I only use two fingers, but have never had a problem with my stock full length levers. (Well, except for the very very rare occasion that I need to pull the clutch to the bars to start in gear) I like the understated stock look. All of my changes will be below the surface.

So get stock levers for $15 a set and cut them... no problem.

Apparently I'm the only one who doesn't like the feel of the Paz.

Prob with cutting the atoakers is you can no longer hit the track. Without the ball end you won't pass tech

I'm thinking you're the only one willing to admit it, after spending that kind of coin.

I did at one point, but again that ball at the end is there for a reason, and the lever doesn't feel good without it

Really? I only use one or two anyway, so my fingers almost never touch that ball WAYYYY out there on the end....

Jeez, first you want shorties and now you're obsessed with a ball that you shouldn't ever have contact with if you ride in such a way to need short levers...
