Good place to buy aftermarket clutch and brake lever?

Want to buy some pretty blue clutch and break levers for my '06 but don't want that ones on eBay from China. Anyone bought any aftermarket levers not from China that you like?
Thanks!

Hell I'll go with China if their junk I'll sell them. Everything on eBay is 2008+

There's been some mix-ups with pre-gens. You may need to upgrade to EX500 perch on one of the levers.

Upgrade to the ex500 and get the clutch perch off eBay used. I did and only spent about $44 and about 30 minutes of work. The ones I bought were from Taiwan but feel like oem to me.

I paid $20 for some really well reviewed ones on eBay and yep they came from
china. Just ordered them this morning. Gonna be a few weeks for delievery though. But after much research the Chinese aim to please as my good friend told me and it appears as though they do. I suppose ordering items like this is fine, just not major engine parts etc. Also heard oversees fairings for new gen bikes are garbage. Can't wait to get them on they're some shorties and just want to give my Lucy a little bling. She deserves it. Thanks for the input as always!

I recently bought some generic aftermarket levers on eBay for ~$25 from China. Keep in mind that even if the listing says they'll fit the 88-07 Ninja 250, they likely won't -- the clutch lever will fit, but the brake lever will not.

So once you receive them, you'll have to send the seller a message saying that the lever doesn't fit and send them some pics of the stock brake lever so they can get a better idea of the correct lever to send you.

At least that's what I had to do, but once I received the correct brake lever, everything fits and works great!

Well whoever I bought it from actually messaged me and asked me what year my ninja was so they could send the right sizes. So seems they're proactive in preventing the issue you had. I'll let you guys know when they arrive how they fit. Could be another week yet. Gotta love the China Post.

A little update so the brake fits it was the clutch that didn’t fit the ex500 clutch perch so I brought a used perch from the new gen 300 and it fits fine and works as it should. The only difference is it’s not a clamp on type.
