Actually NO...
The only thing the adjustment does on the CRG/Pazzo/etc... is change the distance the lever is from the bar. It does NOT change the piviot ratio, ie the force and/or overall travel distance of the levar, becuase the levar piviot point is still in the same place regaurdless of what adjustment number it's set on.

From my point of view (as a racer)
#1 is Durability, I have yet to break or even bend the lever part of a CRG or Pazzo. They crash VERY, VERY well. In fact the only part I've ever HAD to replace was the little adjuster selector piece and that was only once.
#2 is Feel - They just have this nice solid feel when you use them - they just don't have that little bit of deflection the stock levers do.

For the street, what ever one you like the best and fits your budget - CRG, Pazzp, Titax, ASV, Vortex.... personally I use both CRG & Pazzo.

What do you mean no tracks to ride in MN.....
There's BIR (Brainerd International Raceway) - the CRA racing series is run there & both NESBA & Trackaddix run track days up there.
There's also the DCTC (Dakota Tech) which offers Hedonistic Enthusiasm, Riding Course & Zalusky Advanced Riding school. A lot of the CRA racers ride, instruct & work these events.
Then if you're willing to travel a bit (and belive me - it' worth it)you've got Road America, Blackhawk Farms& Mid America Motorplex. The CCS midwest Series Races at all three and NESBA, STT and Trackaddix all have trackdays at some or all of them.

If you haven't guessed it yet.... Yes I'm from MN too... I'm down in Winona.
A good forum, if you're not already on it is the Minnesota sport bike riders forum aka MNSBR.
