Would not touch these things out of china with a 10ft pole. Hopefully the next guy who did buy them doesnt lose it and take me out one day
Bought some bike accessories which some components were obviously made in china, was ment to tighten some nuts to a certain tension, the nuts re threaded themselves before getting close

Did any one get these "cheap levers" installed by a "Professional Mechanic"??

Dittoo.. i wonder if the same problems would have occurred even with oem/pazzo/whatever as a result of a botch up install rather than the product..

So far i have had no need for anything other than OEM - but then again, i have replaced levers before with standard-design replacements - surely these replicas would have the same issues?

From my own experience I've had oem , chineese and genuine pazzo's . I am a mechanic and I can say there were no faults with the chineese levers At all in the 30000kays plus of commuting and weekend riding I did over 18months

I have bought 4 sets of genuine Suzuki Chinese-made engine rebuild kits for my GN250s. Suzuki subcontracted a chinese company to build complete GN250s for them. I have built two engines with them, and both have done around 5000km each and are great. They cost $60 each for new barrel, piston, rings, gudgeon, and all gaskets. The same genuine jap parts cost $610 from Suzuki here.
Did crows nest trail ride with mate on chinese chooky ran perfect all day with the exception of a blown tube. $1500 bike so not a real cheap one. (grudge 250cc)
Have had a business advisor been pushing me to buy a new set of Chinese 150cc bikes to replace my GN250s in my school. Around $2k each they look ok but I wasn't convinced. Took a guy for his licence on his own Chinese made Sachs 150 recently, and with 14000km on the clock you could move the back wheel 3 inches coz the swingarm bushes were shot.
Guess some stuff is OK and some isn't.
