They are getting better, a lot better compared to let`s say 10 years ago, but they are not just there yet..
I have bought a lot of Chinese stuff (electronic gadgets, knives, bike accessories, etc..) Quality varies from very very good to total crap.. But when it comes to brakes and other vital...
I don`t know what brands are you buying, but I never have to rework anything when I buy brands like Rizoma, Puig, Pazzo, Braking, etc.. But on the other side I have to rework something almost everytime when I buy something from China.
When you install levers with bad tolerances on master...
I went with Braking levers (extendible + foldable) - very good quality. But you can also find a ton of cheap chinese knockoffs of these exact levers.
Set of Braking levers will cost you 160 eur (210 usd). Chinese levers will set you back only 60 usd. But the difference is obvious.
If...
These Chinese levers looks nice, the price is great, but...
Quality of Chinese levers in nowhere near the quality of known brands.
They look great when you buy them, but anodizing is crap! Half of these levers will fade within one year of exposure to elements (such as sun, ...).

A 2012 R1 is 15.000 - 16.000 eur (20 - 21.000 USD)
Bikes in the USA are CHEAP!! :) Me and my friends are always talking about how great it would be if we had your prices for cars, bikes, electronic and other stuff :)
Because...
I also ordered from this seller. He was willing to send the Kit to Slovenia (Europe), but like said before, I am still waiting for the other box, because USPS misshiped one box to Norway. But the seller is responsive and trying to resolve this issue. It seems he is a good and honest guy...
I am also waiting for the Retro Kit to be delivered to Slovenia (Europe). It was also sent in two boxes on 12/22/2011. One box arrived to Slovenian customs office on 12/30/2011, but the other box was sent to Norway and arrived to Norway customs office on 12/30/2011. WTF? Both boxes were sent...
