V brake lever question

I have replaced the butterfly bars on one of my bikes with nitto mustache bars. This means new levers . Which is the best type of replacement . The bars have a diameter of 24mm .

I have seen those in pictures . Do they have the right cable pull for V brakes ? I am also fitting Shimano bar end shifters .

This set up look good to me .

🤔 ...... think your choice is going to very limited. I was going to suggest some BMX V-brake levers, but the 24mm bar puts the spanner in the works.

Those Nitto have a very short straight section too, I can't see you doing better than what you proposed already having V-brake drop-bar levers.
 
I liked the 287V levers (sold my set and then regretted it). Tektro also make some more modern but not too ugly looking drop bar V brake levers
