does anyone have any aftermarket levers that would want to sell. but they have to orange. im making a orange theme bike and need levers. | ||
| Boliver |
Orange levers? I've only seen gold/amber but who knows there may be a maker out there who does orange. I really like my CRG's, they almost match my wheels perfect. Good luck. | ||

ASV's. Don't even compare to CRG's. | ||
| Terrys1980 |
The only orange levers you might find will be off-brand and come from Hong Kong. | ||

Don't tell anybody, ok? I have Hong Kong levers on my Ducati. Nothing the matter with them, as long as your friends don't know!  | ||

I've not ever used ASVs, but I much prefer the look of CRGs/Pazzos. I have purchased 2 sets of Pazzos and the quality and fit have been top notch! That said, they do not make orange, only gold as noted above. The gold looks killer with the amber wheels and translucent orange body work! | ||
| Migs16 |
Well orange and amber are the same thing when ur flying by someone. but you guys are debating on the crgs and the asv's?? what do u look for when you invest to such expensive levers?? | ||
| Andymnelson |
Haha, I agree. I normally would want everything to match perfectly, but I REALLY like the look of the amber wheels, gold levers, orange translucent plastics. My experience is solely with Pazzo levers, which are basically identical to CRGs. My Triumph came with them, and I liked them so much that I purchased them for both Buells. What do I look for? Adjustability, ergonomics and looks. Basically all of them are adjustable. I love the feel of the lever shape of the Pazzos, and I think they look best. Also in the looks category is how well the anodizing holds up. I saw a black pair of ASVs on a metric bike that were very faded- almost grey. I have o idea where he parks his bike, age of the levers, etc, but that turned me off. Could have just been a fluke! Again, I have no personal experience with ASVs, I just know that I love my Pazzos! Here's the ASVs, I think you want the F5: http://asvinventions.com/Bike-Applications/ The Pazzos: http://www.pazzoracing.com/guide.html The CRGs: http://www.constructorsrg.com/levers/rac.html | ||

ASV's have no slop in them as CRG's or Pazzos. The finish and quality is much better also IMO. I've had both CRG and ASV. Also, ASV's shorties are real shorties, not like CRG and Pazzo, there's a big difference. | ||

my Pazzos have no slop in them  I bet the difference is that the Pazzos use the factory perch for the lever- so if you factory one is sloppy, so will the Pazzos be....unless adjusted properly. what do you mean by "real shorties"? and this is purely opinion, but I MUCH prefer the look of the Pazzos! | ||
| Terrys1980 |
Has anyone tried the PSR levers? | ||
| Boney95 |
ASV's are much shorter. They feel like shorties. | ||
| Froggy |
Why would one want shorter levers? It looks like it would be harder to hold and I would assume you would have less leverage due to being closer to the bar. | ||
| Boney95 |
Unless one has women strength and hands. Perfect fit one or two finger braking. Three for the clutch. | ||
| Boney95 |
And its not the clutch perch, the slop is at the joint of the lever. Seen more than one like this. Disclaimer: I do not work for ASV. | ||

.....you guys just make me want to spend my money....the levers look great, and i do want shorties on my bike, but most seem to run at like the $200 price range.....thats a lot to spend on something i don't need.... | ||

you can use 97-03 gsxr600 levers. you have to modify them a bit, but it's just some light filing. great thing about gsxr levers is they come in every color of the rainbow and are cheap as shit compared to ones specifically made for buells. i'm currently using a set of black anodized gsxr levers on my 07 9r and i think i paid $15 for the set... | ||

Hey Migs, If you cant find the color your looking for, you could always have them powder coated. The coating is cheaper than you think it would be, look into it. | ||
| S1wmike |
I like my CRGs. My S1W came with them when I bought it and I put a set of shorty CRGs on my '10 Firebolt. I like working the clutch on the Firebolt with two fingers but it took a while to get use to the clutch lever against the back of my knuckles. Thinking about ASVs for my 998 or another set of shorty CRGs | ||
| Migs16 |
ya im just gona get mine powered coated. im going with orange and then i think im just gona get my shifter and rear brake levers done as well. i think that would look sick. | ||
| Jake318 |
Migs I would think the powder coat would rub off Due to the fact that the aluminum is polished and the smooth surface isnt suitable for powder coat , or paint in general, to cling to. | ||
| Terrys1980 |
A quick pass with some 200-300 grit sandpaper is all it would take to get paint or powder coat to stick. | ||
| Jake318 |
im ging to tke a look at these ASV levers . I use CRGs. Thier new product line uses a better metal with closer tolerances. But looking at how Adstable the ASV levers are they might fit my LARGE WIDE HANDS.( capitals just in case a pretty girl is reading post lollolol) Jake | ||

Not everybody can crush apples with their hands....go tell Dani Pedrosa he is a little squirt with girl hands. Just sayin. | ||
| Terrys1980 |
Have you seen the PSR Dagger lever? If I was in the market for some levers, that would be the ones I would get. | ||

Don't know of any orange levers, but Oberon offer their adjustable levers in black (or other colours) with orange adjusters. We may be able to get a set anodised in orange to order if you wanted them http://www.trojan-horse.co.uk/prods/396.html http://www.trojan-horse.co.uk/prods/397.html |
