Here's a slightly shorter Lifan X-Pect replacement brake lever for only $8.

Some people complain about the levers on the X-Pect being too long. They make it hard to install hand guards and they're so long that they easily bend if you drop the bike.

Here's a brake lever I just bought on ebay that perfectly fits the factory mount and is about an inch shorter.

I have not been able to find a clutch lever that fits the factory mount. Anyone know of one?

You can find many replacement clutch levers that come with a new mount, but I'd like one that fits the factory mount so that the factory interlock switch and mirror can stay in place.

I saw those and thought of trying them, but long delivery time and someone on an X-Pect Facebook group said they didn't fit.

I just decided to roll the dice and order a set. I also sent them a message after buying saying that I needed them for an X-Pect. We will see what happens.

Why not just buy the whole assembly for the same price? That way you know everything will work. No more hoping that fit. https://www.amazon.com/Universal-Han...91&sr=1-7&th=1

I considered that option, but I don't want to replace the factory mounts. I'm not sure of the quality of that master cylinder compared to the original and I would have to bypass the clutch lever switch.

I've been using those aftermarket assemblies (clutch and brake) and they work good. I think it was less than 30 bux for the pair and they are a real pretty too ( I got blue).

I've installed them on my Hawk several years ago and work much better than stock.

good to know! thanks

UPDATE:
The replacement brake lever snapped like a twig on it's first fall during an off-road ride, which caused us to end the ride early. Unlike the factory lever, it did not bend, it just snapped.

So, I would not recommend the shorter $8 brake lever.
