Pazzo levers for TRX?

Post by Corners R Us » Tue Jan 27, 2009 9:08 pm

I've noticed a few of the tricked up TRXs on this fair forum with Pazzo brake/clutch levers applied but I can't seem to find anyone who sells them specifically for the TRX. Do I have to order them for another Yamaha model? Thunderclap? Arse6? Pointers appreciated.

Yeah Corners, they don't make 'em for the TRX.

R6 are a good compromise, though.
I have an '03 R6 MC that I'm gonna fit one day and that way all I have to do is buy '03 R6 levers and an '03 clutch lever perch.

Yep, I did the conversion as described above. Easy as 1,2,3!

Well finally bought a pair.....of.......CRGs. Black shorties with red clickers. COOL.

TRX clutch perch looks like it might work. Are the R6 / TRX the same or widely different?

My TRX brake lever fitted straight to my R6 M/cylinder no messin if that helps ? Some say to file the cam down that presses the piston but they were no different for me. Don't know about clutch sorry.

Well the TRX and the R6 perches are sooooooooo not the same.The lever pivot point knuckle on the TRX is much wider than the R6. Went down to the wreckers this morning and got a whole lever and perch including the electrical connection for $20. The perch has a few light scuff marks on it but I'm sure that they can be rubbed back and sprayed satin black. The only thing I noticed was the tangs for the electrical connection on the R6 face forward and the ones for the TRX face rearwards. Which one did you use Trixz with your conversion?

I got hold on a second hand R6 '03 clutch lever perch and it was an 1,2,3 fit as said before :D

Nah, what I meant was, is it a straight plug in for the TRX connector to the tangs on the R6 clutch switch or do you have to buy the R6 connector loom to plug into your harness? Or can you retro fit the TRX switch onto the R6 lever?

VHT satin black Wheel Paint brought the clutch holder looking close to new. Even used it on my Ventura sports rack that was looking a bit rusty. Might have to spray it now with a bit of clear coat to bring the shine up a bit. Any heads up on that switch, Trixz?

Hey Bob,

it's been a while since I did the conversion, but I took a look at it today and must say that the connector isn't connected (to anything :| ) .

So NO straight plug in, don't know what to convert to get it done.
