I've owned my '16 Super T for about a year now and think I have everything dialed like I want it, save for the clunky levers. I would LOVE to install levers that were shaped with a little more of a dog leg that lended itself to 3-finger operation. As they are now I feel myself having to completely reposition my hand to flick the clutch lever in particular.

I've identified the Vortex V3 2.0 as an option that will work on the Teneré and are a little more affordable than the ASV C5's. Anyone else had good results with AM levers?

Thanks in advance...

Pazzo is going to be my choice.

I have had Pazzo, FP, CRG and ASV on other bikes. All are great.
The ASV are on another level as they can be adjusted a lot !
The CRG were gret too but I dont think they make them for the S10.
IMO the best bang for the buck is Pazzo. I am too cheap to but ASV these days.

I got these on eBay for under $25 a pair. I think they look like Pazzos a work beautifully. The only issue is that the leavers have a slightly different color, but you can’t really tell once they are mounted.

I highly recommend ASV levers. I’ve been using these levers since 2005. The ones on my Super Tenere have a very fine adjustment for precise modulation. Not to mention they are a local business close to me.

F3 or the C5 levers? How much did you get them for? F3s look like $164 for the set.

The levers on the2wheels.com work great and will save you $100. Mine fit perfect with no slack or slop. Had them on for 30k miles. What makes them a knock off? Because they don't rip you off?

Those levers don’t have the adjustability of ASV levers. How to they hold up in a crash. Do they pivot on bearings, brass, or stainless bushings?

If you aint tried them. Don't knockem.
I have tried those kind of levers and they don't work for me. I'm very picky when it comes to controls. The odd lever click adjustment and feel of those kind of levers don't work for me. Mine have a very fine micro-indexing dial reach adjustment (4 inches of range), the manufacturer is local to me, and the feel is precise.

All of us have different tastes when it comes to setup. It's nice to have choices.

A knockoff is a Chinese copy of a Western or Japanese company's original design. They look nice but are usually made with inferior materials whose shortcomings eventually become apparent. In the case of the ones the PO installed on my last S10, the edges dug into my fingers and the hole used to mount them turned oval and sloppy.

I've purchased levers from the2wheels previously when I owned an ST1300 and while they physically look really nice, they are cheap and their flaws are apparent after a few weeks of riding. The little knob or adjuster is flimsy and I've had instances where it will just fall out of position that it was set at, extremely frustrating when your set to setting 6 and then it just clicks to 1 because its a piece of crap.

The thing that sucks is that while the ASV and Pazzo levers are beautifully made they are really expensive, but at least they are quality -- the cheap knockoffs look great but are flimsy pieces of crap
