I've dropped my bike in the driveway when washing the bike, because it fell off the rear stand, it fell to the right.
I suppose this is a good time to get some good levers. Im looking for amber levers, I think I have seen anodized aluminum ones in a color close enough to amber.... please shoot all the link you can, Im looking for a good variety (broad selection) to see & compare them to one another

thanks

Piazzo, CRG...whatever brand, all the same unless you spend big $$ (not worth it IMO). I have a set of Piazzo's, something like $170 for the pair shipped, and they are one of my favorite upgrades.

i have a set of pazzo's on my 1125 and they seem to be great quality. i have also sold a couple sets to people and they are all holding up well.

they have a amber set, but i am not sure how it compares to the buell amber since i havent gotten any that color in here

You mean Pazzo, Italian for crazy. I have the black Pazzo levers with gold adjusters, the gold looks nice if you have the amber wheels and gold badges.

Stockers for me, I don't see the point in making future repairs more expensive : )

Ochoa, did you consider wrapping your bike in bubblewrap? It might worth it or getting training wheels at the rate your bike ends up on its side ; )

I inquired with a couple of the shops locally as to the difference between the two. They said there isn't much of a difference but that the shops preferred dealing with Pazzo vs. CRG. They said that the quality with Pazzo is better and that the customer service is better than with CRG.

Don't know how true it is, but that's what I understood.

I don't know that there is enough of a difference between the two to matter.

Well the CRG levers use ball bearings in the adjuster and perch whereas Pazzo uses bushings. Really it makes no difference. Pazzo offers much more color options.

Aesthetically, the Pazzos have a sharp looking machined surface finish.

slight bit of thread drift, but I'll say im EXTREMELY happy with CRG's customer service.

I have a pair of their shortie levers for my XB12 and for whatever reason, the "black" anodizing started fading really bad.. first to plum, then to this vicious brown color.

I emailed CRG about it stating I was a bit peaved about having a sh!t brown color for levers... They kindly responded with a request for my address so that they could send me new ones. Just like that, no questions asked(other than my address), no proof required, no hassles. They took me at my word and about a week later, I had a brand new set of clutch/brake levers.

Maybe other people havent been as fortunate, but MY experience with CRG has been very good.}
