Looking at getting a set of these and I have a few questions.

Which do you prefer: ASV or Pazzo?

Shorty or Long?

ASVs I believe have a lifetime warranty. Shorty or long is just personal preference. Do you two/one finger or use your whole grip?

Yeah I actually like that the ASV's have the warranty. But then again, I'm thinking that if you managed to break a set of Pazzo's you'd probably have a whole host of other damages and things to worry about! :lmao:

I use whole grip but I'm slowly training myself to use 2 fingers. :idk:

shorties will teach you fast then. :lol: Not much room for a full grip.

They're both great; I merely went with Pazzos cus I've seen the "dial" for the adjustment on the ASV's get scratched up over time (then again, if they've got a lifetime warranty, it might be something they'd take care of).

Shorty or long is just personal preference. Do you two/one finger or use your whole grip?

werd. I don't two-finger, so I went with regulars; Chris DOES two-finger, so he went with shortys. They both look great however (and the regulars are a hair shorter -- I think about 1" on my bike -- than stock levers).

I like the look of the Pazzos better. I got the shortys since I 2 finger brake and clutch. I think the Pazzos come in a lot more color combinations also.

From what I've seen they both come in the same colour combinations.

Neebs what do you mean about it getting scratched up?

I need to actually see them on a bike. I've seen the Pazzo's and I think they look nice...but from the pictures I love the look of the ASV's.

I'm going with black/black. No blue will ever match the blue of my bike and I hate when that stuff doesn't match. :td:

Sixxxer ruined me for black on black with my bike. He has the 08 and the black on black looks fantastic!

The Vortex levers are :boobs: but if I were doing it again, I'd probably go Gilles.

Cut sand and powder coat your stockers. Might cost 50 at the most. As opposed to 200 plus for cosmetic levers.

I'm thinking that will be a winter project here - just need to pickup the stuff to do it.

Just found out Pazzo's are Canadian so I know what I'll be buying! :ty:

Get the shorties. If you get the regulars you'll wonder why you even bothered, because they'll feel the same as stock.

I'm trying to train myself to do the 2 finger braking thing. It just feels weird to me. I know once I get used to it, I'll wonder why I didn't do it sooner. :doh:

You can still use 3 or even 4 fingers on the shorties, I often did.

I have the pazzo shorties.
The blue damn near matches the frame, and many have asked me if they were stock! (the flash messed with the colors a bit in the pic, they look closer in person.)

Comonboys hates them as she uses the full grip most times, and they are too short for that. You can use 3 fingers... but 4 and you'll be squishing them on there!

I'm going with black with gold adjusters. We're putting together a group buy on a local board. I think there are almost 15 of us getting them now.

I can buy them locally for less that 180 a set.

Seriously?

What's your price?

I find it strange though considering Pazzo's are Canadian. :(

Standard price is $179 shipped to lower 48. I get a discount because I belong to WMR. My price is $160 picked up.

Wow. That's a good deal for you. The $179 isn't any better after I factor in exchange.

The exchange is about even right now isn't it? It was last time I was there.

Not when you're on my end. Just a little bit ago we were almost as high as 1.30. Extra cost is extra cost.

I'll be supporting a dealer in Canada for this one.
