Default Aftermarket Levers

what is the main purpose to aftermarket levers? (ex: pazzo levers)

i like the look, i notice the size difference and adjustability, but how do they feel? I'm debating on getting some or not, how do they work better than stock?

a good designed set will offer you a little better leverage and feel better in your grip. also a good set of levers is adjustable on the fly

They crash better too... and most are rebuildable
The cast ones (stock and cheapo replacments) break very easily, the CRG / Pazzo / Vortex / ASV levers all hold up very well in a crash...

Here's a Pazzo that's gone through 2 low sides and a high side - Had to replace the adjuster lever only...(like $9.00 3 years ago).


I've crashed a bunch of CRG's as well and they hold up just as well.

im a DD kind of guy, but like to get crazy on the back roads. i dont see myself doing much adjustments on the fly.

but i do like to hear why people added aftermarket levers to their bikes, whether it be for looks or functionality.

i wonder how much better my grip will feel.

any brand or type of levers suggested? Looking for somewhat modest pricing here.

Good lever are adjustable too. The shape of them is better than the stock levers which makes them feel a bit better. They look better too.

I'd recommend Pazzo's , they are the best bang for the buck. I have them on two bikes.

I've actually just got a dealer account for Pazzo's. I need to put in my initial order and could add some in for you if you had a color and style in mind. Send me a PM if your interested and I'll make it worth your while $..

I got a CRG lever and F4i master cylinder for my motard, badass little part. The adjustability is nice, I'd like to have one on my SV race bike but oem type levers are dirt cheap, I can replace them like 4-5x for the same cost of a CRG/Pazzo lever
