on the 1000. I actually stopped my Mike's shop on the way home when I purchased the bike. I was able to check out many different color options but we all agreed that the black with red adjusters looked the best on the Repsol.

I also went with the longer brake lever, but actually ends up to be about the same length of the clutch shorty because of the position of the brake master cylinder sits pretty far in on the bar.

Great bit of kit. Got 'em on both bikes - long on the RC, shorties on the 600. I like the shorties better, now that I'm a two finger clutch and brake kind of guy.

I bought a pair for my 954 while at Laguna last July. I really like them. They have a much better feel on them than the stock ones.

HondaGalToo · 01-03-2007, 07:42 AM

Nice! I've got the CRGs on my 929 and like 'em! Well, I have one on the clutch side, anway!

abtech · 01-03-2007, 07:59 AM

Those look very nice. My only problem is that I would need to carry a couple of extra sets and don't quite have that sort of budget

You can always carry them and the old OEMs as back up (that is what I did). Or stop crashing (what I plan on doing

)

colryn,

I sold you those levers at Laguna Seca last year. Nice to hear you like the levers. You gonna make it to the GP at Laguna this year?

Hello Mike. Again, thanks for the levers. It is unfortunate but I will not be attending. I could not find a hotel in time that I could afford.

i have the shorties on mine and love them

Oh contrary, mighty great one. They are farther inside the handle-bar weight/sliders, so they don't get broken. (well, not as likely, anyway.)

You can also adjust them pretty close for a shorter reach.

SheepOfBlue · 01-05-2007, 10:58 AM

Got 4 CRG's waiting for me now. 2 clutched for the RC, one for the RR and a brake for the RR (could be moved to the RC if needed)
