Pazzo vs. CRG adjustable levers Now with Pics!

[Bick]

Recently the Pazzo's have gone way up in price.

I ended up getting the CRG's from my local shop for less than best price I could find on the Pazzo's.

The finish is beautiful, and they feel incredible.

I put on a set of shorty CRG's last night. Ive got arthritis in my clutch hand, and it normally hurts wears me down in the city fairly quick. Made my commute this morning and no issues whatsoever. Whether its the Pazzo's or CRG's, being able to adjust them to your hand and comfort is well worth the price of admission, especially when they were a gift

Jeff at MonsterParts told me that now the CRGs are made with the tab, no mod part needed anymore.

yeah, and it was a case of DMWW finding out before Jeff ! the thread started at the very beginning of the DMWW - and I emailed him he got a new order of CRG in - and it's true - they have the tab!

looks like the originator is fighting back!

Mine are new, and I don't have the tab.

Those look real nice.

I got my black/dark purple short levers today.  I'll try and post a pic up tonight.

I put the levers on today.  I can't believe how easy it was.  It literally took me about 10 minutes and would have been less if I had an actual socket wrench and not an adjustable wrench.  All I had to do was undo the counter nut then remove the pivot bolt then slide the old lever out.  Grease up the bolt, slide the new lever in, make sure the plunger aligned and then slide the bolt through and put the nut back on.  That was it.  I couldn't believe how easy it was. 

I should be able to get some nice pics tomorrow.  I'm somewhat regretting my color choice now (black levers/dark purple switches) since the purple isn't as dark as I was hoping.  It still looks nice but it's not quite the look that I was expecting.

I just went out and took some pics.  Let me know what you guys think.

You might as well get new switches - no sleep for you until you do
Of course I'm joking, but then again maybe I'm not? I know it will SOMETIMES bug me if something was just a little different than what I wanted.
They can't be very expensive and they can be bought separately?

I'm getting my CRGs soon and thanks to your description I might try to install myself. Usually I would be afraid of touching anything connected to the brakes.

Hahahaha, I think now that they're on the bike I'm starting to like them more. 

There's a few video's on youtube that go through the installation.  Mine was pretty easy since I didn't have to mess with any of the plunger assembly or anything.  If you look at the pic of the levers that PJFA posted above you can see that there's more than just the pivot bolt that you have to mess with.  I guess depending on the year of your bike the type of lever and the degree of difficulty changes but no matter what it doesn't seem that hard.

I went the Pazzo on my S4R.  Standard length...

I would love to see a picture of those levers on your bike! I'm agonizing about color for new levers on my red 620.

I went black with silver adjusters.  Pretty standard color combo and it wont clash with any colors.  Ducati has had a few different shades of red on their bikes so you never know if the adjuster would match the red of your bike exactly.  I was considering gold adjusters, but am glad I went with silver.

I am curious about the adjustment.  It looks like there are 6 settings on the Pazzo's.  Is 3/4 close to stock length of pull, or is a majority of the adjustment range in one direction?
