I've come and gone full circle with levers. Tried a bunch of shit, went back to stock. Never an issue with fitting them, super cheap to replace every time you go down. Unless you got little midget hands and need the clutch lever closer to the bar or you want a remote brake adjuster, no need.
Funny to see just about every single top Moto America team running stock levers as well...
Funny how prices differ around the globe. Here usually if you spot aftermarket levers on a bike, it probably has been down, because chinese levers cost 1/3 the price of OEM levers.
Or they have been replaced just for the looks.
The huge problem with Chinese levers is the lack of quality control. Many of the companies that "make their own" are simply sub contracted out as well and they have no over sight of each set of levers made. I bought some for my old R6 years back off a forum member who 'had his own company'. Suffered from a lot of brake fade at Road Atlanta. Had a friend suggest putting stock levers back on, I did, the majority of it went away. The tolerance of the hole where the pivot bolt goes was larger than the OEM spec, causing more lever movement with no actuation of the brakes. It wasn't bad, and certainly didn't feel as shitty as it felt while braking hard into T10A, but since then OEM levers are all I run.
I have no doubt that the $100 a piece Pazzo levers or equivalent have much more QC than those kind of levers (and especially ebay Chinese levers), but I ain't paying $200 for levers.
