Pazzo Racing Levers, anyone?

[Warchild]

Gentlemen -

For those who may be interesting in tarting up their Blackbirds with a bit of bling, there is a 2-week Group Buy that has just started for the splendid Pazzo Racing Levers for the Blackbird. These levers are CNC-machined from a solid block of 6061-T6 billet aluminum. Both clutch and brake levers are fully adjustable, and use stainless-steel fasteners and cadmium-plated custom-made springs. They come in a variety of anodized colors.

I scored a set of Black levers with Black fittings:

They also make them in a "Shorty" version... here's a gold-anodized Shorty with black fittings:

Some other colors:

Here is my brake lever - Long Black with Black fittings:

These babies are normally $175.00 before shipping..... we're scoring these from a California vendor for $155 delivered. You lot will have an additional $14 shipping cost to England.

I'm surprised by the lack of interest in these levers from this lot. From what I've seen in the past quite a few seem to like a bit of bling. :dunno:

Just tightarses I guess. :neenaw:

 

[Warchild]

How do you know if anyone from here has ordered?

I would know... and no one has, which I also find a bit surprising, knowing this lot. But, it's cool.... makes no diff to me how many (or how few) grab a set of these beauties; I just offered up the info for those who may be interested, is all.....

Too, I suspect many blokes are brok3 this soon after the Xmas season....

that is what is commonly called "nail on the head" Warchild!! :dunno: and in my case I simply cant justify such a big expenditure on an item that 9 times out of 10 gets damaged if the bike just topples over!! :dunno: no matter how good they look, :cry: please do keep these type of "offers" coming though!! :bow:

Can't argue with that... guess the secret there is to not topple over! :} Or, get the Shorty's, which are better protected since they are more inboard of the hand grip.

please do keep these type of "offers" coming though!! :bow:

Wait till you see what's up next on the hit parade.... Carrozzeria wheels! :yo: :yo: :yo:

Saw some of these at the dealer Expo at the weekend at Stoneleigh, so there is a UK importer but cant remember who. They were on a Gixxer of some sort (all look the same to me) but the levers did look trick. Like all else from the states though, I expect the dollar price would turn into the sterling price! ie $175 would be ?175

 

[D.S.]

I have a pair of these (stubbies) on my Fazer 1000

Obtained via group purchase on the Fazer site for ?90 a pair! (due to the large volume purchasing).
They are bling alright but superb too, so I've just ordered another pair for my Gixer at ?100 a pair through the Gixer website.
FWIW, I highly recommend them.

Just been looking on the Pazzo site Joe, for an adjustable lever for my wifes Fazer 600, and there isnt one. They dont list one for a Blackbird either!

I have a Fazer 1000 mate.

Correct, they don't. But here's the deal:

While PazzoRacing does not actually make levers for the CBR1100XX specifically, the 2002-2005 VFR clutch lever is an exact fit for our 'Birds. Sadly, the VFR brake lever is not. So you can use the VFR lever for the clutch-side on the XX.

Happily, our vendor for this Group Buy (CTSMoto.com) has stepped up to the plate and has custom-fabricated a "receiver block" for our Blackbird's brake handle assembly! Here are early prototype examples (before getting anodized black, obviously):

And as you can see in the photo of my Pazzo brake lever in the first post n this thread, it fits perfectly. :yo:
