I got my Pazzo's today and I've installed them and I must say, they make a huge difference in feel. Outstanding.
The installation was very easy and straightforward. The brake is extremely easy to install. The clutch is a bit more tricky but it is pretty easy as well. The hardest part was removing the cable from the old lever. Just make sure you loosen the clutch cable freeplay all the way (at the handlebar adjuster) before removal. Remember, the OEM bushing must be removed from the old clutch lever and installed into the Pazzo Clutch Lever, if not, your clutch will be all loose and wiggley.
Clutch: The lever is a huge improvement over stock. It drastically changes the friction zone engagement area. Much less effort when using the clutch and it makes the friction zone much closer to the bar and not all the way out near the end of clutch release. It will take some getting used to; on my first test ride I could feel "spurts", I wasn't expecting it to catch so soon. Just got to get used to the "new feel". Simply amazing.
Brake: the position of the lever is much better and more adjustable so it feels better to my hand. Engagement zone is reduced too. I can feel the difference but it's not as noticeable as the clutch. As I get to ride more I'm sure there will be more goodies I'll notice. Even with the old levers adjusted all the way in they still don't compare to the feel of the Pazzo Lever.
Definately well worth the purchase. I also got new handgrips in the deal, I haven't installed those. Not sure if they are what I want to replace my Pro-Grips with or not.
At any rate, you can't go wrong with the Pazzo Levers. I wish I could have gotten them for less but all in all, I will not complain about the price cause I'm very satisfied with the outcome. Here are some pictures. :rockon::Sport:
