    Same here, got mine off ebay ages ago, very nice!

    I don't know about the shorties though, I thought of going with a set myself, and settled on the standard length.

    Here is mine, also shorties. $25 not a bad deal and it fits perfect IMG_20140505_200244.jpg

    I have to have shorties because I'm a 3 finger clutched and 2 finger braker and I need my other 2 fingers around the throttle so I can blip the throttle on rev matched down shifts. I can't do that with long ones because it smashes my other end fingers during brake and blips. I have small hands so I can't just simply adjusts the levers out wards.

    Love the look of the levers - especially the black!

    This is first on my list of mods to do. How much closer is the clutch lever on the lowest setting compared to stock?

    Hi guys, great thread. Seeing that I dropped my bike on its left today, thanks to a faulty side stand. I will be ordering some fancy fold up levers for it. More than likely to be the cheaper option too! Will post pics once they have arrived and are fitted. I'm riding with half a clutch lever at the moment.

    I bought Chinese Pizzo type levers back in 2010 for around $40 (dBay), so they've been on now for over 4-years. I've had no problems at all with them and they still look good. I like the full-length levers, especially at long stoplights.

    I would forgo the shorties! I got the long one like ictghost above and am very happy with them. Bike even feel over with them and it didn't break!
