does anyone have a set of Pazzos on there tuber? i have seen them on an S1, i looked on there website and it does not look like they offer them for tubers but they do for the XB's does anyone know the interchangability of these, if any other bikes use a tube style buell lever? |

I don't know about the Pazzo's, but I have stubby CRGs on my S1W and love 'em. |

The clutch lever is interchangeable with an XB, but the brake lever is not. It fits right on, but the cam profile is different. I don't recall if it's the XB lever that locks up a tuber front brake or the other way around, but whichever it is, no good can come of it. |

i have stubby crg's on my S1 and have been eyeballing those Pazzo's also. i think i had an xb adjustable brake lever on my s1 track bike that i got from American Sport Bike till i hung it up backing it out the doorway and i miss the adjustability. i've been doing some catching up on CC and haven't been willing to experiment with xb levers for the s1W yet. post what you find out. tim |

I emailed them a while back to see if they had anything for tubers (I have a 2000 cyclone). They mailed me back to say that they in fact, did not. CRG is the solution to that problem, and if I recall correctly, theyre pretty close in price. However, I saw a thread a while back that said that levers for a Kawasaki 250/EX500 will swap over. Maybe pazzo makes em for them..... (Message edited by torquemonster on October 30, 2007) |

And a quick search found this: All levers are the same for these Kawi's: Ninja EX500 (90-06) Ninja 650R (06-07) ZZR600 / ZX600 (90-07) ZR7 / ZR7S (00-03) And Pazzo does make them, in fact there is a set on ebay right now: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Pazzo-Racing-Levers -for-Kawasaki-Ninja-650R-EX500_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQc ategoryZ10066QQihZ014QQitemZ330181881451QQrdZ1QQss pagenameZWDVW The EX500 in my garage is a bit older than that ('88), but I'm 90% sure they didn't change the levers between the years. |

94 was the year they changed the 500, bro. Dont know if levers come into play there. I wouldnt imagine so... The EX500 was my first bike. Made the jump from it to the M2 after 6 months of riding. Scary, I know. What year is your M2? Let me know if the swap is successful. |

It's a 2000 M2, although I didn't think levers on Tubers differed? |

The EX500 was my first bike. Made the jump from it to the M2 after 6 months of riding. Scary, I know. I had a stage 3'd GS500. Pretty similar bikes. I moved to the M2 after 4 years though. My 17 y/o brother now has the EX500. It's a pretty fun bike for tooling around the city. But my M2 is pretty fun for tooling around the city too, plus the mountains, plus the interstate, plus the race track... yeah, I love my M2. |

Mikef5000: THANKS for the Models these levers fit which are BLACK by the way and adjustable like the front brake lever on the XB's !!! KAWASAKI PART NUMBERS are: CLUTCH PN 13236-1185 and you use the two out side pins of the 3 pin clutch switch ... "i" adjust my clutch on #5 and then move to a lesser number which is #3 as it gives me the finger feel "i" want ... FRONT BRAKE PN 46076-1165 which is just a easy swap ... Use #2 which gives me the finger feel "i" want for the front brake ... Been running these levers on my 97S3T since 1998 or 1999 ... In BUELLing LaFayette |

buellistic..........the part #s above are for levers that will fit the stock 99m2 perches with only an electrical change to adapt to the kawi switches? |

Fasted: These levers are a retro-fit to all BUELL Models from 1997 todate ... All you have to do to make the KAWASAKI OEM clutch switch work with the BUELL clutch wiring is to remove the plastic connector on the BUELL clutch wiring so the wires will spread out to fit onto the two outside switch pins on the KAWASAKI clutch switch ...

"I had a stage 3'd GS500. Pretty similar bikes. I moved to the M2 after 4 years though." Thats funny...I had to choose between a GS 500 and a Kawi EX. I went Kawi cuz it was $900 on ebay and only took a couple hundred more to make it 100%. I thought about increasing displacement and all that, but shortly after, I found the M2 sitting with about 700 miles on the odo. and a price tag of $3000.00 Needless to say, it was all over for the Ninja at that point. I dont think Ill ever ride rice again, and if I get the fever for the flavor of a 500 Ill buy a Blast before I even consider anything else. Motorcycling changed my life, but my Buell refined it! |

Talk to Al at American Sport Bike. Beside being a sponsor of Badweb he has a variety of CRG adjustable levers that should be to your liking. I have the gold shorties on my S1 and they are great! |
