    Martin, sorry if I didnt make myself crystal clear, but when I first offered the levers to you, I did explain the problem with the clutch lever... see my original post below!

    If you like the length/style, it might be worth getting someone to grind a few mm off that stop... the reason I didnt bother is that I didnt get on with the short clutch lever.

    Lol I knew someone had written that, I will be shopping for some pazzo's now I know I like the length. So was well worth it for the trial. I rode round yesterday with the brake one fitted and my standard clutch one I can see why people do it but the different sizes would do my head in.
    I didn't mean that to be a complaint, I hope it didn't come across that way

    Well, I did panic slightly that I might have a lawsuit on my hands ;)

    Anyway, its good to know they've served their purpose... I on the other hand are still looking for a dealer that will supply Pazzo levers of different length (standard clutch, short brake).
    Have toyed with getting ASV instead, but I just dont like the look of them.

    There is a standard black lever on eBay you may get away with doing that, I have a standard silver clutch and the fake pazzo brake at mo and it looks shocking Lol.
    I might give the clutch a go on the bench grinder later, what's the worst that can happen

    Cant see any reason why not... it only needs a few mm shaving off the end and if you have a bench grinder that should be no problem at all.

    Let me know how you get on.

    I've ordered a set of ASV levers today. 1 in standard length for the clutch and a short one for the brakes. After last weeks scare with the brakes jamming on I'm taking the 'cheaper' copy ones off.
    Got them for £165 with free delivery so happy with that ;) :)
