Apologies for the n00b question, but what exactly do they do and why are they better than the stock levers?

 

They look cool, and are adjustable. I like my levers closer to the grip because I don't have foot-long fingers. There are also some that adjust in length as well, but I learned when I bought a pair for my scooter that I really liked short. So I just bought the shorty's straight up. I feel so much more nimble and in control with these little guys. And for $20? You really can't lose.

 

What do you mean by sloppy with its assembly?

I'm wondering the same thing. I love the adjustable idea, but I've never changed levers and don't need to start with something "sloppy".

 

Sweet! Thank you so much for this find, just placed my order here ^^,

 

It's a 2 piece lever held together by 2 screws and locknuts. There is some lateral movement in that joint. It fits snugly on the bike, it's just the parts themselves. Not as well made as they could be, but for $20 they're well worth it. Doesn't affect normal use anyway.

 

Had these on an old bike of mine. Look sweet. Definitely can attest to the "sloppy", but it doesn't really bother me.

Look cool and the stock levers are very tight *easy adjustment but still*

 

So, are you saying you bought and installed the ones from the link you gave? I have had a look for Rebel ones and they are almost £130 from the US?!

They look similar for the Rebel and the Fury VTX1300CX...

To buy or not to buy, I have small hands and these would help no end as currently my hands and fingers are being stretched beyond belief...................

 

It's a minor price, so...
I'm still waiting for mine, should arrive next week.
And they either fit and work perfect, or they don't.

 

My missus is 4' 11" height and has tiny hands and feet. The rebel is great for her short legs but Honda have cut corners a bit by fitting the one size fits all levers and pegs. I've made a couple of temporary adjustments until new levers arrive. For brake lever a small hole tapped to M3 with a tiny screw adds a dead stop and puts the lever about 10mm closer to the bar. For clutch lever a small nylon spacer and adjust cable to suit also puts the lever 10mm closer. For the gear shift her toe couldn't reach it so I made another peg and welded it on.

 

just ordered up a set too, will letcha know how i make out

 

Panzo makes a great set of shorty adjustable levers that fit perfect. Pricey, but worth it.

 

Levers have arrived, so will look how to fit them as never done it before!

 

So I got my levers changed today, and they look smashing!

But I have a question to those who have changed to these levers; What number do you guys use on the adjuster on it for the clutch? And how have you adjusted your clutch to make it work for you without any problem?
Not saying that I have a problem my self, not directly anyway.
Because I notised now how the lever for the brake is way closer to the handle than the clutch was.
And what's comfy for one of my hands is comfy for the other. But by having the lever quite close on the clutch I fear that I may end up with unwanted wear and tear on the clutch since it may not be pulled far enough?
I haven't ridden the bike yet with the new levers, but I did start it and try it out. Even with the lever adjusted to nr. 1 I still couldn't directly feel anything wrong with the clutch/gears, but I'm still a little anxious about it, since the clutch isn't being pulled as much as it did before.

 

If you adjust your clutch after putting these on you can move the "sweet spot" right where you want it. I have both of mine set at "1", and had to adjust the clutch cable a fair amount at the same time.

 

Me too. Levers arrived today. The brake lever adjusts to go either closer or further than the OEM lever. Perfect. The clutch lever only adjusts further away than OEM. So the temporary spacer I had fitted on the cable I've had to refit even with the adjustable lever. Getting the clutch right is now tricky again as you correctly say there's less throw, so it's basically adjusted with almost zero play to ensure it engages properly with less pull. Fitting slightly thinner renthal grips will also help by a couple mm.

 

Had a ride today with the new levers, and I notised a slight problem with the one for the clutch.
Apparently it works well even when adjustet to nr. 1 (still unsure about if there might be some unwanted wear and tear from this, but not noticeable at this time then)
But! Feeling in general that that is too close anyway, I tried having it on nr. 2, upon wich when I pulled the lever it slipped! The small "teeth" that you adjust with didn't like the pressure it got, and slipped down into nr. 1 instead. No such problem when in nr. 3 or above, as far as I can tell so far.
Just thought I should share.

 

[QUOTE

Ah, I see. Yeah that wont tell me much then..
But seriously thou..? Is you "missus" a child?! I mean, HOW SMALL is her hand even?!?!?! If even at Nr. 1, it's still too far away??[/QUOTE]

Not a child. 45 years old. Uni degree. Rode bikes for 25 years. Just she's small. 4'11" with size 3 feet.

 

D*mn.. That is practically a child thou, lol! Well it's true what they say, nobody is alike. Exept maybe twins thou...

 

My adjustable clutch/brake levers are from Pazzo Racing.
I believe I was the first Rebel 500 in Vancouver, B.C. that had them.


A kind person at a Honda dealer recommended that I pay them a visit at the factory in Langley, B.C. and they were kind enough to custom-fit a set for me.

Ever since I put my adjustable levers on it's very difficult to select neutral. Adjusting the thumb wheel is not fixing it.

I know finding neutral on many bike brands (especially Ducati) gets progressively difficult the older the bike gets, but I changed the levers shortly after buying the bike.
Is it because of the levers or an unlucky gearbox

 

YES, I had this problem too. I cant switch the adjustable lever under 6 so pretty much useless because at 5 and below I cannot seem to put it in neutral without going to 2nd then down. Did you manage to get a good fix for this? It is very annoying and i spent literally 45 minutes trying to adjust the clutch cable on bottom and even tho its supposed to be a nice simple job lol

 

Are you changing to other gears like normal Twizzian? No problem there?
Sounds like you might need to adjust the clutch slightly?
Other than that, I'm not sure. Not having any problem with mine at least, so who knows, might be an isolated case on your bike?

 

Yeah I forgot to mention that gear selection is fine, so maybe I'll try adjusting the clutch on the engine a tad

 

I slacked up the cable at the engine with lever also slacked, then adjusted at the engine to just past taught on the clutch lever on the clutch housing.

 

Ordered these a while ago and finally got around to installing them tonight. Hopefully I'll be able to test them out tomorrow. 4 seems to be a comfortable setting for me. I could do without the red adjustment lever though. Black or dark silver would be great. Thanks Djdavies.

 

You can determine yourself what colors you wanted on each piece. I gave notise that I wanted everything black on mine.

 

Hmmmm, maybe my wife will take the red ones...

 

So how is everyone liking the levers? From the pictures, it doesn't look like they are much closer than the stock ones. At least the clutch anyway.

Loving mine! They work like a charm, for me at least.
Dude, they are adjustable, can bring em pretty much as close as you want them, the pictures does them no justice.
As I've mentioned earlier, they have some faults to them. Like it slipping into a different number on the adjuster under pressure. This might be a factory fault on mine for all I know. But, it doesn't bother me, don't use that number anyway in my case.
People say they are "sloppy/wiggly", and ofc they are gonna be when it's a two piece lever. But do I ever notice anything like that while using them? Never. They are firm and plessant to use.
I am very satisfied with mine, 10/10, would buy again.

Edit: Should perhaps mention that I got the short levers.

 

Excellent for me, too; and yes, clutch lever closest position is pretty much at original lever position (maybe few mm's closer), brake lever can be very close player..., for first 100 km's, me very happy, will buy another set, just in case:laugh:

 

My wife and I have been enjoying ours as well. Both her levers are set at 2, while mine are 4 for the brake and 3 for the clutch. Neither of us have had any issues with them slipping out of their setting. I did have to adjust the clutch on both.

 

Might be a little defect on mine then. Not that it bothers me.

 

First thing to put on... yup, levers. And as many of you said, you can't beat price on these, excellent value for price
