My rear brake lever throw, or travel, seems totally out of just. It is approx 200 mm or 7.87 inches from resting point to firm feeling. Are yalls distance this great?? Totally seems uncharacteristic. Yes, it’s an aftermarket lever. Insight???

I haven't measured mine but it is not much. Certainly not 7 inches. Bleed them and see if that fixes the problem.

Definitely shouldn't be 7".... If you do bleed them make sure you remove the rear caliper and position it so the bleeder is above the piston or you won't be able to fully bleed the system. Also put something in between the pads to keep them from moving in, I used just folded up some card board until it was a tight fit then used a wooden shim to take up any space left.
