I love my Pazzo shorties, but those Rizomas look pretty nice. Do they make them in a short lever?

Thanks for the pics guys, and keep em coming..
So I take it if I run a "short" lever on the clutch side it would harder to pull the clutch in ?
Does it look weird when you have a short lever on the clutch and a normal sized lever on the front brake ?

I don't think so. I have shorty ASV levers on my Multi 1000. The clutch is actually easier to pull than it was with my stock levers. I figured it would have been harder...who knew.  ??? I'm guessing maybe the lever shape is helping...as in I get a better grip on it so it *feels* easier to pull in.

Personally I just dig shorty levers...have the shorty CRGs on my 848 as well.

Pazzo shorties on both sides. It took me  a while to get used to the short clutch lever becasue I use three fingers but after a few days it was fine. The shorties do look good though.

I'm sure the ease of pull has something to do with the new ergos you're adding to the bars.  My S2R8 has non-adjustable levers that are a tad too far off the bars for my hands to be comfortable using them, but the Beemer's levers are set way too close to the bar to the point where I have to use all four fingers to cluch most of the time.  If i just use the first two, the lever hits my ring/pinky fingers before it fully disengages.  

Could you folks explain the one long, one short thing to me?  I would think you'd want the longer lever on the brake side for "emergency situations".  I don't see a need for any more than a two finger clutch pull with a hydraulic system on the Monster, and my hands aren't that strong.  I like the look of the shorty levers much more anyway.

People put a longer clutch lever on for more leverage. Not an issue for a wet clutch, but it is for some on the much stiffer dry clutch.

To me a shorty gives plenty of leverage on the brake side. I could lock up the front wheel with 2-3 fingers so more leverage from a longer lever isn't necessary...especially on the 848.
