Not cheap-looking but not as obviously expensive to look at as the real thing, if you get my drift? I went for plain alloy ones for the R1, closest match to the original levers in colour possible. So far, so good.
I have read reports from riders in the USA who've gone for Chinese ones that are colour anodized and found that they fade a little in the sun. But then again, coloured levers and other accessories are a bit tart's handbag.
Fit and function is fine. Again, not quite as precisely engineered as the Pazzos et al but plenty good enough for the price. I think I paid about £35 for the pair, delivered to Spain. At that price, what's there to lose in trying?

PS. If your travels bring you south to the coast at any time, let me know. Lots of excellent roads down this way that I'd be happy to point you at.
