Just put some shorty pazzo levers on (blk w/ red adjuster) and they are fantastic!!! I highly recommend this accessory. Worth the 179.99

Fresnobuell,

Not sure what the part number is, but if you go to this website http://www.customridefx.com/Pazzo-Buell.html, you can put in for any combination. I bought it from this site and it only it only took 3 days... plus you receive some spike valve caps.

Eweaver,

The levers make the bike more personal to your liking. I realize the stock levers can be adjusted but these work much better. Also, I like the feel and it looks good to top it off.

They look good, I'm tempted...

So, with the shorty levers, the benefit is that it's impossible to damage the lever if/when the bike gets on its side?

Any downsides to the shorty? Doesn't seem like there'd be any, but it looks like it would only accommodate two or three fingers for a grab... any chance you'd reach out there and not grab anything?

pazzo's or gbc are what ive wanted but once i went to buy them and found out they were 200 bucks ive been forced to hold of. they are sweet too. and for us smaller hand guys they adjust closer to the grips too.

Here is a few pictures.

Pariah. Yah, it would be impossible to damage the levers if the bike fell... they are way short. But regardless, the air ducts would take most of the brunt anyway ; ). There is nothing I dislike yet, although the levers take a few rides to get used to... your pinky finger doesn't really grab anything.

I have been using two fingers on each side, so the shorties will be great. They look awesome. Just trying to get a part number (re above post) as I have a local hookup where I can probably get them at cost....to make the process as easy as possible for the source, I try to bring the part number to him.

THey look great!

Black and red on mine, shorties. The only time I miss having a full hand on the lever is in slow traffic - could use four fingers on the clutch lever when crawling along. They look great, feel great and have a nice feel.

Looks like real signature to me...as far as decals you COULD take off that warning sticker.

Duh... I know it's real, just wondering what the story behind it is!

By the way, not impossible to damage the Pazzo shorties in a fall. I scraped the end of mine when my Z1000 was knocked over while parked.

LOL.

Erik Buell personally came down to some of the larger HD Dealers to sign the buells. He only signed 6 at the High Desert HD... a few of each model.

As far as the warning sticker on the frame... I keep it on because it reminds me to be safe.

Nah, im just j/k. I guess I didn't even realize that it was there until you pointed it out. I will get that removed.

i came across these levers from asv inventions they have a pivot design to fold out of the way when low sides or what not happens. the adjuster is like a number drum on a lock.
they retail for 125 but for racers it could be money well spent.

The navy blue just about matches the frame. Very cool.

I am torn between the black and navy blue levers--leaning towards the navy blues but they both look sweet!
