winter is here and i've been thinking about some adjustable crg levers...
i have tini hands (XS) and wondered if any of the ladies on the dmf with small hands could comment on the fit/adjustability?
please feel free to post up some pics of what you've got and where you got them!
thanks girlz [moto]

I've got some Pazzo shorty levers TiNi. I have teeny tiny hands (small, extra small gloves) and have them adjusted all they closest to the bar and they work great. They're very similar to CRGs I believe. Edited to attach pics: I'm not pulling on the lever at all in this pic:  Pic without hand:  |

Hi...as soon as I got my bike I had trouble with the length of the throw with the stock levers. I don't have small hands either but it was difficult for me. I bought the CRG's and what a fabulous difference they make. I bought black but after thinking about it could be fun to get a color...enjoy!  |

I have the CRGs also, and they are a definite improvement over stock. However, I can't put them on the position that is closest to the bars, as I would like to. If I do, the clutch will not disengage fully. I've had the clutch adjusted but it's not enough to compensate for that on my bike. Maybe yours will be better.

Hey, woman - I have the CRG adjustables for brake and clutch, and while I dig it for the clutch, keep in mind that adjusting to a shorter range for the brake means that MORE braking will be done in LESS range . . . this was a rude awakening the first time I used it. I prefer a bit more gradual braking, so I ended up extending the braking setting to almost where my stock lever would be. But they look badass, which has to count for at least 49% of Monster modification decisions!  |

I have the ASV levers which are a great idea, but I cannot adjust the clutch lever inward at all or I cannot start my bike in gear if I should happen to stall. I am not satisfied with the company's quick fix which is to put the bike in neutral to start it. On the rare occasions that I stall the bike, I don't want to have to put it in neutral. It should function properly, but I guess most adjustable levers have this problem. So avoid the ASV levers if you need to move them all the way in (brake lever is no problem).

She was asking on behalf of mrincredible...he got them for my Christmas present.  So far so good, although I've only done a couple of commutes with them on. Still need to play with the setting and my hand position a bit, not used to being able to cover the front brake. |

I have the CRG adjustables for brake and clutch, and while I dig it for the clutch, keep in mind that adjusting to a shorter range for the brake means that MORE braking will be done in LESS range +1 I put the brake lever out farther at 3 or 4, I think, and kept the clutch at the closest setting. I just got my CRG's for Christmas and they're really buttery and nice. This was one of the best improvements for my 696 in terms of quicker acceleration. The stock levers made me feel like the bike was took forever starting from a stop. Now, it's more natural and responsive. As for handsize, I have size Med hands and having the shorties is well enough for me that I can imagine a S or XS hand would find these levers MUCH better than stock. |

So do the CRGs have the same tension as stock? On my M696 the clutch is pretty easy to pull in, I would just be afraid my hand would start cramping sitting in traffic with the CRGs.
I don't mean to hi-jack this tread but I am curious what the experience has been for small hands.
Thanks.

My pazzos are no different from my stock levers except they are closer to the bar and thus easier to pull.

Same for the CRGs. |
