Hey guys,

Not sure if this is the right place to post or not....

I am looking for a new clutch lever for my 06 monster 620. What have yall used for aftermarket??

I think I prefer a longer lever vs shorter

I like CRG levers personally. Good company, nice levers, and US made. Chinese knock-offs are available for a lot less if that's your thing.

Some of the board sponsors sell them.

Basically you just want adjustable levers (i.e. the CRG roll-a-click) so you can move the lever in or out to fit your hands better. Beyond that just get whatever color combo you like. You can also get 'shorty' or standard lengths. I like shorty better for the street, mainly because they look better.

You don't really need to spend the money on the fancy break-away models. IMO those are more appropriate for track/race bikes, where you're likely to lay them down at some point.

You just have to make sure they fit your bike, as some models won't. CRG and the vendors have tables for that though where you can look up what fits.

I'm in the same boat.  There have been several threads on here giving positive reviews on the Chinese ebay levers.  Been trying to do my research to see if this would be a good option.

Not trying to thread jack, but if anyone has a suggestions I would also be interested.  BTW I have a 2001 w/ coffin style reservoirs.

I have and love the shorty ASV levers. The adjustability is on the ridiculous side!

CRG also has an outlet on their site with some deep discounts on the first gen levers.

Can't go wrong with CRG - top notch quality.
Pazzo is also well done, but really a CRG clone.

I have some eBay china levers on the brake side of my SuperMoto and was pleasantly surprised by the quality. But, the eBay stuff can be real hit or miss, so be mindful

after looking at them all i think ill go with the crg...they seem to be the best quality and best appearance.

Can i get a fight for shorty vs long...

No need for long on a wet clutch duc. I have a short on my 900s brakes and long on the clutch for added leverage. But the pull on a wet clutch is sooo light by comparison, you don't need the leverage.

I had short levers, long levers . . . got used to braking 2 or 3 finger that now the long ones that came with the RCS are just too looooong . . .

if you like symmetry get both the same length, short. . . if you feel you need more pulling power, then long . .. at the end, what makes you comfy
