Looking to get a set of levers either AVS or CRG. Any advantages to either one? Also shorties or standard length? My bike is an 07 street ridden only. Thanks for any feedback.

I prefer the standard length CRG's as well. ASV's fold forward. How often in a crash will your levers fold forward opposite the direction of travel? CRG's fold upwards...better direction to fold imo, same direction the folding levers for Brembo, Lightech, ect go. All comes down to personal preference.

More adjustability = ASV
Less adjustability = CRG

Looks are subjective. Both are quality pieces. I'm not sure what the warranty on the CRGs are, but ASV offers a 5 year warranty. FWIW, I have ASVs and love them. The fit and finish of the levers is top notch. Installation was a piece of cake. They are very well made and will bend backwards in case the bike goes down, minimizing the chance that the levers will get snapped off.

I have a long clutch (better leverage) and a shorty brake.

Just wanted to add that the 5 year warranty is on the C5 levers. If someone gets the F3 levers they come with a 3 year warranty but are also a few bucks cheaper.

when i dropped my bike at a stand still, my brake lever bent in a perfect half circle straight out. had it been an asv, it would have given to the stress and sprung back into place upon release. i also saw a clutch lever do this on a bike that was for sale while i was looking around.

I think if I bought shorties I would be wishing they we're longer. What do you guys think?

got the asv's here. love the range of adjustment. i haven't got to ride with them due to winter but played around with them in the garage.

My pazzo shortie cluth will allow me to operate with 3 fingers. Whats more to expect? Its perfect.

Yes, pazzo is very close to releasing folding levers.

ASV's are more adjustable then the 6 way adjustable levers and they come with the warranty as mentioned above. We did a full review on our website comparing all the levers if anyone wants to see. We even have pics comparing the adjustability.
