easy install, works like a dream, wasnt sure about them initially, but now i prefer them than originals, slightly shorter than factory, even tho they are the longer titax, not stubbys
install, can be ever so slightly tricky if you have huge hands and bad eyesight.

They dont seem to be in the USA so much, I found one guy on ebay with a set that is "out of the original package, but not used" but there are so many knock offs on ebay, I dont know whether to take the chance, he wants $55 plus shipping .........,

in my experience the 'branded' ones are milled from ingots of virgin aluminium and the 'knockoffs' are milled from ingots of reclaimed or recycled aluminium and are therefore supposedly weaker!
one of the mates has a set of chinese levers on his bike and they seem fine, not sure how strong theyd be in any kind of impact tho?

i would not be too worried about using recycled aluminium,
a few microns less of a cheaper paint,and/or quality of anadize,quality of mill finish, precision of fit/which may dictate lifespan of use , these would be my concerns of buying a copy... i presume the little cut out on the lever near the end, is a weak point, designed to snap off in the event of a spill, therefore leaving you enough lever to get home??

I'd try the ones on ebay that say they are titax, IF the guy had a return policy, but he doesnt, dont blame him, when I sell stuff on ebay I say no returns too, they say the sellers are the scammers, but I have found out that a lot of the time it is actually the buyer that is the scammer, and ebay has a policy that the seller can not leave negative feedback, even if the buyer is a jerk ! Thats why I don't sell on there too much anymore
