I went to a Jacksonville bike shop with my friend today, he has an R1 and likes their toys. We were riding all afternoon. Side note - my recently aquired Vortex 520 sprockets (15/49) allow me to keep up with him better. I was looking at their goodies, and the guy behind the counter asked me if he could help me with anything. I, being the a-hole that I love being, said "Not unless you know anything about Brit bikes." Then we got on the topic of me wanting new levers. I brought up Pazzo, and he said CGR is better. He said CGR seld their pettent(sp) to Pazzo, but CGR's product though more expencive is better quality.

What say ye?

I guess noone has an opinion either way... well that is rather tragic.

I guess no one has a comparison of the both. when you spend $159 on levers, you don't swap them out!

I have Pazzo shortys and I love them, great adjustability, and superior quality. I've only seen CRG levers, and it seems that the 6 way click aduster is exactly the same. The lever handles are a bit different.

all I can say is that they are far far better than stock, especially on the clutch side.

my $0.02

I can't really comment on the Pazzos - the CRG's are what I have & quality of design & finish is excellent.
However they were unavailable in stock clutch fitment for my bike so required a Kawasaki perch retrofit.

CRG Retrofit part 2

That you can get Pazzos off the shelf to fit probably tilts the balance in their favour however I still prefer the design of the CRG's - they just look classier.

Performance wise I would not expect there is much difference.

So not only are they slightly more expencive, you also have to throw down an extra 50 or so dollars, and a little bit more moding to get the CGR's on our bikes. As far as design goes, there are very small differences. On the Pazzo's there are cutouts, on the CGR's they just seem to be "dishes" from the pics you posted. They have a smooth finish, as apposed to a Pazzo machined finish. They also do not come in as many colors as the Pazzo's... are either annodized, or are they painted? Im not talking about the faux annodize paint either hehe.

CRG's are definitely anodized.

 

[chefjpd]

Pazzo levers are hard anodized.

Heh. I like the Emgos. Cheaper when some douchebag knocks your bike over...

A good reason to buy the shorties! :-D I just bought a set of the Pazzo's and the quality is first rate! Cool thing is I just switched out the master cylinder for one from a Kawasaki ZZR600 (5/8") which was a complete bolt on to my RS. No changes at all even the brake switch hooked up to the Triumph wiring and the Pazzo levers I just bought fit just as they did on the Triumph part. :-D :-D

Does anybody know if they will fit a '96 Daytona or do I need to make some kind of conversion to make them fit?

Here are the Pazzos on my Bonneville. I am very satisfied with the look, feel, and quality.

Liked the Pazzos so much on the Speed Triple that I bought a set for the TT600. No complaints about quality - they're nice hunks of aluminum. And feel better than stock. Not sure why, but I got red ones for the TT - it works :-D

CRG doesn't make levers for my Daytona...

Sort of limited my options....

 

[daytonacharlie]

Just ordered a set of Pazzo levers for my 96 D12, emailed Pazzo's website and asked if levers for another bike would fit mine since they didn't list my Daytona. They suggested I send them photos of my bike's levers, I emailed them photos, they replied that ZX-11 handels would fit, placed order, will report back on how they do...

I'm kinda anxious to see if that works...

Fivehundo: ZX-11 levers will fit Charlie's '96 Daytona, but will not fit your '02. The '96 has a different brake MC & a hydraulic clutch.

R100Pilot,

I like the red levers against the orange bike. Might have to do the same with my S4.

 

[daytonacharlie]

fivehundo,I ordered my levers from this ebay store: Pazzo levers. If you scroll down the page you'll see that your model Daytona is included. I ordered the long levers, black with red adjusters. I'll let you know when I've got mine installed.

Just finished installing the Pazzo Levers and wow are they trick! Excellent craftsmanship, first rate! They should be for $159.00!
The fit was perfect with no issues what so ever. Again, the exact match for T3 Daytonas are levers for a ZX-11.

The feel is by far better than stock, less effort and more adjustability.
I love the six position adjusters, very easy to use on the fly while riding.
I'd replaced my clutch recently and went with stiffer clutch springs. The Pazzo clutch lever requires less effort with the stiffer springs! Amazing, everyone wins! (except da Bears)
