Some aftermarket levers are OK, just depends which ones.

Also, when you loosen your perch bolts (an ancient enduro riders trick)
Be sure to loc-tite the bolts...or they will vibrate out and be gone.

loosening levers

Or use "Nyloc" nuts on them! never vibrate loose........ worth carrying a dozen in a few sizes for stuff on your bike in the bottom of your pannier or tool roll too.....maybe if not for you, you could help another biker out of a jam.
