After first posting in the "how to" looking for info on pazzo lever installs I soon realized the 'how to" is for 'how to" rather than asking how to. Anyway I bought pazzo gold levers with red adjusters for my red 696. Installing the levers were easy. As someone mentioned before just don't drop the small locating pins and use some loc-tight on the nut threads when tightening. It helps to cup your hand under the old lever when removing to catch the pin if it does drop. Grease cup in new lever and bolt that locks it in place. Rather simple. Now if I wasn't such a computer idiot I'd post pics. Would someone please pm me with instructions if possible. Thanks

Clutch lever, standards and Brake


I went with the standards because I thought the shorts would look too stunted with the bar ends mirrors
Hope this helps, Ray

Can U send some pictures from distance?

It would be good to have gold front forks or something else. This is then only gold part on bike?

T. Rush

yes only gold. Don't feel the need to balance the colors as of yet. Just thought gold would look good.

Jandie,
It's really ridiculously easy.  If you follow the vid, you should be all set.  The only thing you can really screw up is overtightening the nut upon reinstallation.  Don't do that.  It seriously took me all of 10 minutes to do, and I'm kind of a moto-retard.  In any case, it's a great mod.  especially if you have stubby short fingers like me.

;D Yes I do have stubby short fingers...  [beer].  Thanks for that encoruagement, I think I have enough confident to do it now - I'm just being paranoid since this will be my first mod to the bike  :-[
Thanks again!
