2.) They're about 3/4" of an inch shorter, plus they're scored, so if I were to drop the bike, and the lever snapped, it'd still be rideable (you might laugh, but I've known it to happen with stock levers, leaving the bike unrideable ) 3.) They actually FEEL a little different than the stock. I like the shape of them. 4.) Did I mention they look HELLA better than stock? It might be a bit longer, in truth, I don't remember since it's been too cold to ride all week. My only concern was it would be 'in the way,' and since it's not, it's like frame sliders to me -- they're there for protection and I don't pay any attention to them. |

I see the Score, And I dropped my first bike and snapped off the Clutch lever so I know what you mean...
And I guess Im used to my bike, I dont have Silver levers mine are black from the factory...So it would look essentially the same. I'm not knocking them I think they look great.

My stockers were easy to adjust, and they were black... but I like the shorty's better, and the stockers didn't feel right at all! (and now the blue *almost* matches my frame) So yeah, I hear ya. |
