Default Levers

I'm chasing options for non-genuine levers for the clutch and brake.

Anyone used nongenuine? Recommendations?

Pazzo levers - $179 US - expensive, but I'm told they are brilliant !

I just went to my local bike accessory shop & picked up a new clutch lever. All of $20. It went straight on & works fine. Good enough for me & it looks like an original Honda.

Factory prices are hard to beat, especially the quality. The ones you see on ebay that are faux carbon fiber look like crap. You can go with ones like Pazzo, or ASV, but they're incredibly expensive. Not sure if they're available for 1000F though.

My wife has them on her F3. It's nice to be able to adjust the lever closer to the grip for small hands. At 6'3", I don't have that issue.

Ihave the Pazzo levers on the Busa and they feel noticeable better to me than the stock levers, or perhaps this is just imagination since they are blody expensive. The difference is that they becomes parallel with the grip closer (earlier) to the inside of the grip, this makes it a bit easier to brake with only two fingers and still achieve good force on the lever.
