1200 Recommend Some Levers

Dragging this thread up again:

Without getting into another debate about Cheap Chinese levers (which I'm sure are fine), does anyone have any of the following fitted?
I prefer a long lever and I'm not sure if I should go for flip up ones, how stable are these in normal use?

I have choice between:
Evotech
Ducati Multistrada 1200 S D air Clutch and Brake Levers | Buy Ducati Parts

V-Trec
V-Trec VX Safety Brake + Clutch Lever Set Ducati Multistrada 1200 10-16

Or these French ones (which are probably Chinese)
Long Brake & Clutch Levers Pair Titanium CNC DUCATI MULTISTRADA 1200 / S 2010 15 | eBay

I'm leaning towards V-Trec...

 

Ordered the V-Trec ones...

 

They look a decent price for branded levers

 

I've got the Zeta Pivot clutch and brake lever fitted, i'd say a proper 3 finger lever set up instead of the two finger (short) lever, which works nicely. They fold up in a crash, are beautifully machined and are adjustable for reach. Another plus point is that the finish matches the master cylinders...

Oh, price is about £50 per lever (if you can get hold of them)

 

Fitted mine today, the clutch was fine but the brake lever was an issue, I've torn the rubber dust boot, just trying to see if I can get this as a spare part (rather than just being the spare part that I am )

 

KTM dealer is the best source.
I got one from a dealer called Trevor Pope.

 

Thanks, after a lot of googling yesterday I discovered this as well. Bermuda and Ducati don't supply this as a spare part. By KTM do (and it's the same Brembo part!

Part number 61013008000

Allegedly, the reason for this is that Brembo required Ducati to agree to a disclaimer in order to continue to supply parts.
Ducati failed to agree to this but KTM did agree, so you have to get any Brembo parts you need from a KTM dealer.

 

On my brake levers, there is a plunger that goes through the rubber boot to the master cylinder.
I found the key is to grease the rubber and plunger well and to slide the plunger into the boot first and then attach the plunger to the lever or was it the lever to the pivot?
Whichever it is, the point is that assembling everything else first and then trying to squeeze the plunger into the boot is what leads to tearing the boot.

 

Yep, that was exactly the issue...
