Default New levers (complete with perches and master cylinder)

What are you guys using using for replacing levers? I'm terrified of the cheapos, but I'm not spending a grand on them. An 1-200$ good option? I really wanna update my bars.

The ones the bike comes with are designed to work with the calipers on the bike - why do you want to change them?

They ar beat
My clutch lever is so loose it feels like it will fall off at any point , (always has, looks like theres a shim or something on the bottom side) and it's as tight as it can go
break lever is bent up a bit, slight drag when you squeeze it
and it would make the bike look way more up to date! I want some nice shorty levers which a new modern look and feel. It's what I touch and look at the most of my bikes, why not upgrade them?

I bought these cheapos online for my katana, they work, look and feel great, compounded with new grips it totally changed how I felt about the bike.
but everyone says don't trust them....so what do I buy

Any brake system from a newer comparable bike could work. I've seen guys stick on master cylinders from R1's, VFR's whatever fits the handlebar diameter. The clutch on the cane is a cable pull, so your cable is probably stretched out or misadjusted at the clutch case. The levers themselves can be swapped to whatever fits. It's literally just a hunk of aluminum. I put VFR adjustable ones on my cane because they were OEM honda and bolted right in. You are going to have to measure it up, but levers can easily be swapped.
