Thanks for the input. Do you know what diameter & stroke the 04~07 1kR MC is; 11/16” (17.4625 mm)?
I'd like to try the shorties.

I've got Pazzo levers on my VTR. They're made in Canada by a Canadian company. They cost considerably more than Chinese knockoffs but it would have been hypocritical for me to complain about the loss of manufacturing facilities and expertise to the Third World and then do nothing, even in a small way, to support North American manufacturing. I'd like to be as consistent with everything I buy but I'm not.

I received my levers just yesterday(8 days from China). They look to be very good quality. A little side play but not much at all. Clickes well and smooth. Will update
after install. Black with red adjusters-shorties. Nice...

I wanted to support a Canadian company as well, but $45 bucks compared to nearly $200 for a nearly identical product? My patriotism towards my country only goes so far (in regard to foreign products that is...)
