Part of me is saying that you get what you pay for, the Suzuki original lever is exactly what I have on there now. I know it works, but it is a bit bland. The Taiwanese one is essentially a slightly better polished lever and according to the E-Bay page they claim to be making parts for the big manufacturers anyway. The Hong Kong option looks just too good to be true, all of those flashy anodised bits and funky machined levers may well look great, but what if the lever snaps off on the motorway, I will regret buying it then!

Hmmm, stuck now. Too much choice... Advice please lovely people?
In the same (slightly damaged) boat - http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=167063 - and equally unsure. If slightly more embarrassed than you. Those Hong Kong ones do look the dogs danglies but whether they're as tough as they look? If you make a choice before I do, let me know!
