Looking for some help from my fellow Ninja 1000 riders.

I'm looking for aftermarket levers and can't seem to find any. I wanted the Puig 3.0, but can't find them in stock that include the level mount.

Thoughts?

These work great, tried and tested on my former 2016 Ninja 1000.

I'm sure those levers fit, and they are top of the line.

The 2020 and newer bikes have a switch for the front brake to shut down cruise control. You can imagine having cruise control set to 75. If you applied your brake, it would be nice if the engine started slowing.

For only that reason, I think you'll need something listed specifically for your 2020 and newer bike.

2020 onwards is super fussy Cruise will not work if the lever is not correct

Truthfully, aftermarket levers became a thing when CRG made them is @1995 ish.

The advantage to them was adding some color to the bike, but the real + was the ability to adjust the distance of lever to bar, based on hand sizes.

Now that the distance adjustment is built into our stock levers, the aftermarket levers doesn't offer much.

Definitely not worth messing up your cruise control over.

Yep, for years I "adjusted" stock levers to fit my short fingers with a bit of heat and judicious use of a piece of pipe. No need anymore! Since I preferred non-reflective black I had them powder coated as well. Local shop would just add my levers into someone else's "black" order and charge me $10 for the levers after I pre-prepped (wrapped with masking tape) the areas not to be coated. Nowadays it's just a cosmetic thing.

If you see a close up picture of Kawasakis World Superbike, it uses the stock clutch lever and perch. This is the perch and lever that came before the current model we have.

I'm sure Team Kawasaki has a budget, but they would use something else if it offered any advantage. look at that triple clamp. Hand machining parts is no problem.

I recently got some ASV levers, installed them on the one day we haven't had rain so far. Perfect fit, plenty of color choices for the lever and the adjuster wheel, and they shipped out in two days. I've never had spendy levers before, but I have had cheap ones. I'll never go cheap again, the fit and finish is top notch, and there is nearly zero slop anywhere on them. They made the OEM ones feel like cheap junk, haha!
