Ducati Performance Brake/Clutch Levers

Ditto on these!

They are nice, but for the money I would opt for some CRG's being you can buy replacement parts if you need them, and their quality is just as good.

Realizing you seem dead set on the DP Levers here, but FWIW I would 2nd, and 6th the idea of the CRG Brand as well. My last 3 Superbikes have worn them, all in the "Shorty" style too - the Shorty's are something which if you've never used them before take some getting used to. Ive had many friends use them for like 1-2 days and dislike them enough to send them back for the "Normal" sized ones- regardless of the brand.

**BTW- Does DP even make levers in the Shorty style?? :confused:

There is no doubt that we are all drawn toward our own products and generally stick with what we know, and whats worked best in the past for us - agreed? The good thing about Levers for instance, is that they can generally be returned to sender if they really don't work for you (Literally as well) Meaning that I tried a set of the DP Levers on my Tricolore and just didnt "Click" with them- obviously this was just my personal opinion, like this post is. Therefore, what Im saying is if you have not already pulled the trigger on them yet, perhaps try out a set of CRG's for the hell of it Chris? If interested in doing that shoot me a PM for some help. :D

Did current set in Gold on the Tri, Black on the previous bike (The 1198s Corse LE) both in Shorty's- And--------going WAY BACK to my 944 SS
I had Gold Shortys on that too! (Didnt even realize that until I saw pics!) PS- Check out my "Domino Grips" on those 2 pics. They were hilarious but did feel pretty good for awhile. LoL. :)

Regardless of what you end up doing man, post up pics and best wishes on all you do to your bike Chris! :cool:

I love them but the problem with them is that now you can't adjust the plunger rod to set the stroke distance.
 
Yep, the stickers come off. I installed the TWM levers this past Sunday. Super easy, literally 1 nut and bolt with a 4mm hex and a 10mm wrench.

They're identical to the DP levers, minus the ducati etching... ~$250 worth of etching, apparently.


Things to note:

-The "shorty" levers are only about an inch shorter than stock (attached). If you're looking for a lever that doesn't touch your ring-finger, these aren't the ones for you.

-The fine-adjustment screw is brilliant

In that first pic it looks like the DP lever has a slightly different bend and the distance around the DP sticker and the TWM sticker looks a different size. Perhaps just the angle of the photo but they do not appear to be identical. Made by the same company I am sure but do not look exactly the same.

I find the standard levers fine.
 
I failed at google :( every time i googled for dp levers i'd get other brands showing up in the search results. I got tired of browsing the research after 10 pages.

took about 2 clicks to find them on the ducati australia webpage

they call them racing articulated levers

LOVE oyur youtube vids !
Thanks !
 
I'm looking at the Rizoma 3D levers, anybody had any issues with them? They cost an arm and a leg but I like the look of them.

As a Rizoma lover, I would never buy their levers.
too much money for nothing for what ? folding lever?
there is out there a range of better levers for a lot less $$
 
It's a shame they are not short levers though :(

Has anyone bought evotech short levers with anti crash?
 
Well yesterday I was working in the garage and decide to take my Ducati Corse levers off and see if I could make the Brembo adjustable push rod on the Ducati levers so I could adjust the throw or play. I was able to make it work and its a way better set up for sure...
