Out of all the modifications I’ve made to my bikes, the Pazzo Racing shorty levers are among the best. And for the money,
they were definitely the most bang-for-my-buck.

I installed these on my 2005 R1. This bike comes stock with non-adjustable levers, and the adjustability of the Pazzo levers alone makes this modification worth its price. Having your clutch and brake levers the perfect length for your fingers will increase your reaction time and help your riding tremendously in the twisties.

You can order these levers in three configurations: short brake, short clutch; long brake, long clutch; short brake, long clutch.

The short brake, long clutch configuration is useful for people who grip their levers like a girl and need all four fingers to engage their clutch. I chose the short, short levers because I only use two fingers for braking and clutching. I’m cool like that.

Pazzo Racing levers can be ordered with the lever and the adjuster in your choice of black, blue, red, gold, or silver.

The fit and finish on these levers is superb. They are CNC Machined out of 6061-T6 billet aluminum. The levers have a distinct swirl-pattern machined into them, which some people don’t like, but I do. It makes them easily distinguishable and just looks badass when the light hits them right.

The cheapest place I’ve found to order these levers from is my pal Corey over at MotoMummy.com he’s got the best prices around on these, and his customer service is excellent.

Overall, I’m very impressed with my levers and would recommend anybody with a bike to order a pair. You’ll never go back to using stock levers again.
