I have been asked by Ils by u2u if the CRG Levers on my bike at their "closest to bar" setting are closer than sandard levers, truth is I don't know.

Could someone with standard levers measure the distance from the tip of the lever to the bar so that I can get a figure to compare mine to and assist him ....

Cheers .....

When I saw the title I thought you meant something else...you know.....for comparison purposes. Shame on me:(

From when I rode your bike back from the chain change at Brands I found your levers suited my ickle hands a lot better than the standard ones, so at a guess I would say they were closer.
If I wasn't 20 miles from my bike I would go measure them.

From the centre of the ball on the end of a standard lever to the centreline of the bar = 100mm
From the leading edge of the lever at the knuckle to the centreline of the bar = 72mm

I fitted CRG levers to mine and have found them very good indeed, build quality is superb but I think the price is to high.

have been looking at the crg levers myself but as my 748 is on a p plate (97) they never seem to have them listed, will later 748 crg levers fit ???
