| Re: Post pics of your bikes with shorty levers!!! Sorry, no camera, but my bike is standard 03 sp2 (red/silver). I just put gold "Titax" shorty levers on. Soooooooo much nicer/cleaner than the stock banana levers. I highly reccomend them. The adjuster is red, nice accent. |

| Re: Post pics of your bikes with shorty levers!!! i put some black shorty CRG levers on my 02. i love them... make the bike look so much better, the clutch hand takes some fiddling with to get it set to the right position, but i touch the clutch lever and it shifts now... sick! and two fingeing the brakes is soooo much easier.
Go with black to match your frame unless you have other gold or silver bits on it....
pics on my home comp, i'll see if i can get em up later tonight. |

| Re: Post pics of your bikes with shorty levers!!! My shop is a dealer for both the Pazzo and CRG levers locally. They are priced a lot better than CRGs normally are.
In terms of looks I like the fact that the Pazzos can be had in far more color choices than the CRGs can, but I don't like that repeating stripe pattern on they have... |

| Re: Post pics of your bikes with shorty levers!!! hey dvIII, noticed those LED light markers right below those nice levers, how in the hell did you hook those things up? I bought the exact same ones and i have been trying to hook them up, the bike has three wires that were hooked up in the stock lights, and these aftermarket lights have only two wires. as you sit on the bike, the left marker has two orange wires and a green one, the right one has a light blue one and two green ones. the left one hooked up just fine but the right one is giving me trouble though, i have burnt two fuses so far. i think one of those wires (on the right side) does not belong with it. holler if you know anything about this. |

| Re: Post pics of your bikes with shorty levers!!! I had that same problem also when trying to put those exact marker lights on my 03 RC51. I am not much for electrical work so I had a guy who was an aircraft mechanic figure it out (as I also burned up every fuse I had). He told me that I was trying to go from dual filament to monofilament and that would not work. He fixed it with very little trouble. I have no idea what that means but maybe that could send you in the right direction. |

| Re: Post pics of your bikes with shorty levers!!! I'm working on the same thing on my RC.
The factory front turn signals are also running lights, and if you upgrade to smaller LED blinkers or lower-profile blinkers with a standard bulb in it, they are only set up to do one thing. blink.
you just have to remove the wire from the equation that is on with the key and you're all set. Then you can use that wire to do the "eyebrow mod". |
