Anyone ever heard of these? I saw them at a parking lot sale last weekend. The pivot joint is 2-way so that the lever can swing out (away from the bars). I'm not sure that I believe this would make them unbreakable though. They look nice enough though.

Member wisdesign had a set installed..

Installed on my S2R1000 as well.  Love 'em!

the levers are good....but they dont have the tab to operate the clutch switch on 03+ bikes  with square reservoirs.
if you have one of those...look at other brands

yeah for about the last 6 months they've been telling me "they'll be ready next month."


Frustrating.  How hard is it to machine a little tab on the bottom of the lever?  Granted, I'm not a machinist or an engineer, so maybe it is difficult.


Andy

Not hard ... just expensive.  A billet of aluminum 2x as thick costs 2.5x as much.  And with a machined part, most of that aluminum is just thrown away if all you are adding is a little tab on the bottom of the part.

I called ASV and they sent out the part right away.  It was for my 07 S2R1000.

I've been hearing that for almost 2 years  [roll]
if you need the tab (and havent bought them yet) get CRG or Pazzo
maybe PM user pnut, he made an adapter for the older CRGs maybe you could adapt it to the ASV

noobie here.  what is this tab you guys speak of?  pics maybe?

send jeff at monsterparts a PM.  I thought he posted on TOB that the ASV levers included the tab on the levers he sells.

NOOOOB  ;D

Sorry, I had to  [thumbsup]

The tab is a tab on the underside of the clutch lever. It pushes a small switch when the lever is pulled, enables you to start the bike without finding neutral - as long as the clutch is pulled. Bike stalls in traffic, pull clutch, push starter button, GO. Safer and not so embarrassing.
CRGs has it, Pazzo probably does, ASV maybe not.

Here's the post and reply I referred to.

since jeff h posted already here with updated information regarding ASV you might hit him up about pnut's part since it is no longer listed on monsterparts.  I used it with CRGs and it worked very well.  I bought mine directly from pnut when he first made them but I don't know if he is active still on TOB or migrated here or not.

cheers

I thought I read here that someone had CRGs that came with the tab.. the pnut piece or the CRG mod piece were no longer needed.

i just wish CRG had the folding ones with the tab.  Last I checked they didn't.  I really prefer the ASVs but well.. if they don't work...  a lost sale I guess.


Andy

Correct. At least for my coffin style master it was available with the tab almost a year ago.

re- cowboys post-
I was wrong.
( :o I know...  [laugh])
they supposed to, but never did get the tab on them.

the CRG's however now do have the tab integrated (part # for the new one is AB-611)
(i think the pazzos do too...but no FHE on those)

I was looking on ASV's website today and noticed they had a different part number for the 03-06 clutch.
Any idea if that means they have the 'nub' now?

My ASVs came with this tab.  It was a little billet piece that bolted on to the underside of the clutch lever.  It wasn't quite the right shape to work with my '09 M696, but I'm sure any halfway skilled fabricator could make it work.  I just unbolted it and run them without it.  One thing that seems to never get mentioned is that with an adjustable lever like the ASVs, you can really dial in where the clutch let-out point is - meaning you're less likely to stall it anyway.  It's not been a big deal at all for me to shift into neutral before starting. 

At my local shop (http://www.superbikenation.com/) they had one of the demo levers and i was surprised at how far out/in you can adjust the lever.  I could take it all the way from way too far out, to way too close in.  I really like the shorty levers but didn't want to get it if the 'tab' wasn't there.  Maybe I'll see if they can order me a set and if they don't work, send em back.

thanks for the info.

Andy
