    I had stubby Pazzos on my Triple.

    Looking at some time in the future of replacing the standard leavers for folding ones

    Anyone have anything like this? thought?

    and any recommendations with what to look at?:)

    Yeah, I'm using an Active folding billet brake lever (not a shorty!) - mainly for the feel and range of adjustment.
    ACTIVE BILLET LEVER
    There are loads of other options - ASV, CRG, Pazzo, Accossato, Brembo, Titax, etc.
    I would steer clear of cheap ones on ebay though :)

    Gilles have the worst quality mass production stuff in the industry, and its mde of monkey metal.

    I use PP Tuning folding levers but my current brake lever is a lightech folding lever on my brembo 18x19.

    I have the ASV unbreakable levers on mine(short ones) they look mint and have good adjustment, got mine from calsport but ordered over phone rather than online and got a bit of discount for ordering a pair!

    I had ASV levers on my new blade.

    Used them once and sold them straight after.

    The amount of play up and down and the amount the brake came back before anything happened was a joke. really disappointing for the price.

    I've had pazzo and CRG on other bikes and the CRG seem the best IMO.

    Now have brembo 19x18 and OE clutch lever on the blade.

    OE levers defo give the best feel IMO and the brembo is an excellent £ for £ upgrade.

    Definite +1 on the CRG recommendation

    Get the levers and the SSR rearsets, best of both parts across all brands in my opinion.

    I could get em direct from CRG but if I get hit for customs it'd probably work out cheaper if he can sort me out ! :)

    Lool I'll get onto him, if he doesn't do em I'll see if I can get some trade going with CRG in the USA

    For anyone who wants to deal direct with them and the joke that is ParcelFarce + UK Border Agency their website is :

    CRG - Constructors Racing Group

    They do sell direct to the UK, but if you get stung by customs then ParcelFarce slap their JOKE of a 13.50 handling fee on top it just becomes stupid.

    Lets not even talk about the 2 days it takes to get from central USA and then the WEEK it sits in customs doing nothing.

    Rant over lol

    Tell me about it.

    I bought some rearsets and other bits from motomummy when the dollar was 2 for a £.

    By the time i paid import and waited for customs to dispatch them it was a waste of time really.

    What a shame. Still looking at leavers but when you said Superbikeforum I then went dull. Been a member for years but will not be going back due to mod's and how the forum is run. Would rather not get a discount than say I was a member of that forum.

    Alyn is sound. Don't need to be a member to vet a good deal of him. He's a biker so helps out other bikers with good deals
