Same here. I have small to average size hands and they fit me great. Been using them on my R6 for 9 years. Put through years of aggressive use with no problems.
I bought some ebays for my buddy and theyre identical to the pazzos on my other buddies bike.
I run the CRG carbons and theyre a sick lever but they dont really have the adjustability like others. The pazzos at the closest setting are almost touching the grips but the CRG's even at the closest setting are still far back. I have small hands and theyre fine but i know people who like it close.
Got the FP Racing few months ago, and I'm very happy with them.
Were the only ones with three different lengths and with lever and adjuster colors customizable (got red lever and titanium adjuster)
:thumbup Had Pazzos on three bikes, no issues, liked the look, color options and functioned perfectly. Now same with the FPs. I've had them on two bikes, no issues, like the look better, color options and they function perfectly. What's nice is the med length, shorter than the longs, longer than the shorts - just right. I think the aftermarket levers are largely a matter of personal preference, you'll get better adjustability over stock with all of them, go with what looks good to you.
Get the knock-off Pazzos from ebay, I've had two sets and zero complaints. They had some vertical play on my F4i, but they are very firm vertically on my R1. They're adjustable and generally awesome.
My recommendation is Rizoma. Unfortunately, they are mega expensive, but the build quality and the attention to detail, fit and finish is second to none. Otherwise I can recommend Pazzo. Nowhere near the Rizomas in the above mentioned areas, but they do the job nicely. Had them on couple of previous bikes. If I have to mention one brand that you want to stay away from it is clearly Titax. Looks like a rough copy of Pazzo with a way too square and bulky "grip area" of the lever. I was thinking about them for one of my previous bikes, but cancelled that idea immediately after looking at and feeling one of their levers.

I can't justify mega pricing for levers... but I know the quality is great. It's like the guys that spend ridiculous amounts of money for a gas cap. It's a freaking gas cap, people! Lol.
Performance mods I can throw cash at but levers are 50/50 for me.
ASV shortys . got them on both my bikes. you can fine adjust these levers. they look clean. feels good when shifting and braking, and you can choose different colors for the adjusters. havnt had any issues.
What's the advantage of these expensive levers over the ebay clones? Me and a friend both have ebay levers and another friend has one of the expensive brands and they're exactly the same as far as I can tell. Even the friend with the expensive ones said he can't tell the difference. I think you're paying for the name.
A lever is a metal stick that you screw into a hole. Shouldn't be $100+ :no
i got asv because i can adjust to exactly how i want. it doesnt have 5 or 6 settings, which is great since i have small hands. ebay brands are good though. my friend has imitation psr and he loves them.
Got these off E-Bay a few years ago;
Adjustable for length - span from the bar and are designed to pivot up if you drop the bike. Very well machined and fit great. I love them and they were about 1/3 rd the cost of 'name' brands.
Vendor was 'Fire Dragon Brothers' or something similar.
I had issues with the clutch side, especially with winter gloves, it was a long reach to the lever. I ordered the China specials off Ebay, dark grey with blue adjusters. I was really impressed with the feel and quality. Not bad for $27 shipped!
I just picked up a pair of Pazzo's for my 2014 matte gray. Main reason was I think their "Titan" color goes well w the gray R1. Had black ASV C5's on my 08 Raven which were great but the Titan works well color wise and $70 cheaper.
Once again, ASV levers....crashed, survived. I approve.
