Hey guys im trying to decide on which levers I want to do. I have been researching and only found ASV, Synto, and CSG levers. I dont want the crotch rocket levers. Are there any other brands?

Now i have read that some people have had problems with their ASV levers. But i also cant figure out what color to put on my bike. Im debating between black or gold. The bike is red and black.

Check out Pazzo. I have the shorty ones on my Lightning. No problems at all.

Or get the Pazzo knock offs from Rideitmoto.com; they're like $69. And you will get FREE matching grips. They seem good quality. You can't beat that!

I got some nice levers off ebay. Only like 50$, they are a off brand or no name but they have held up strong so far. They are adjustable shorty levers black on black

I just bought another set since I did the ZTL2 conversion. They were $35. But the anodizing sucks on them.

I have had the RideItMoto levers for a while now, and in my opinion, they are adequate and inexpensive, but less than ideal.
As some have mentioned, the anodizing fades quickly. The clutch lever is a little sloppy and the brake application is not as linear as the stock lever. There is less action at first, then the brakes start to come on more quickly as the lever is pulled further.
They are worth what you pay for them. No more, no less.

I just got levers for my zx10r 36/pair shipped eBay seller twowheels.
They have all the buell's to normal color and a bunch adjuster colors.
After buying 2 sets of rideit moto for my buell's there the same.
The shorts are fine my fiancee doesn't have a issue pulling the clutch on the xb.

The problem with the asv levers is That when you turn to full lock the hit the gauge cluster but that's only on bolts. At least that's the problem I had

For the money you can't beat these levers.
i always tighten the allens when i put them on or they feel loose.

The only issue is in heavy traffic when you switch between 1st and 2nd back and forth 1000 times in 1 mile your hand starts to hurt a little bit ;) other than that all smooth.

That happens to me now in traffic with stock levers but i also dont use my pinky much in aid in pressure.

Now also does the whole breakaway lever on the ASV actually work or is that just a PR thing they put on there? I dont feel like spending 200bux in levers to find out when i drop it by accident they bust off.

I got mine on ebay from seller motomart. Very similar to the twowheels levers. I paid 49.99 and got them in about 5 days.

I think I'm going to go with the Pazzo levers soon.

ASV C5's on the XB, C3's on the 1125R and GRG fold away levers on the Daytona. Both are nice, but the ASV's are way more adjustable.

Mirrors are Bikemaster, I got them here (http://www.bikebandit.com/bikemaster-mirror-set-with-l-e-d-turn-signals). I think they make them for Bolts too. LEDs are bright, they're less shaky than stocks - I actually can see stuff, wide range of adjustment.
They are selling very similar ones on ebay cheaper but heard bad things about them - like fitment is not there, soldering gets loose and LEDs won't light up and stuff.

Grips are Driven D-3 that I got here (http://moto-madness.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=733&products_id=837). They are looking very nice but after two seasons rubber part (black in color) is worn heavily. Wouldn't really recommend them. I will change them eventually for something else, maybe rizoma.
