Default ASV Levers, what size ?

Hi,

I'm going to get some black ASV Levers for the bike, just not sure whether to go regular or short. I won't be able to try them as they will have to be ordered so need to make the decision.

I normally use all fingers for the clutch at the moment, likewise with the brakes, I don't see any issue moving to two or three fingers for this.

My hands are normal adult size.

Does anyone have these or similar ? or has tried these type of lever size ?

The stubby one's (taken from my pazzo's as I guess they're similar length) are about right for 3 finger clutch usage.. I can also one finger brake on my SV without having to break my finger.. although two is still usable. Personally I didn't find the clutch more heavy using the 3 fingers with the 4th wrapped around it.. took maybe 25 miles to get used to. Go for stubby since if you drop it, it's not £120 wasted.

I had short Pazzo's, but hated the stubby clutch.Then I crashed and ground the end off so I replaced it with a long clutch lever!

Best of both worlds - stubby brake, long clutch.

Though to be completely honest - next time, I'm just gonna stick with the stock ones

I like my full length pazzos, I use all my fingers on the clutch, sometimes I don't on the brake but I have plenty to aim for when I grad a fist full.

Got Pazzo shorties on brake & clutch & they are great for me. Judging by everyones posts, people prefer different sized levers, best to see if you can find someone with shorty levers on their bike & give them a try to see what suits you

Prefer long here - does anyone know where the stubby style came from, cos they seem to use full size in racing...
