They are properly sized for the ever growing in popularity urine test we all so badly want to pass. 

I've had to do a few of those for clearance, I always fill them crazy full.  The snap cap models are the best.  You fill it until the liquid is bulging on top then snap the top down -- some will squirt out so use a paper towel.  There is no way for them to open it without spilling your piss.   [thumbsup]

I just ordered a set of these yesterday.  They're coming from HK so it will take a while.  From the pics on ebay, they look like they might be decent quality levers.  We'll see once their installed.  For under a $100 clams, shipped, its worth a shot.  As soon as I get these mounted, I'll snap some high res pics.

To all you naysayers...  Here they are.  I just got these today, from Taiwan.  Took a few weeks but it was well worth it.  For under $100 a pair, shipped, these cant be beat.  The quality of the materials and the workmanship is very good.  Stainless hardware, roller bearing, nice CNC work, rock solid but lightweight.  I haven't seen the CRG or Pazzo levers up close but judging from pics, I would venture to say that these are pretty close in quality.  Maybe a slight step down, finish wise.  I don't want to speak too soon because I haven't installed them yet but so far I'm very impressed.  I'll post pics with them installed soon. :)

Can you flip the 3 bolts in order to give a cleaner look?

If not I'm sure a cap screw would be an option.

you'd have to get shorter screws for a cap screw.  but I have to say that's a fugly oversight on their part.  flip them and use low profile socket cap screws.

I'm pretty sure that's the bottom of the lever with the nylock nuts.

None of those pics are of the top of the lever.

Just chop the screws down a bit with a Dremel and you're good to go. Just make sure to clean up the threads with a bastard file. Also kinda surprised they would have a big honkin' nylock nut on there, but hey, I guess that's why you're getting them for so cheap.

Also correct that that would be the side that's facing down, so it might not be so egregious of an oversight when installed.
