B-King with Pazzo Shorty Levers - Chicagoland Cruisers

Timboosh · 08-29-2009, 09:16 AM

Just got these in the mail yesterday. Install was really easy. 2 nuts, 2 pivot screws, and a little grease... Ta-Da. New Levers.

Took the bike around the block and... I Dig 'em. The range of adjustment is over the top. Clutch engagement anywhere from about 3/4" off the grip to out at your fingertips - and adjustable on the fly.

They also took care of the brake light switch issue I was having with the stock front brake lever (by the time the switch was engaging to turn on the brake light, I was almost doing stoppies...). Not an issue with these. (Funny how some companies do "stock" better than "stock"...)

Construction and fitment seems really stout and precise. No issues at all there.

They were PRICEY (IMO), but I think I'll be pretty happy with them.

P.S. Big thanks to Thom on the tip to install the CRG Bar-end Mirrors. You were right about that aluminum nut. Without your insight, I'm pretty sure I'd be ordering new adapters:
178.3% better looking + 146.7% better viewing behind the bike = 199% happy Timbo

great job Timbo! I've been considering those but got to take a look in person to see how I like 'em before committing...they are kinda pricey...Are they really anodized or painted?

Glad you like the CRG's!

Near as I can tell, they're anodized. I think I need to get a little more red on the bike somewhere to even them out...

yeah, red levers are a commitment! Maybe black levers w/ red adjusters? Can you post a pic with the whole front of the bike, maybe backed up a little from the previous ones?
I wish they made the levers in carbon fiber finish....
