I bought these, they work well and are non-folding: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B078HRT6VS?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
The slop in the pivots is to be expected from a lower-end bike like ours. My 1988 BMW GS levers still feel like a Swiss watch after 35 years, it just comes down to manufacturing precision.

I’m sure it’s expected but it still annoys me to death. Did your new levers fix it?

No, there was still play, plus the lever has a second pivot point (for the reach adjustment) which has some wiggle. I added a thin shim washer at the main pivot which helped a bit.
OK, thanks! I’ll start with trying to shim the original parts and see if that helps. There’s play at two places on the original part.

I don't notice slop on the levers of my '22 Vit. I love the slimness of them over chunky CNC levers. I also love the bend of them, the clutch lever being bent differently than the brake lever.
