i like my Pazzo shortys,, would like em even more if you could fit 3 fingers comfortable,, as it is now its like 2 3/4 fingers on the clutch side,, brake side is perfect as i only use 2 on that side.. yes much better that stockers!

I had to vote short because it was the only choices. On my bikes I run long lever on my clutch side shorty on my front brake.
And actually the aftermarket long is not quite as long as factory on the pazzo's.
heads-up, Pazzo's are my favorite brand of aftermarket levers by far although they all blow out the factory junk

In some cases. You need ball ends to run at Maxton...although I know of one cheap individual who sawed the levers and reattached the balls with epoxy.
Not to mention any names....SHIPHTEEY. lol

I think I'll go with the Doc's suggestion and weld the balls back on.
Thanks for your input Scott

i run the pazzo shorty levers on my Zx10 and on my ZX12....I like the adjustability on them and the fact I can get more lever travel out of them without taking my hand off the bars....can be important on the race track for me...when brakes start to fade.

Go with the pazzo shorty levers.... feel better and look better... though by looking at the date on this post I hope you already made some sort of choice.
