Ok,
I am now an authorized Pazzo dealer. Pazzo has very strict pricing guidelines. This is the reason why you see them for $159.99 everywhere. Group buys must be "pre-approved". That being said, since I'm a new dealer I'm going to ask for approval to do one here on VFRD if there is enough interest. Post up or shoot me a PM if you guys are interested. It's been about a year since the last one.

I was not a believer for a long time. I never had Pazzo's on my VFR, but I have read about a lot of people really liking them. When the last group buy was on here for Pazzo's last summer I went ahead and bought some for my 600RR. The Pazzo's are much more ergonomic. The lever has a "dog legged" design that keeps it a bit closer to the clipon while giving you plenty range of motion. Most OEM levers are shaped like a banana and not really optimum for a nice grip. The are also very smooth to operate and offer quick 1 finger adjustability on both the clutch and brake. On the VFR the clutch is adjustable but most bikes its not, so that alone is a big plus. They hold up well too, my wife had a bit of a gravel mishap and the lever got rashed on the end but did not break. Most cast levers probably would have.
You can get short levers that are about 1.25" shorter than stock (basically a 3 finger lever), or the long levers (they are a touch shorter than stock). You can also get a short brake, long clutch or long brake, short clutch.
Most people I've talked to about either CRG's or Pazzo's say the same thing. Once you try them you never go back. It's a feel thing mostly. I am a believer now. And yes,, they look good too!
One thing I did not know until I became and authorized dealer is that if you buy your Pazzo levers from an Authorized dealer you get the CTSMoto (the US distributor) repair plan. Basically if you have a crash and tear up your levers you can send them in and they will repair them at a cost lower than a replacement lever. I do not know exactly how this works yet, but I would imagine that they would just replace the broken lever part and reuse whatever was not damaged on the lever.
Cozye,
I am interested... However I only need the Clutch lever for my 2003 VFR. I bought a Pazzo Brake lever on VFRD last year and with riding, I am convinced that it's a clear improvement over stock.
im interested

keep posting up. I'll keep an eye on the thread. I should have an answer on Monday when my rep is back in the office. I would think that since I am a new dealer and since its been a while since there has been one on VFRD, that it shouldn't be an issue.
Been meaning to do it and if it helps a VFRDer, all the better. Add me to the list.
I think that i'd also be interested. Comfortable, plus they look better, since you can get colors. Also, seems like I saw somewhere that you can get custom lettering on each lever. Would be cool for it to say like VFR800 on one side and VFRD on the other......
black shorties w/gold adj. (IMG:style_emoticons/oldemoticons/fing02.gif)
I have been wanting a set...can I get them for my Duc or is this going to be a VFR-only thing?
Black shortys with red adjusters for me! (the 848 uses the same as the 1098)
This was the
Pashnit Pazzo Group Buy from December; $159.99 but included shipping and engraving of the left lever was $10. Good pics of the levers, there. So what's the dealer cost on these?
One disadvantage with the engraving is that the levers aren't interchangeable left-right (aesthetically, anyway). Functionally, the levers themselves are totally interchangeable (after disassembly). I ground down the top surface of my left lever in a low-speed dump, so I swapped them to hide the scuffed surface. Works perfectly, except the "Pazzo" is now upside-down, and on the left lever.
I do like the idea of levers that are hinged, so they fold upward in a crash. CRG has these, but they're quite a bit more expensive.
I'd still rather have the Brembo radial mc's for my bike, but at least the Pazzos offer a better look 'n feel than the stockers.
turtlecreek, Jan 25 2008, 07:57 PMcoyze...here's your chance to shine....all my bikes have stock levers. what does pazzo levers do for you?
$160 levers make you do your best to keep your bike from falling over.
I am sorry yall i just bought mine. 160 bux from moto muzzy.com.Red with black selectors. I love them.I can clutch the bike and stop it with one finger if need be. I almost pulled a not intentional stoppie when i give a hefty pull on the brake. Ill tell yall one thing though, my hands dont cramp after 5 min on the bike.
I hope you all buy them and love them as i do.Get the shorts...that way you won't worry bout breaking em if it falls over.
If we can get the group buy approved, it would be available to all VFRD forum members, on any bike, yes even a Duc... LOL..
As far as the engraving, I'd have to check on that. The Pashnit group buy price is the same as our everyday price though, $159.99 with free shipping.
As far as the dealer price, I'd get hung and quartered if I gave out that information. These guys don't play around. I will tell you that there is not as much margin in them as one would think.
Sounds like there is a lot of interest. That will help things!

