Shorty or Long Levers?

For Dry clutch bikes, what do you guys use and why?
Im thinking about either getting long levers for both, or long clutch/shorty brake.
I want to pick up a set of those FP folding levers before the price goes back up.
Still unsure about the engraving too. Motomummy has them in a matte black level 3 hard anodoziing.

Shorties give you more options on using handguards in the winter months. Might not be an issue for you. Just thought I would mention.

I had two shorty CRG's on the monster but will likely go the short brake and long clutch on the 900ss when I upgrade from the stockers. I did not care for the feel of the short lever on the clutch side.

sounds like going long long is the best option for me. I have heated gloves, so winter is not a big deal. the only issue, is the traffic issue, when i squeeze between 2 trucs, sometimes the lever gets caught. but if i can fold hte lever out of the way, it shouldnt be an issue.
long long is the way ill go!

I run shorties on all my bikes...2 of them have dry clutches, and the other's clutch pull is just as heavy as a Duc dry clutch.
The shortys work just fine with a dry clutch...in fact, I think they make the pull easier. I'm guessing due to the different geometry...the easier pull was actually unexpected.
I'd say run whichever you want, regardless of clutch type. I prefer the look and feel of shorties.

I like the look of shorties, but my ASV's are both long. IMO the short brake was fine, but I prefer the longer lever on the clutch side. The one short, one long look doesn't do it for me.
I rode my friends Speed triple and didn't like the short lever even with the wet clutch so I guess its all just personal preference. Maybe its b/c I have really big hands.

i want to scoop a set of these matte black ones so bad as well man...
the only thing stopping me is that I will probably end up with new masters by the end of the winter... and i'm not sure which ones they will be... let me know how you like them. i would go long/long.

I wear Large gloves. Small hands could be an issue.

Maybe you could go short/short if you upgrade the clutch slave. I haven't changed either on my bike yet so no fhe on the duc but, i did have pazzo shorties on the old bike and loved them.
