Yeah I had a look at their website, I'm not keen on the adjustable length ones - just seems like too many points of failure!

They also don't seem to have regular length levers! I don't want shortys...

I can still get 4 fingers on the shorty chazzos. I was advised to get them because the standard length ones are allegedly longer than oem.

Just did a comparison with the clutch levers .... the Chazzo "long" lever is 15 mm shorter than OEM.

Can't give you the diff on the brake levers, as I have the short Chazzo.

its OK mate, no shame in having a short Chazzo.

Bwahahaha ....

I wondered how to word the reply to avoid your reference to my tackle, Dave - but you got me ....

Yeah, I measured the standards at around 190mm and the long chazzos are supposedly 176mm

I have never ridden a bike with short levers and I don't like the idea! You can use two fingers with a long lever any way

I have the long clutch/short brake combo ... they work fine, even with winter gloves ...

5 minutes ago you didn't like the chazzos either. You'll come round.

Not sure if this'll help but according to Pazzo's site the 07 - 12 ZX6R levers are the same fitment but the OEM one's may differ so may be worth a look?

Ordered a set of Short Pazzo's for my ZXR and am a bit gutted of how much they cost compared to the "Chazzo's" but then again I've had them on all my bikes, road and track, and never had a problem once so thinking the extra cost is worth it now!

Don't rate ASV's; no feel. Rizoma's are trick but difficult to adjust on the fly.

Well, time for another question then....

I have installed the chazzos and it went smoothly they look nice!

So - obviously it doesn't matter how you adjust the cable the distance between open and closed on the clutch will be the same - yes

The distance on my zed seems quite large...

What this means in practice then is that I cannot have the lever adjusted close to the bar because it either won't be fully open or closed...

So what's the point of the levers if I can only have it a few mm closer to the bar?

There is no easy way change the distance between open and closed - yes?

So I've answered my own question then... There is no point!

Set them at 5 ( max ) ... adjust cable as per normal. Then adjust lever ...

Bleed your brakes

I didn't even think of this!

Will adjust it again when I get home...
