    They do say ASV on the front of the lever and were from a 2008 bike if that makes any difference.

    Agree that they look like Chinese knock off's.

    Get straight back onto the seller and request a return for a refund, or better yet go through ebay abitration stating that an "expert" has verified them to be counterfeit (dont quote @Manofsteel as your expert though :eek: ;) )

    Dirty buggers on ebay, full of scheisters :mad:

    As the others have mentioned, they look fake. The span adjusters are not the ASV style which are adjuster wheels rather than a adjuster tab.

    The part numbers are Pazzo but the style and positioning don't look right.

    I have requested a return and the seller has agreed. He said he took them off his bike when he bought it but either way they are snide.
    Thanks for the confirmation all.

    You've been quite lucky there, getting a refund on used bike parts from a private seller.:)

    Anything I sell on ebay is offered with no returns or refund. But then again I wouldn't sell anyone a load of shite!!:rolleyes:

    I'd of returned them purely because they are gold!!! Whatever possessed you?? :D
