Default ASV Clutch & brake levers

Has anyone got any experience with ASV aftermarket levers?
I've got a curvy with cheap chinese aftermarket stubby levers, but the bike came with the original levers in a box.
I'm currently deciding whether to put the originals back on or shell out for a hopefully better set of aftermarket ones.
All comments and opinions gratefully received.

In my humble opinion: the standard levers are just fine, the bike is best the way the designer intended it.

I have a set of the Chinese dogleg levers on mine. I find them more comfortable and easier to adjust with gloved hands than the originals. My only complaint about them would be that the pivot hole on the clutch lever ought to be bushed. I've just replaced my first pair of them with another identical set after 7 or 8 years as the hole had elongated. I'm intending to buy a another pair and fit a bush to the pivot hole.

**EDIT** just to add that mine are the full length dogleg levers, not the short ones.

Not the ASV, but I bought my bike with two identical (I thought) black shorty adjustable levers. Brake lever is a Pazzo, so I assumed clutch was as it looked the same. A few years later the clutch lever is a silvery grey colour, no longer black. Looks like it's a cheap copy. Has a bit of play in it now too, but a washer seems to sort that out. The genuine Pazzo is still black and solid.


I've always found the clutch lever fairly heavy, even after I fitted a new cable which I though would fix it. Possibly as the levers are short?
