Hi. I think I may get a pair of Pazzo Racing levers - clutch and brake.

My first instinct was to go for the natural aluminum finish. But they also have anodised blue ones available - and I have a blue bike.

Are blue levers too much "bling bling"?? I think I will stick with my instincts - was just interested to know what you guys thought.

Thanks & take care - BB

I went with basic black for my Pazzos. I have them on four different bikes and the black goes with everything without looking tacky.

Thanks for the pics, DFWBiker. That is a nice look!! I will have to consider the black ones now......

Could you please confirm - or otherwsie - that the brake lever adds a bit of leverage compared with the standard item.

I forget my physics but the shape and location of the bend would appear to produce more leverage out for a given input.

Thanks again - BB

I don't notice any difference in the brake lever leverage. I went with the short brake lever since I only use two fingers for braking anyway.

In my opinion, having a non-adjustable clutch lever is ridiculous on a $10k motorcycle and that's the main reason I bought the Pazzos.

Not only do you get a bit more leverage, but you can set the lever position to fit your hands...which is more important to me. I don't mind a heavy clutch as long as I can put the lever in the right position.

Get the BLUE ones. No such thing as too much bling!

If you go with the Pazzos, go to Egay (not sure if we are allowed to say the personal auction site name?). Less cost and free shipping. If you order different color levers and adjusters than he has, it is only $10.00 extra and he ships very fast.
