Yep, had them on my curvy, then when I sold that I put them on my pointy. Can't imagine having standard levers on there again. Especially worth the money if you've got smaller hands.

Highly recommended!

Definitely very nice, but also very expensive. I'm afraid being a cheapskate, and also knowing full well that as a competition bike my SV was going to hit the ground sooner or later I went for the alternative option. I cut the end balls off with a hacksaw, then cut about two inches off the levers, then got a local engineering firm to weld the balls back on. Total cost - £10. After I had run a file and piece of emery cloth around the welds you would be hard pushed to tell they're not original....

I really like mine... Yes, they're stupidly expensive but levers are one of those parts that can really trick the brain, because you're in contact with them so much, so a nice feeling lever gives a bit of a feel of quality to the whole bike IMO. Flappy levers would make an MV feel cheap.

They're a bit of an odd size... With the clutch, I get 2 fingers on the lever but the third sits on the ball, which is a fairly odd posture. You get used to it but it's strange at first.

Oh yeah... SV ones cost a mint, so I got a GSXR one, and bought a suitable clutch mount for it (which came with a lever)- the whole lot cost £30.

As Northy said quality feel makes all the difference. Love mine!
On a side note, my bike got knocked over and landed on its side..(stupid co-workers!!!) Landed on the bar end and shorty lever, and snapped the gear shifter. with the stock levers I am almost sure they would have broke. It hit hard enough to slide the clutch perch in on the handlebar. Only a small scratch on my Pazzo lever! I think that makes them worth the extra money!

I have Pazzo's on my Daytona but have have a long clutch lever and a short brake lever - perfect combo! You can buy the kits like this if you prefer as I found the short clutch lever just annoying for the reason you describe above

What is the cheapest that these can be bought for? I've recently bought a tatty cbr929rr and the levers look like they've come straight from the '70s. I'm on a budget but would like to tidy up my cockpit.
