Default Thinkin of getting Pazzo clone levers...

I'm thinkin of picking up a set from "the2wheels" on ebay...

Clutch Brake Levers Honda CBR600 F2 F3 F4 F4i VTX1300 | eBay


I have also heard good things about "Firedragonbros"on ebay as well..

As I begin to amass my winter mods (my DDM tuning HID kit is sitting right here in the box) I'd like to pick up a set of these as well.. thinking black with a silver or titanium adjuster to keep a subdued OEMish look..

I'm leaning towards getting some shorties.. I rode a ZZR600 that a buddy just bought it had shorties and they felt good.. I was almost sold on the standard length ones until that...

Now I know that people say that the shorties are for 2 fingers.. and that's normally what we really use on the stockers.. What are you guys/gals using for levers? Standard length or shorty length if you have even swapped them out?



I figure for $50 or just under $50 you can't go wrong..

Thanks

I've bought a set from the 2 wheels for a R6 - good quality.
I have a set on my 1000F from a different supplier, same type levers(shorty)
Seems like a good supplier.

I'd buy them again.

Thanks everyone and also thanks for the link reg. I have been reading a good amount on here about them.. I don't think i saw hat one in the rr section. Now i guess (aside from what seller to finally buy them from) I'm trying to decide on length and color.. Right now it looks like shorty black with silver or red adjusters....

Turbulenz, I put a pair of the ebay shorties on my F4- I started a thread on it about a year ago when I put them on.

I have really liked mine - have not had any problems with them.

Also, I would for sure go shorty - I have big hands and I still find them quite comfy.

Now I remember your thread and i also remember asking you many of the same questions.. So with the fading issues that some have experienced, black Or silver levers? Lol

I park my bike in a garage - So i dont have any issues with fading. However, if your bike spends alot of time outside in the sun I would guess that if there was going to be fading issues black would be the worst to have them.

IF you scuff the silver color, its much less noticeable. ;-) Also, you can even buff out scratches w/ fine grit sandpaper. Yes, I've done it. :-)

Look forward to your install write-up & pics of course. ;-)
