Shorty levers...who's got em?

OEM shorties, cut, smoothed out and powdercoated by Leon

I evened out a broken lever and cut another... then had them both powdercoated for the Buell. Probably a mod I'd want to do with the TLR, but I want to wait to see what the cable pull feels like when I dump the hydro clutch. Pazzos and the like look real good, but I just don't see it as a justifiable mod when there's so much other shit that could be done...

On the way home from work, I took a look at my levers and they are black from the OEM. I never realized that, maybe thats why I don't mind them.

I only use two fingers, but have never had a problem with my stock full length levers. (Well, except for the very very rare occasion that I need to pull the clutch to the bars to start in gear) I like the understated stock look. All of my changes will be below the surface.

Love shorties and have ridden a few bikes with them, I just can't justify the cost

So get stock levers for $15 a set and cut them... no problem.

I did at one point, but again that ball at the end is there for a reason, and the lever doesn't feel good without it

Problem with stockers is that they're too long of a reach for people with small hands like me. Even if you use the closest adjustment setting they still feel like shit.

Not to mention they're butt-ugly.

You guys complain about $100 levers, yet you spend upwards of $800 on exhaust?
