Both clutch and brake levers, I highly recommend them. I use them regularly.

I want to get the pazzos. I also like it when I'm not the only smart @$$. The CRG's look about the same, only diff looks like country of origin and color options.

?

i just became a pazzo dealer so i could get some for my 1125. like has been said, they are not as short as the 2 finger shortys i make for my bikes usually, but i had to have levers with the ball on the end for some nesba track days so i figured i'd try them.

the sure look good though. and seem to be a quality product.

i just went with the black levers with black adjusters.

you can get long(normal) or short. you can even get a short clutch and long brake, or vice versa

I switched from CRG to Pazzo. I like the way they feel and pull, more than I liked the CRG

I too switched from CRG to Pazzo. I got matching clutch and brake lever for my Brembo radial master cylinder.

I run the CRGs on my XB9R and Pazzos on my Guzzi V11.

Both are equally excellent products.

+1 on the Pazzo's. l love them. They work great. They also take it from leaning towards the typical Harley look to looking more like the street fighter that it is.

Damn you guys... I'm trying to not spend so much money on my bikes.
I had almost forgotten about getting shorty levers.

There was an Ebay seller with the Pazzo's that had them listed for $160 with free shipping. I do not have the link any more.

the reason you arent finding them any cheaper than $179.99 is because thats all the cheaper pazzo alows you to sell them for if you want to keep your ability to be a dealer for them.

thats probably why you dont see that guy selling them for $160 anymore...

pazzo themself sells them for $199.99.

I think the last time the levers question came up someone mentioned that XBs can use any R1 levers from the years 1999-2003, correct me if I am wrong though (don't think I am).

CRG shorties here too, love them. Get them or Pazzos, they are pretty much the same and both better than stock ones by far. I consider the lever change, along with mounting my Dark Horse Moto sliders to be the two most important mods I made to the bike -- better feel for the controls to help keep control, shorties and sliders if it's not enough. Mine ran $90ish each at the dealer, went on with the 1000 mile service, money very well spent.

Next mods to complete the ergo improvements are S pegs and new top triple tree.

Cheers!

Did anyone notice that the '09's have adjustable brake (as before - at least my '08 XT-BOLT has an adjustable front brake lever) and clutch levers?

To follow up, does anyone know how retrofitable the '09 adjustable clutch levers are to earlier bikes? Is just the lever needed, or does the whole clutch perch and lever assembly need to be installed?

I can't believe I am recommending stock parts over aftermarket...

Stock parts are always better than the aftermarket crap, IMHO. ; )
