pazzo levers short poll !!!

I was thinking of getting a set of pazzo short levers.
Could anybody who actually has it take a picture (one over the other one) that shows a comparison between those and stock levers just to see how much the leverage point is affected?
I'm looking for a smoother clutch. (I use just two fingers) :teeter:

Edit: I managed some photos found online with PS to see what happens

I understand everyone has their preferences, but shortys are the way to go. You don't need 4 fingers to work either lever, if you do, you should drop down to a 125cc.

The real advantage of a shorty clutch is keeping the last 2 fingers wrapped around the bar during hard acceleration and using the fore and middle finger to work the clutch. You can't do that with long levers, you'll pinch your last 2 fingers.
 
I prefer shorty style. Having had Pazzo in the past on different bikes, i now have a pair of the cheap knock-off FDB off fleebay. They look and perform the same as Pazzo so save your wallet and get the FDB levers:cheers:
 
Ive bought 2 pairs of shorty pazzo's for my last 2 bikes but wont bother again.Ive got a few mates that went down the cheapy chinese/japanese route and we cant see any difference except for the word pazzo on the brake lever.theyve been running these levers for over 2 years now.
 
I prefer the longer levers. I slide my cutch and brake perches inward so that I am grabbing the levers closer to the end to take advantage of the leverage. I am using only 1 or 2 fingers as well. The Pazzo lever allow me to adjust the lever close enough to reach comfortably.

There's a huge difference between Chinese and Japanese products ;)
 
I've never used Pazzos, but I've used both long and short versions of the cheap replicas.
It wouldn't be fair to say that one is better than the other. There are pros and cons to both. I prefer short ones for spirited riding and low traffic roads. In stop and go traffic, my left hand / forearm starts to scream in just a few minutes. This is where long version shines. Much easier in traffic. Can still easily use do 2-finger braking, but I cannot do 2-finger clutch with long version since the friction zone on my FZ1 is super long.
If I knew for a fact I'd never hit traffic, I'd stick with shorties. As always, YMMV. :)
 
I have had Pazzo shorties before but I prefer long levers these days. (Maybe I should "drop down to a 125cc") :rolleyes:

I have long ASV F3's and they are awesome levers and not too long either.
 
I have the Pazzo shorty brake lever and the long clutch lever. Works great for me. The untrained eye would never notice the difference when looking at the bike...
