Pazzo vs. CRG adjustable levers Now with Pics!

[Smiling End]

I'm looking to get a set of adjustable levers for my 99 M750.  The Pazzo's seem to be much cheaper than the CRG's that I've seen.  Other than price is there anything else that's really different between them? 

Right now I'm thinking of getting a set of black Pazzo's with a dark purple adjuster knob.  I think that'd look cool on my dark bike.

i have pazzo longs currently installed on my 2006 speed triple
and on order for my s4rs now, hopefully have them in a day or two...
ive been very happy with the pazzos,
the long ones fit my larger hands well, theyre really well crafted/ finished
very solid feel, like them a lot...
depending on who gets there first, will order pazzos or crgs for the 696,
whichever arrives on market first.
but im REALLY happy with my pazzos, cant go wrong there.

I remember reading on TOB that CRG came up with the design of the levers and pazzo basically ripped off the idea and produce them cheaper. This may or may not be an issue for you

The Pazzos are not a direct copy of the CRGs as they come with an integral clutch switch, whereas the CRGs require a separate  adapter to allow you to start your bike in gear. Not a huge deal but it's what made me go with the Pazzos.

+1.  The pazzo's are sweet.  At first I felt really dumb for spending ~$185 on levers, but when you put them on they're sooo good.  Feel good, look good.  Makes things much more comfortable.  Definitely an easy but effective mod.  (I have the black lever/silver adjuster shorties)

Side note:
It seems that CRG didn't feel the need to put the tab on the clutch lever.  Pazzo saw the opportunity and offers us an alternative product with similar quality, at a better price.  Seems like good business to me.  Sucks if CRG got ripped off (I haven't fully researched the evolution of these levers), but I put the blame on CRG for not fully integrating with our bike.  I didn't feel it was necessary for me to have to spend a good amount of cash on levers and still have to turn around and make modifications for them to work correctly on my bike.

Thanks for all the replies.  I definitely think I'm gonna go for the Pazzo's in black/dark purple.  I've got smaller hands so I'm looking forward to moving the levers in a bit.  Once I get them/put them on I'll post a pic.

Glad we could help

I just installed some black pazzos (shorty's) about a month ago and am very happy with them, they even came with some custom engraving  .  I'll thank the capitalistic ideology for driving the price down! Install was a breeze as well (except that the plunger pin on the clutch side was sealed in place with a dab of expoxy...not very difficult to remove (I just lit a match under it) but you want to be aware of it so that you don't strip the screw head trying to remove it....found lots of good reading material on this issue at that "other site".

What's the real difference between the shorty's and regular length?  As of right now I don't really use my pinky finger on my levers cuz it's just too far away.  Logic would make me say that I either stick with that and get short levers or get full length and start new with a good habit with levers that are closer to the bars.

Nice looking bike btw.

I can fit 3 fingers on the shorties with the outside (third) finger comfortable but snug against the end.  Medium sized hands should go with the shorties IMHO.  They look bada$$ too.

I got my pazzo's from www.motomummy.com  Just make sure you get the right pivot size unless you've changed brake & clutch pumps. I went with remote resivoir pumps, but they had the same bigger pivot size as they're still the older style.

I also have the short Pazzo's. I think they're great.

I used to always brake with two fingers and now I also clutch with two, didn't really take much time to get used to it either, so the shorty's work just fine.  Also, in the event of a tip over they should be fine (although the bar end mirrors would suffer badly)

Well I did it.  I just ordered a set from www.motomummy.com.  They were cheaper than ebay and had an offer for a set of free gel grips (which I won't use cuz I'm too lazy to take off my bar end mirros).  I ordered a set of short black ones with dark purple adjustors.  They had an option for my year bike so I chose that.  I have a stock set up now so I don't anticipate any issues with putting them on (hopefully). 

I threw a plug for this site in the comments for my order too.  Maybe we'll get some traffic from them or something. 

Man I'm so excited!  I can't wait for them to come in!!

call me  picky, but I'm just not fond of the machined finish on the pazzos.

which, obviously, has nothing to do w/the performance of it.
