Question that has probably been asked a hundred times before .... New to the modern blades, so what's the opinion on best adjustable levers out there ? Small hands and riding style means I have a tendency to be more comfortable with short levers. Dealer was pushing and also seen a lot of commentary on ASVs. Thought's on what else I should check out. Thanks.
I have a problem with my left hand which means its about the size of a child. I had to go to the extreme and shorten the push rod , but it works. Tried short handles, but found the longer ones were easier. But from what I gather, in a normal situation, there is no substitute for the ASV.
I have PP Tuning folding ones. Similar in design to the ASV's with a roller click thing and superb quality. The bonus was I managed to get the pair from eBay for a bargain. Retail around £85 each I think. http://1000rr.co.uk/threads/what-did-you-do-to-your-bike-today.2209/page-270#post-371165 post #5387
I've never used the ASV ones, but am extremely happy with the Pazzo short levers I put on mine. Out of curiously, in which way are the ASV better than the Pazzo levers, as I'm open minded enough to change.
Pazzo's are the one which were used for all the Chinese manufacturers to copy, so many wouldn't look at them as from a distance they could be sniders. ASV are held in high regard and if you buy the F3 or C5's I think they have 3 and 5 year warranties respectively, and they're 120 point adjustable I think. F3 are forged and C5 CNC machined I think. I assume the info above is correct judging by the ads, don't own them myself.
Asv are the best design for me , and a better finish , look far cooler than the pazzo levers also I prefer the thumb wheel adjuster on the asv over the pazzo . there is a finer adjustment available on the asv . Also the asv 's are u breakable but if they did get broke they are covered by a free replacement , Very chunky looking design but very expensive. Only my opinion tho , not all may agree with my verdict
Thanks guys. I don't care what people think, so them being ripped off is no concern to me, I know mine are real. I'm now eager to try the other leavers, as I rode an R1 with Pazzos, and instantly knew I wanted them on my next bike, (which happened to be the blade).
Will drop an opinion on the ASV's when I get them fitted, only picked the bike up today and as anticipated not happy with the stock levers. Out of interest just gone through the similar discussion for my son's new 650F, and whilst ASV's and pazzo's came into discussion, he went for the german BT-motosport V-Techs. Flip ups, with sliding tails for adjustable length, assembled to order, range of mix and match colour options. Seem fairly light weight, not sure if they will stand up to the punishment in the longer term, but just out of curiosity was wondering if anyone had tried them on a blade.
