Get someone to photoshop the Piccasso in black and ask again...this is not a fair fight.

I like the bent stock one. It has a nice flow to it and I used to have one just like it on my Honda 160 dream.

Just a word of advice. If you ever bend one like that don't try to bend it back in to shape. A friend of mine dropped his bike in the rain one day when we were about 50 miles from home. The cluch lever was bent but workimg perfectly well. He tried to straighten it and snaped it off so that it was to short to use.

i think aftermarket levers are overpriced.

i bent my stock one just like yours with a hammer and then and then chopped about 2" off the end to make my own short lever. worked great.

+1 on that, my girlfriend dropped her Fazer and curled up the clutch lever just like that, even when heating it and using gentle pressure it snapped when trying to straighten it. Fortunately only the ball snapped off so the lever is still fine to use.

nice looking ASV's, i would probably go with the shorties, but if you like the long levers those are very sweet looking.

This brings up a good question to me. What if you are out riding and something happens to the clutch lever, like it brakes off? How would you be able to ride it/shift gears????

You don't

Thankfully my lever didn't brake, but my foot peg did on the shifter side. That was fun riding home.

My dad told me a story that about 20+ years ago his clutch broke completely on his Harley and he had to ride it 20 miles back to town. Rolling start, stay in gear, glide through stop signs

You could run it in 2nd, which would be fine when rolling but it would be very hard starting and very very difficult to stop

ASV's look great. As for the stock lever I would mount it on your toilet as the flush lever.
