    Yeah, its all subjective... I prefer the look of Pazzos, but also appreciate that there's more adjustment on the ASVs.

    BTW... samuk & martinowen... your avatars are WAY too similar

    I have the short ASV's on my bike at the moment. Though to be honest I would prefer a short brake and a long clutch lever. It can get a bit annoying in traffic with the short clutch. The short brake lever on the other hand is spot on.

    Aren't short leavers those little people that always leave too early?

    I've got some pp tuning shorty adjustable levers on my 04, I bought them from a fellow blader, they feel nice and are very adjustable. Unbreakable too so I'm led to believe.

    I'm off out today to scrub in a pair of Dunlop Sportmax if the weather stays as forecast.

    titax shorty clutch and full length brake for me nice action and just takes an inch of both ends from standard lengths which is fine for my big lumps of meat

    Pic of my cheapo chinese levers... as said, am happy for you to borrow them if you cover postage, or they can be yours for the princely sum of tenner + postage.

    I had a set of theose on my CBR600, they felt pretty good for a week until the cams wore down and the lever starting slipping positions on the move. Chucked them in the bin and bought a set of Pazzo's for it. Buy cheap buy twice.

    To be honest I'm not even sure how I will get on with them so best spending a tenner and throwing in the bin if no good, better than spending 200 on big makes and not liking them

    Well took the bike out for a spin today with the new leavers, I love the feel of them but.......lol it seems there must be a small difference between the rr5 and 7 clutch lever as it causes a the clutch to slip a bit.
    They worked on Gappy's 7 so if anyone with a 6/7 would like them I will do for the same price £10 + post (I think it was 3 or 4 quid)
