I just received my set directly from Hong Kong...I have a set of real Pazzo levers on my other bike (sv 650), but did not feel like dropping 179.00 right now, so Chinese it is. They ended up being 44.00 total.
I bought silver levers with black adjustors since its very hard for people to mess up the color. Both sets feel great. I doubt I coudl tell the difference in a blind test. If anything, the tolerances on the knock-off levers feel better. Less play and extremely crisp adjustments.
I'd love to see the country of origin from other high-end levers. I'm guessing several may be from china and re-branded.
