They are exactly the same as Pazzo's etc

Put the brake one on but didn't like it, prefer a full length lever.

Never rode with them on.

Black with red adjuster

What's the good thing about the shorties, btw?
I still don't get it and I don't like the feeling to it either. Am I missing something?

Less likely to bust 'em in one of those ground-sky-ground type moments.

Let you manipulate the clutch easier while still holding the bar with your outer two fingers and not crushing your hand, same goes for the brake - if you brake with two fingers and never more, theres not much use for the big levers other than crushing your hand if the lever goes soft or easier breaking when (if?) you crash. I love the shorties! But they have to be the good ones like Tony's - cheap ones or ones made by welding the knob further down a crashed lever isn't so cool...

I found my experience with shorties the other day exactly the opposite of what you described.
It's harder to manipulate the levers, and since they are shorter they require more pull effort due to reduced leverage.

wtf? The 'custom' one's are pretty good, I ran 'em on the 750 for ages.....
I'm guessing most ex mxer's (like me) prefer the shorties...

When I ride I have the bars quite narrow so I'm not yanking the front wheel about too much, which means the lever perch falls in the same place on the bars, which means that as I use just two fingers on the long lever anyway, the leverage ratios are the same for me - I'm still yanking the levers quite close to the perch regardless of how much more metal is hanging off the unused portion on the lever.

And they're easier for me since when I ride with long levers I ony use two fingers I crush the outer two that are holding the 'bars, so I can't pull the clutch lever right in, so I loose part of that control. I don't have that problem with shorties as the clutch will come back to the bar without interfering with my other fingers.
