Just back from a couple of hours ride on town, main and back roads and I love the lever. It doesn't trap my fingers like the oem, I have it on the closest setting and I can't pull it back to the bars like I could on the oem on a mid setting. It also seems to give better control especially in trail braking, not sure why that would be but I am not complaining
Well worth it in my opinion.

 

Just fitted the Ali one and very pleased. About 1.5 inches shorter and dial allows for closer to bar than OEM one. However there's no bushing like the OEM has.

 

No bushing in the Puig ones either but they are anodised so they have a hard and resilient surface where the oem ones are not anodised (as far as I am aware) so would be relatively soft and thus wear away quite quickly.

...where the oem ones are not anodised (as far as I am aware) so would be relatively soft and thus wear away quite quickly.

I just remembered I had the oem lever in the house and just checked for conductivity and they are conductive so I can say for definite they are not anodised and thus soft.

 

Ha ha sensitive content it says Maybe the dirt engrained on my hands is upsetting the algorithms

 

Another little pro tip is to loosen your 2 bolts for the lever/mirror assembly every so slightly. This will hopefully allow the lever to pivot up when the bike takes a dirt nap and not snap off. Keep a 1/4 drive T-handle with an 8mm socket handy too.

 

Any issues with the cruise control not working with the after-market brake levers?

 

No, works fine for me.