I would have to say @160 that not a group buy price since it is indeed an everyday price.

That was what I was saying. If I get approved to do a group buy, it will be cheaper than that.
Add me to the list. I'm interested.

+1, pending SO approval
I'm interested. Add me to the list.
including free shipping to the Netherlands? (IMG:style_emoticons/oldemoticons/unsure.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/oldemoticons/tongue.gif)
No need to wonder where the saying "going dutch" comes from eh?
With the exchange rate today, these Pazzo's sare slowly becoming affordable.....
Packaging it as a "present" will avoid dutch import duties..... (IMG:style_emoticons/oldemoticons/fing02.gif)
Interested...
I'm also interested, coyze. please put me on your list when you have more info! - Roy "Earthtones"
Interested
put me down for a set of gold shorties for y2k. i don't use either lever very much, but they will match my scotts dampner.................thanks!
Interested also, but would want a firm quote on shipping to Melbourne, Australia first.
I am interested. I had them on my VFR and loved them. My new ride is now calling for a set. Thanks

Got mine today! (IMG:style_emoticons/oldemoticons/fing02.gif) Now all I have to do is install them.
Ordered mine today, can't wait! I looked at my stock levers yesterday for a moment and sighed, woke up this morning and did the deed. Don't know why I'm spending this kind of cash on levers but from the feedback they seem to be worth it.
Got mine Monday, going to put them on today but probably no test time today because of the weather. They look awsome though.
Thanks goes to Cozye for allowing us to use his company and giving us the best deal he could, also for donating to VFRD in our names. If you treat all your customers like youve treated us you should be very succesful.
Thanks guys! I appreciate the kind words. I'm working hard for sure!
Teague, I've got your order. I'll get them off to you as soon as they come in.
Thanks!
Got em installed along with some other goodies. Work great look fantastic! THANKS!
sorry the pics aren't better...Got some more jewelry to buy my Italian mistress then she will get a proper photo shoot!

I'd be interested in a couple of sets. One set for my VFR, one for my GSX-R750 and maybe a set for my Daytona 675. Might even put a set on my Duc Monster. ( Yeah, somone please help me. I actually own all of these!)
turnera
Man, that 848 looks good. I was actually looking at one today while I was at the dealer getting a basesline dyno on my 600RR.
A buddy of mine fell in love with the set on my VFR.
Now he wants a set for his Aprilia Tuono.
Not listed on your site, but I'm assuming you can procure a set.
I sent him the URL.
Thanks again, I love my Pazzo's.
sPOTO
Tuono / R (03-07) DB-80 / DC-80
Finally got to go out for a ride after install and get them adusted. Man, I love these things. Dont look too bad either:

wow, looks like I missed the prillars all together.
Yeah, I can get them. I'll add them in the next day or two. If he is wanting a set for sure, I'll make it a priority.
thanks!
If I decide to go for the aluminum wheels, maybe I'll get you to add a set to my bill and toss them in the box.
What was the pricing, around $150? I'll go to your site later and check.
Oh, and thanks for getting back to me so quick with those rim prices. Will start padding the account and order as soon
as the cash is there. Must work hard, to make money, to buy more parts, so I can work harder so I make more money . . . . . .
Got mine in a good while ago, but just got back home! Took a whole 5 mins to install. Look great and feel better than the stock levers. Now only if there wasn't salt on the street...
