Why I don't buy cheap parts

This video says it all: https://www.instagram.com/p/-wV-sJLU-7/

I see people buy cheap ebay parts all the time, and it makes me cringe. Over the years I've learned that there is a very good reason to buy the more expensive products. You might think, "It's a clip on, or a leaver", but even things that you think are simple can break. The guy in the video handled it like a pro, but it could have gone horribly wrong, especially if he was on a two lane road.

You all can carry on buying cheap ebay rearsets, levers, etc. I'll buy the clipons from Driven racing and not wonder if they're ever going to snap at full lean and get me killed.

Okay, that's a cautionary bit of info. I find myself considering how often I stand up on the pegs...

I'm guilty of the above, intact I'd actually call my handlebar setup quiet dangerous right now, since I modified them to make them fit... Crazy stuff!
