I quite fancy the ASV levers. It's just a shame they don't do a Black lever with Gold bits as an option. :( I like the Chinese ones I have except I wont something with a little less play (movement) in them. I will also go for the straight shorties next time rather than the adjustable length. When my bike got knocked over the weak point was where the bolt attaches for sliding the lever up and down the shaft and that took the brunt of the forces from the impact. The ball on the end survived but they did not fold to well as the nut will either be too tight so they don't flop about under normal riding conditions or too loose where the lever flops about. I could never get it to the right tension. A spring or a cam mechanism would work well.

Don't know if the xxd ones are cheap or not. I won them on eBay for a tidy sum
