Mancha - check this thread out if you want the pazzo levers - now 20 bucks cheaper. Still too expensive for my blood. JCW

Pazzo lever sale

That's a timely offer. Thanks for the heads-up.

Has anyone tried them on a standard or T100? They only show the Thruxton.

Not sure if the Speed Triple and the Thruxton have the same perch but I tried a set of our S3 Pazzo levers on the Bonneville and no go.

For anyone interested in this special...I ordered a set via the web link, confirmation was almost instant, they arrived in just a few days, and they are very sweet! Every bit as nice as the CRGs and fifty bucks less!

I agree with vikingdrvr. Installed them last night and they look every bit as good as the pictures. They have a clever ratcheting adjuster to move them toward and away from the grips. I ordered the shorties to cure my problem with the stock levers whacking my bar-end mirrors. Problem fixed!

So, in response to a Triumph survey, I was looking over my bike and adding up all the money I've spent on it. I won't share the total, but I realized that I've now spent something like $1,300-1,500 on stuff mounted off the forks alone!

So what makes these levers so good? They look nice, but I don't watch my hands while I ride. How do they feel? After all, some things look great and feel terrible, others look terrible and feel great.

Now, I don't look at my hands, but if the levers feel nice that's worth some $ to me. Those who've bought, how are they vs stock?

They feel great. As the bend in the lever puts more of it in reach of the fingers, they're easily grabable and very positionable. Despite more of the lever being in reach of all four fingers, they don't get in the way of my gloves as much as the stock levers did.

That said, they'd have to feel pretty darn good to justify their cost. I bought them because I like to spend money on this bike, and because I really liked their look. I'd been more or less intending to get the stock levers powder coated, but then I would have had had down time waiting to get them back. These levers saved me from down time, look great, feel great, and no longer whack my bar-end mirrors.
