    Buying aftermarket levers for my bike, opinions on what color?

    Finally picking up a set of levers, only for aesthetic reasons, my stock ones work fine. I've pretty much decided on the CRG ones, for no particular reason though haha.

    So what color would you get them in?

    Clearly the fork tubes, calipers, and headlight halos are gold. The rear spring, seat tubing, and RR emblem are red.

    Eh, I'll pass on green. And please don't cuss me out like you did your truck for not taking your choice


    I'm thinking I'll probably go with black levers, all of the other colors seem a bit too flashy for me. But I can choose the color of the adjuster... Red blue or gold...

    So many opinions...

    Well I didn't want to wait any longer, even though waiting until tonight wouldn't have meant any more time, I still wanted to order them right away. Turns out the Pazzo levers are the cheapest, offer many more color choices, and in my opinion look the best too. I got black levers with red adjusters, and the "long" style. Long are still shorter than stock, I just don't like the shorty levers. Pics to come!

    I have seen your bike with orange sets and it really looked good. I don't like orange usually.

    Weird, I wouldn't have thought of orange, but I think it could look really good.

    Black levers with red adjusters to match the decals and seat or silver adjusters to match the rest of the bike, gold never matches right the forks, calipers and lever adjusters will all be different gold. Colored levers look stupid and you would need to start buying vests and mohawks. /thread...lol
