Member Contributer Switchblade Posted March 7, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted March 7, 2011 Try these ASV. I just installed them. Very high quality product !!!!!! www.CaSportTouring.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traveller Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Just recently I purchased these aftermarket levers in titanium: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270712874988&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT Quality and finish seems very nice and IMHO for the price they can't be beat! ;) BTW, I've always wanted to ask this: why do most aftermarket levers have a 'z' curvature on the levers, where the oem ones are just straight? Is it for looks or does it serve a functional purpose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Pics of my Black shorty Pazzos down the bottom of the forum. ASV look good but if youve got the money the Pazzos look great. http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/index.php/topic/64946-update-asv-unbreakable-levers-11248/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer bryan217 Posted March 8, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted March 8, 2011 I bought a set of these last month after reading about them on here. I haven't had the chance to put them on yet, but they look good so far. http://shop.the2wheels.com/CNC-Adjustable-Clutch-Brake-Levers-Set-for-Honda-Lever-Set-Honda.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Pazzo's all the way!!! Just bought a used pair from this site (or the other) - they are awesome! An interesting difference --the lower the number the closer you are to the grip - unlike OEM; so setting "1" is the closest to the grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put a set of shorty levers on my 07 (bought off this forum) and noticed immediately I had much better clutch control than with the stock levers. Mine are set on "3".

SEBSPEED Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 The only caveat with all these billet adjustable levers, is that your hands will be moved farther out on the grips. The action for the adjustment takes up more space. If, like me, you are more comfortable being "choked up" closer to the switch controls, you will find the adjustable levers to be awkward. Trying to use the same 2-finger approach on these that I am accustomed to on regular levers, leaves me twisting my wrists at an uncomfortable angle and ultimately leads me to compromise the level of control that I've grown to enjoy... not going to give that up for expensive looks. I would much rather save the money to put towards radial master cylinders. These offer the same, if not more, lever adjustment without compromising the shape and hand position. And they work better to boot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VFRocker Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 I got the 2Wheels.com shortys and also have always liked the choked up position but still works for me with these. I also like the shorter clutch throw with the adjustment ,I get for great smooth shifts even when I'm not really concentrating on them. I still sometimes would like the OEM levers, Holding the clutch at long lites seems a little more effort, but all around these are great and I like the look. They have exceeded my expectations and were a snap to install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Olive Posted September 3, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted September 3, 2011 I have to put in a vote for Pazzo. Very comfortable, and very adjustable. (Excellent for anyone with small hands). Aesthetically the shape also makes the levers blend in a lot more with the bike. One real benefit of the Pazzo race levers (shorties) is that if you tip a bike over, you are a lot less likely to break your clutch lever. You might also want to check out the Pazzo knockoffs that are available on E-bay. This summer I compared my bike to one with the knock off levers from Hong Kong, there seemed very little difference between the two, except price of course. Yes, mine are gold, however both Pazzos and knockoffs are available in a rainbow of colours. Photos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Ryanme17 Posted September 3, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted September 3, 2011 My clutch lever engages much more easily and smoothly since I've gone with the the2wheels cheap chinese knock-offs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 how easy are those 2wheels knockoffs to install on a 2010 viffer800... is it just unbolt, bolt on procedure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Dutchy Posted November 1, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted November 1, 2011 swapping levers is a piece of cake indeed. was on my 4th gen, cannot imagine yours to be anything else....The only thing to watch out for is the little brass? tonneau that you must re-use from your existing lever. and the brake lever acttuates the brake light switch so see how that bolts together. and post up in the welcome section mate!
