I found my aftermarket e-bay levers (which were imitations of Pazzos and worked just fine) were about halfway between the stock length and shorties.
If in doubt I'd just go with their 'standard' length.

My bike had ASV short levers on it when i got it. I would find it very weird to go back to full-size ones now. And the stock, big, silver levers look really ugly to me now. I see no drawbacks with mine but im not fussy, they work.

Imitations of imitations? Pazzos are rip-offs of CRG. I just wouldn't feel comfortable with a brake lever that's a rip off of a rip off and made God knows where with zero quality control. But lotsa people are.
After thunk. Some of the organised long distance rides apparently require entrants to carry spare levers. In such circumstances I'd seriously consider "made in China" levers rather than paying the extra for a set of official factory parts.

I see your point, it was a risk I was happy taking (in spending the $$$ on parts that 'may' be bad, despite much positive Ebay feedback).
And again in taking a risk using them once they arrived (when I found they looked just fine to my uneducated eyes).
Anecdotally I did a low-speed 'lay down' of my old bike, and it grazed up the end of the (long) Chazzo lever a bit.
Googling 'chazzo lever broken' reveals a few problems with them being loose/having play, but often that's because people haven't refitted a bushing. Can't find any reports of them breaking. Perhaps every single person who had one break, died as a result? Or never bothered posting?

Best Frenemy you could have!
I've got some el-cheapo ebay knocks off, probably 3-4 years now. Boss got gold and they faded to off white. My blue have been good, broke one up by the mount in a bail which made the folding part redundantThey're nice and functional, folding, extendable and adjustable clickers. Had to use a stock clutch lever until I got home (thank goodness I bought two sets) and didn't like the feel of it compared to the ebay knock offs.

Which ones did you buy? Assuming they are still around on ebay?I've got some el-cheapo ebay knocks off, probably 3-4 years now. Boss got gold and they faded to off white. My blue have been good, broke one up by the mount in a bail which made the folding part redundant

This might have been the seller (too long ago to check my history), but the lever design is definitely about right: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Gold-Folding...item5af4ee2699
You've got clickers to adjust reach, the lever has a pivot point to fold and the end has a screw to adjust the length of the lever. All adjustment points covered...

That makes my decision a little easier I have been humming and ha Ing about getting similar ones for a few weeks.

Was looking for something to add to the bike .. give it a reward for being awesome ... went here and ordered shorty levers for the big Bandit. Just to try them. Will see .. (They were cheap - on sale at nearly half advertised price)

interesting topic! been looking at replacing the levers on mine, as not entirely happy with the long throw on 'em. could anyone please advise/recommend the best one to start out with on this site : http://shop.the2wheels.com ? I see it has model specific ones but i wasn't sure how to find a compatible model for my bike. i have the 1998 ballius i (kawasaki zr250)
Nana
Find out if the levers you have are still in production and if they are are they used on any more modern bikes.
Generally only made to be compatible with < 10 year old models bit you might get lucky of the same pattern is still in use.

Go to a site that has parts diagrams. Look up your levers numbers. Then do a parts lookup and see what is compatible. If the part number is superceded look up the replacement number.
