Any luck with brake levers from Aliexpress?

[bonchef]

I found Pazzo overpriced and have success with aftermarket levers from China before for my other bikes.

Unfortunately, for my 22 Vit, the folding one I tried has a smaller/shallower hole for the plunger compared to the OEM one. Have to return it (inconsistent braking, sometimes squishy, sometimes oversensitive - DANGER), likely because the plunger is bent a bit. The vendor recommend replacing the spring behind the plunger but I rather not mess with master cyclinder assembly.

Btw I saw another post here with non-folding ones and the plunger still bent a bit, but I think the person returned them for different reason.

Too bad, I really like the finish and feel of them and the clutch side is fine. Would like to check if anyone has success with (cheaper) aftermarket levers so far?

I also have a 22 Vit and I've tried Aliexpress levers and didn't think much of them....to cheap.
Dunno if u want standard or short levers and i'm not keen on folding levers but after Ali I purchased MZS short levers.
If u purchase directly from their website their much cheaper. The levers fit perfectly and have a great feel and look to them. Your supplied with 2 SS spacers but u don't need them.

Great! I have used MZS before for my SV650 and they worked great. The only reason I did not go back this time was I like to try folding lever. But that's not really so important.

I had aftermarket levers on my previous bike because the stock levers were not adjustable and were fugly.

The stock levers were extruded, not CNC'd like the aftermarket levers.

When I got my '22 Vit I noticed right away that I liked the feel of it's extruded levers better than CNC'd levers.

I think the stock levers are great. I like the way they are bent and I like the slimness.

I know than some here have complained that they are sloppy but it doesn't seem to bother me.
