Again everyone seems to trash d3s but its a personal preference and I personally like them. He also said flash and no one can say they don't look good since you can change grip/collar colors
They suck bro. The metal part spins, they are a PIA to get on. The ends of em suck. The rubber is so soft it doesn't last long enough. I loved the look tho!!! If you ball out, rizoma has similar looking ones that last forever!
Personally I ride clip ons, no bar weights, and renthal race grips. The pro-grips I've been selling a lot of and using on the 02 are really really awesome too!

...and I personally think you've only had them on for a month or two, and at this point even if you DIDN'T like them you've put up such a stink defending them that you'll probably never publicly admit that they suck (even after you find out that they suck first hand).
I can save it! :

It's preference. Two finger braking and clutching is what some do. Others liek 4 fingers on the brake lever to reduce fatigue and also really get amazing feel. Shit, I got 3/4 lengths that are an even nicer compromise! I run shermoto clutch and brembo brake (full length). 3/4 length with the round finish and epic angle may be my next move tho. The comfort of the brembo is amazing and I think the 3/4 size is gonna be the compromise i want.
I truly love how the shermoto folds though and settles into my hand so well, no matter where I am on the bike!!
In fact - Short levers (more specifically, folding levers that say Shermoto on them), are MUCH better. In every aspect, really. And anyone who says other wise, or has a different opinion, or even thinks it's personal preference, in face, have big retard hands.
lol, I have big retarded hands and I hate stock levers.. I rock two finger non folding shorty's much like Shermotos.
Like many have said its all personal preference. I for that fact don't like pulling on a banana shaped levers.

The stock shape is the pits. If they just shaped em better it would be great. The very second you use something else, the stock ones feel so shitty in comparison. Terrible Ergos. Not to mention you gotta tape the fcuking adjustor on it, cause it'll ht the stay on a race bike and adjust itself as you ride. That's always cool too.
