Brake clevis upgrade

[Godking1]

The brake clevis on my KLR 650 is pretty worn out, which is weird considering it doesn't have a lot of miles on it, but I'll replace it anyway. I saw some aftermarket models online, but I don't know if they're worth it. Should i get one of those or stick with oem?

You're not the first one I've heard about with an OEM clevis wearing quickly.
Anyway, many riders I know opt for aftermarket because they're often made from stronger materials like steel or billet aluminum.
That kind of material improves durability over the stock part.
I think it's a good small investment for the peace of mind and longevity it offers.

Yeah, I wouldn't mind paying more if it lasts longer, so I wouldn't have any problems going aftermarket? Which brands do you recommend?
