Quote from: LawrenceChinese stuff tends to be cheaper also because they don't mind so much about copyright laws and as such R&D is much cheaper - buy one, take it down a machine shop and get them to copy it Also with Japanese/Western stuff you pay for the name a lot of the time which can bump up the price a lot. I plan on getting some of these levers when I pull my finger out, the long brake lever is a pain in the arse while filtering.nothing to do with the labour rate then??

Some of the ne'er do wells seem to think a cast lever from Yamaha is stronger than a billet lever from T8082 if that's really what they are made from. Once you have used a decent cranked lever, you will hate standard levers.
