Short or regular levers

[Flipflash]

What are the pluses and minuses of going with the shorty levers? What is the main purpose of them?

What do yall think of this deal? It is levers plus Driven grips.

It's more of a personal preference. I only use one or two fingers when using my clutch, so I tend to go with shortys. It wont clamp down on your hand and will give you the full pull motion with only two fingers on the lever and two on the bar. Also it is apparently far less likely to break in the event of a crash (don't know from experience). So if you can start her up after she takes a spill, you still have function in your controls (assuming the lines aernt snapped).

As for the levers you are looking at, I went with cheap ones off e-bay and they worked just fine. Just gotta shop around.

I have a short brake lever since I only need one or two fingers to use it, but I have a full size clutch lever due to the fact it makes it easier to hold in at stop lights. As far as I know I'm the only one who has this particular setup. It's all about what you prefer and what works for you.

Its all about personal preference and looks for the most part. Right now I have short clutch and stock brake lever due to my crash. The shorty brake lever I had got bent just enough to annoy me so I put the stock back on. I also bought china made ebay levers and they work fine (so long as you dont crash :banghead

I can still get 3-4 fingers on the shorties... they are only about an inch shorter.... it's not like they *ONLY* fit two fingers

if you do drop your ride, the shorties won't get all mangled

other than that, not much difference

I prefer shorty brake, and a long clutch, however that's just my preference, and that's the only real factor in going to shorty levers.

Nothing technical to say that hasn't already been said, but I really think the shorty levers look way cooler on my 6R than the standard size

shorty levers remind me of a BMX bike

Show me a MotoGP guy who uses shorties and I might consider the change. Not saying there aren't, but I haven't seen any.

I liked the short levers as well, and like Dart said, you can get more than two fingers on the levers. I usually used 3 fingers on the clutch side and two on the brake side. Again, personal preference and what works for you. Oh, and the shorties look cooler in my opinion.
