CRG Brake/Clutch
Levers- $99.00 or $159.00 each lever
About 4 years ago, I decided
to upgrade the brake and clutch levers on my 2000 ST2. I chose the CRG
levers for two reasons. First, they look great. Second, the roll-a-click
technology allows me to adjust the lever position on-the-fly with one
hand. The 6-position lever adjustability was just what I needed to allow
me the extra travel necessary for aftermarket clutch slaves. Aftermarket
clutch slaves are easier on the hand, but require more lever travel for
the same amount of slave piston movement. If you are having a tough time
finding neutral on your Ducati, the solution may be as simple as replacing
the clutch lever.
Well, the story continues.
After using my CRG levers for about a year, I had a mishap while parked
in the BCM parking lot in New Hampshire. The sidestand sank in the newly
paved driveway and the bike tipped over. This resulted in a sheared off
CRG clutch lever. Disaster, you might ask? No way. The CRG levers have
a detent several inches from the end of the lever. Should the bike tip
over, the lever end will shear off, but you can still ride. In fact, I
simply ground off the end of the lever, and continue to use it to this
day because I like the look. CRG must have had similar comments, because
they came out with a "shorty" version of the their lever. CRG
next added the option of folding lever what folds up in the event of a
tip-over. Talk about innovation and quality.
The levers come in 3 models,
2 color choices and 2 Ducati pivot arrangements.

- 1/5" shorter than the stock model. Will not get damaged in the
event of a tipover- $109.00
- Model 2 - The Standard Lever
- Standard length with a detent towards the end of the lever in case
of a tip-over - $109.00
- Model 3 - The Folding Lever

up in the event of a tipover. - $159.00

pivot and red adjustment lever

NOTE 1: On some levers with
the 8mm pivot or the radial masters, extreme care must be taken so as
to not destroy the pushrod actuator. The bushing is held in place with
a 2mm set screw with glue. This actuator is not a Ducati part # and must
be purchased with an entirely new master cylinder. Be VERY careful when
removing the actuation rod from your stock lever.
NOTE 2: My order form captures
your bike model and year of manufacture. CRG lever fitment applications
are for original equipment master cylinders. If your bike has been changed
to different master cylinders, the CRG levers may not fit.
NOTE 3: These levers are special
purchase items and are non-returnable.
