Sev, can I just call riverside again and ask them for an adjustable clutch off a 7/8 bar and it'd work then? And yeh, your help in installation would be awesome!!

Thanks everyone!

No, you need to find the lever that fits the perch, not the bar. If you're intending to buy a whole new perch too, by all means, makesure its for the 7/8" bar. But if you're only buying the lever, it must match the perch.


Why aren't Pazzos as good s CRG's? On the grand scale, buying Pazzos is such an improvement over stock levers that unless you have tried CRGs (I imagine you have) you don't know what you're missing. And not knowing, in this case, isn't a harm :lol: BritJoe, what's the feel you got from them? I'm curious now :mrgreen:

I dont have any slop like you get with standard leavers, gear changes are smooth, I havnt missed a gear since ive put them on and nutral is now allways easy to find.....I wouldnt go back, and they look bling, but they are worth every penny, though I think you should allso get rid of the rubber brake hoses amediately cause they are crap.

Ok, so I emailed Pazzo to see if they could tell me which clutch would fit my bike. I'll keep you guys updated on what they say!
thanks all!

The only difference between your CRG and my Pazzo is color... and a couple of aesthetic differences. We'll compare next time I'm in town ;);)

Short's so far it seems like both Pazzo and CRG don't make anything specifically for Mandy's bike, so we're comtemplating simply changing the entire left hand switchgear and having done with it. I'll give things a look over next time I see her bike and we'll go from there.
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

Thanks Sev. I'm wondering if the gsx clutches would fit? Not sure. I wish my bike was more mainstream, it'd make things easier. But I guess you know all about the issues of owning a bike not offered in the good'ol US of A don't ya sev? lol.

I really want to get this dealt with asap as those commute rush hour rides are a pain in the arse (or hand lol) with the stop and go.

Ah, I see now. Changing that perch would make it easier 8)

Because you switch them constantly right ;)
