Pazzo racing that design clutch and brake levers for sportbikes finally have designed one for the Spyder. They put a proto-type on my RS ( I will post pics tomorrow) and it is awesome. The lever itself has 6 settings so you can choose how close or far you want the lever when riding. In traffic the #1 setting is great because you don't have to pull in that much when wanting to shift, great for racing as well. They can do any color lever to match your Spyder so it also looks cool. They put a gold one on mine just so everyone can see excatly what the levers will look like. They had a lot of requests from Spyder Riders who were not happy with the factory lever so now they finally have one. They intially did make some back in 08 but they went quick. Look for pics tomorrow.

Must still be in the "developmental " stage as it is not yet on the Pazzo website. I look forward to pictures and continued evals of how it works. I'd like to give my clutch hand a bit of a break but still want the control of the manual so not switching to the SE any time soon. The Pazzo clutch could be just what I need.

If anyone does decide to order, you need to order a long lever as short levers will not work on the Spyder. You can also get the levers engraved as well. I am really finding the shifting now a lot easier especially in traffic and you can change the settings on the fly. I have Pazzo on my Ducati as well and wanted one for the Spyder for some time now.
Better adjustability and better positioning of your hand/fingers can lead to better feel and control, hence Quicker shifts for sure. Plus they look awsome! Might just have to take the plunge and get one. I've been wanting to get some shorties for the FA as well. Great info man! Thanks.

This is really strange. I've been running a Red Pazzo clutch lever for almost 2 years now. They released Spyder levers about 1-2 years ago-- and then suddenly discontinued making them.... must have decided to start production again.....
I LOVE my Pazzo lever ----- rode someguys spyder today and could really notice the difference--- like the Pazzo much better....

Ran the short lever on my Phantom for over a year with no issues. Doc has one on his Silver Dream too.
