1.) They LOOK better than the bright silver stock levers
2.) They're about 3/4" of an inch shorter, plus they're scored, so if I were to drop the bike, and the lever snapped, it'd still be rideable (you might laugh, but I've known it to happen with stock levers, leaving the bike unrideable )
3.) They actually FEEL a little different than the stock. I like the shape of them.
4.) Did I mention they look HELLA better than stock?

It might be a bit longer, in truth, I don't remember since it's been too cold to ride all week. My only concern was it would be 'in the way,' and since it's not, it's like frame sliders to me -- they're there for protection and I don't pay any attention to them.

I see the Score, And I dropped my first bike and snapped off the Clutch lever so I know what you mean...

And I guess Im used to my bike, I dont have Silver levers mine are black from the factory...So it would look essentially the same.

I'm not knocking them I think they look great.

Ahhh, see if I had black levers stock, I might not have spent the $$$ to replace them, but the stock ones stuck out like a sore thumb, so they HAD to go. First thing ANYONE would say when they looked at my bike "Great bike, love the color... gotta replace those levers."

Actually it does stick out just a hair further then the case cover. It's to protect the clutch linkage, not the case cover.

Don't forget how easy the Pazzo's are to adjust. That in itself is a major plus.

Got it, makes sense I guess.

My stockers were easy to adjust, and they were black... but I like the shorty's better, and the stockers didn't feel right at all!
(and now the blue *almost* matches my frame)
So yeah, I hear ya.
