    Yes, the reach is adjustable. Same with crg's and probably most other high end lever.

    Rotate them. The first thing to do with a new bike is fit it to you. Most people drop thousands on aftermarket crap and never even adjust their controls from stock.

    Re: brake and clutch levers

    Jackie.... Pazzos have more of an arc in them than OEM levers, so it is easier to reach for us gals with smaller hands, AND they are adjustable as well.... I LOVE mine. I thought I wanted shorties, but actually like the regular length ones better (which are still shorter than stock) so make sure you try both.....

    Agreed... though that's more for wrist comfort/ergonomics. Rotating them doesn't put them closer to the bar... But if they're WAY high or low, it could definitely make them tougher to reach.

    Yup. Ted talked me into a shorty brake, long clutch.

    And was I right?

    Yeah Sporty... Come sit on the 1098 for the shortie test and Komaki's klx for the long test. The shape of Pazzo ASV and FP are much closer to the bar than your stockers.

    Re: brake and clutch levers

    I might end up getting a long clutch lever. I'm not really liking the shorty there. When the brake (not break) lever is fully released, it's parallel to the bar, but no matter what setting I put the clutch lever on, it just doesn't feel right.

    Lemme guess .... Chuck's sperm is so potent that intercourse is unnecessary.

    Your mom was a virgin when you were born.

    Kind of. My mom was outside gardening one day and Chuck flew over on his way to Hollywood. He had just finished pleasuring 3 attendants in the bathroom. When he flushed the prophylactics they were discharged into the atmosphere. I have 13,612 half brothers in the USA ................







































    and another 2.8 million in China.

    I got the Pazzo shorties from Ted and love them. I went with short for both break and clutch. Can't do much with the pinkie on my left hand anyway. They can be set for a much shorter reach than the original levers.

    I am sure Ted can take good care of you.
