Default Levers--Clutch and Front brake--Good quality

What are good quality (hopefully stronger than OEM) levers for the clutch and front brake?

-I broke my clutch lever in half and bent my front brake.

Thanks

Weak levers protect perches.

Have you got hand guards?

Get some barkbusters they will save you money on the levers.

+1 on bark busters ... they're way cheaper than hand injuries and levers and look cool too. Also, a bent or broken lever is better than breaking what it's attached to.

You could also get "Pivot" levers that fold backwards in a crash. But if you get barkbusters you wont need them so much.
