Why do you think they would be crap quality?
FWIW I have a set on the Honda. They fit perfectly, work perfectly and look good. What more could you want? ;)

The have a funny store name, oh & FWIW the last item I bought from china was shite so if the price is too good to be true then it probably is, In saying that if Daisy can vouch for these from a prior purchase then listen up ;)

I was advised to get the shorty version as the long ones are a bit toooo long.
Mine came from here http://stores.ebay.com/the2Wheels/_i.ht ... 1646872013
This seller gives more colour options - one of the others I looked at only had red adjusters on the black.

I got them because the standard CBR clutch lever isn't adjustable.

I think the trick is to see what everyone else is buying. If its crap you find out pretty quick without spending your own money.

Yep agree Rob I wouldn't but a Chinese mc ( considered it but couldn't bring myself to do it) although most of their feedback is positive not negative as suggested.

As for levers I don't see tolerances playing a major factor as they arent under that much stress. As long as they fit I wouldn't hesitate to use them.
