Default Chinese brake levers
Ok so I rarely order anything from china, especially something that matters, but goddamn these are good looking, anyone ever try them?

Those look exactly like the ones I have on my bike right now, other than mine are black and not gold. And yes, they did come from China.

These are the ones I was looking at getting:

BMW S1000RR 2010 2011 Racing Brake Clutch Levers - eBay (item 300521492208 end time Mar-03-11 05:56:20 PST)

MC Motoparts is the "big" seller of these, although I imagine they are mostly sourced from the same places. The only legitimate complaint I've heard vs CRG/Pazzo is that they don't use a brass bushing for one of the pivots - but I've gotten ASV levers that required re-using your stock bushing as well, so .

The only reason I haven't ordered any yet is that a) I don't really like the CRG/Pazzo style these have - I tend to choke up on levers and end up on the dogleg bend, and b) I had to save up to buy the aubergine sheets to impress Jenn.

For some reason, I highly doubt that!

I already told you I thought it was cool that you have eggplant colored sheets! Kinda surprised, but I think it's cool! A guy that actually tries to put colors together.

I feel better knowing other track riders using them, like I said, normally I try to avoid chinese stuff but like KS said, probably made in a tawain factory where htye all come from anyhow
