Fitted the CRG's yesterday. That took nothing more than 5 minutes to accomplish. Nice fit and they are an excellent solution for the times where you need that downshift/neutral play at stoplights and low-engagement slip in at play in the canyons.

Specifically when about town, I left the clutch setting at 6 (farthest from the grip and "normal" setting for the non-adjustable stock clutch) and when I went up into twisties I clicked it down to 3-4; much less action and it made for a lot less effort without any gear jumps.

All in all, these look awesome and work even better. Highly recommended. Al @ American Sport Bike has them in stock.

Interestingly today's 70 mile ride up/through/around and amongst the Palos Verdes Penninsula had me really adjusting my riding style due to the new Helis...I didn't think it would have that much impact, but it really felt like a MUCH different bike.

Much less stress on my wrists and it felt more like the position on a Lightning. Although it felt "odd" in the corners...a little less balanced. This may be more perception and the fact that it just feels "different."

At any rate, can't wait to see the difference in rush hour tomorrow morning on my 50 mile commute to work.

Hey BarkandBite,
I am getting those levers tomorrow. Any special installation stuff I need to know or is it unbolt, replace and tighten?

That's it -- easiest upgrade you can do...
