Not just an appearance mod but I get what you're saying. But they look soooooo sexy how could you resist?

Who knows maybe one day Ill buy them
In alot of ways it is appearance. But the adjustability is awesome. It was a mod I wanted to do for a long time...but the price is steep. Just keep looking for a good deal if you want a set.

And the rotor is AWESOME.

Put about 150 miles on with the Pazzo's this weekend. Initial thoughts...

They look incredible. Love that. They feel wierd. At this point, I prefer the feel of the stock levers. But I'm sure I'll get used to them. The Buell has an insanely stiff clutch, these short levers only made it stiffer. So much so that I have a massive pain in my left hand. This is no joke. So my next mod is a $35 Clutchlite EZpull. I'll be going xsoft.

Also...the point where the clutch disengages has moved farther out, allowing for two finger jones on the shifting. Good and bad on that. Good b/c it's how I used to ride. Bad b/c I have to get used to it again. And I think I need to adjust my clutch...needs just a touch more free play.

Clutch lever free play should hold a dime in the pinch point.

I don't have quite that much...it def needs a touch of adjustment. And an oil change, and a brake fluid change, and the HID put in it. Wife has me working on the house...can't find time for MC maintenence.

yeah if you are having a hard time with the clutch move the point out so you just have to barely touch the clutch to engage it.

With the stock the clutch disengaged as soon as it came away from the bar. I got used to it that way and like it. I just gotta get used to the new set up.

But on the buell, I believe allot of that is going to be in the ball ramp assembly not the freeplay.
