Another Pazzo Lever thread..... with request

[LunchBox04V]

Well, I was looking for some thoughts from the community, and some pictures if possible. First, I have an '08 FZ6 in Dark Blue Metallic. I was looking to get a set of Pazzo short levers for both the brake and clutch. I have seen a lot of pictures, but I had two questions.... one is totally cosmetic. lol so here we go....

What color levers and adjusters? I was thinking one of two routes. Either blue levers and titanium or black adjusters, or black levers and titanium adjusters. Ideas?


Now the second is a little more of a request. I have been trying to find pictures of hands on the short levers. I have not had any real luck. I only really found one fair picture and it not of the short levers.... if anyone could take some photos, or has any, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again.

Hey, thanks for the reply Wolfman. Those look really slick. Though, I have seen lots of photos of installed Pazzo Shorts, I was looking for one with someones hand on the levers. Just to see how the fingers match up with the lever. lol Sorry... going a little OCD. But I think I will be going with the Shorts.

And if you keep up with the Cafe' Racer FZ's I might be convinced to convert. lol

Black.

Don't get blue - I think it would be a light blue.

With the shorties...your pinky will not be on the lever, either side....

You get used to it, in fact, i like it, makes access around the lever easier.

As for the Cafe Racer thing....looks great, rides great, but is a bit of work to get the ergonomics right, but when you do, it's a sweet thing....

Bit like designing your own bike!

Perfect! Shorts it will be. Thanks for the help. Friday, I will order..... only to wait till April till I can ride (late April). Thats sucks.... haha

It sounds kinda bad.... but I tend to choke up a little more on the controls than the pictures above. lol So I might be able to put my pinky on the end of the controls. Even if I can't, it will still be a great fit seeing as that I usually don't use my pinky on the levers as it is.

Not easy getting a natural hold on the grip and lever when you are reaching over to take a pic with the other hand. I have not had a chance to ride with these levers yet either. Hope to get out before you up here in Grand Rapids.

My Pazzos are std length. I don't like the reach on Mikes Speed 3 with Pazzo shortys

Gpostarmy, lol oh we will see now. Didn't even notice that you are in GRR. Haha I am Storing the bike in Traverse City. So once the snow is gone up there, the summer riding begins.

I went with black and gold.

I have the black shorties with blue adjusters and an 07 FZ6 Yamaha blue and love them. Pashnit.com will engrave them for free. That's who I ordered mine from. At the time they had great pricing. I had MXGOLF engraved on mine. :rockon:

...something familiar about those....

Black & Gold FTW!! Going to be ordering up a set for the VFR shortly (Black w/Silver adjusters).

Same here, although mine's a '06. Some pics:

Obviously, this is before I removed the fairing and went naked. But you get the idea of how the blue matches up with the '06-'07 blue (I know, not the same as the OP's blue).

Well, I did it. Went with the Black shorts, with Titanium color adjusters from Solo Motor Sports (same guys I got the Leos from). Just a little bit of a wait to get them, and then install them. I also got a local deal on some grip puppies. I am getting pretty excited to get them installed.
