Shorty levers...who's got em? - Page 4

Okay, buy a cheap set of stockers and cut the ball off and cut them short and then JB weld or pre-drill and screw the ball back on...

I need rearsets before i get shorty's. I only 2 finger the brake and clutch, though, and the feel of my stock levers is terrible, but its something i've gotten used to so its not a big issue. I'm so tired of my foot position w/ the stock pegs though, that needs to change asap, i'm tired of ridding around w/ my toes on the bar.

Jeez, first you want shorties and now you're obsessed with a ball that you shouldn't ever have contact with if you ride in such a way to need short levers...

I use 2 fingers too, but the reason for the ball is that your fingers dont slide off the side.

anti loop balls. Ebbs is a fan.

That and to help ensure it does not puncture you in some way in case of a crash.

What about your pegs? The feelers on your pegs? The pointy corners of the plastics where they meet the windscreen??

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?

I have seen the peg of an R6 go through its riders leg in a low speed crash.

I spent $100 on a baffle kit. So...no.

I spent over 800 just for a muffler...

I still wouldn't buy pazzos or the like at anything over half price..
