To spend $300+ on DP levers is just plain stupid. Those "ebay" levers do the job just fine. I'm on my second pair of "knock off" levers (1st on my Panigale) and they are EXACTLY the same as my Pazzo levers I've had in the past. I purchased limited edition white pazzo levers off motomummy for my Daytona 675 couple years ago. When my bike got tipped over in a parking lot, I didn't feel like spending another $200 for another set and figured I may as well try out the cheap $70 ..... Not only were they EXACTLY the same lever in looks and fitment and all that, they didn't wear off like it's been mentioned in previous posts. I went with levers off of adjustablelevers dot com for my Panigale because they were the same exact color match as all my Rizoma parts (blue). All for $90 shipped. I won't mention any names but I know for a fact I'm not the ONLY person who has these levers on their Ducati. Certain things make sense to spend the extra cash on. If the ridiculously overpriced levers functioned any better or even looked any better than the cheap stuff, I would definitely spend the $$. Afterall, it's only paper. Reality is, they do the exact same job. Now SOME of those cheap levers do have problems with fitment and can be "loose". I can definitely understand if that is the case. Mine have no looseness whatsoever and I'd buy again in a heartbeat. I've splurged $800 on my titanium bolt kit. Clearly I don't have an issue with dishin out the cash on unnecessary mods. Then again, I didn't have any other choice but one company that had that purplish blue finish to it like the Proti bolts have.
