At first glance they look the real deal and at a decent price too, but should these not have an alu insert at the ends to prevent bar end crushing? And then I spotted the sellers location...

Or am I becoming a cynical old bugger?

The inserts (B.E.R.Ts.) weren't fixed in place but were loose. I know they were supplied with the 118 bar but not sure if they came with the plain-guage version as it probably didn't need them.
Those in the ebay ad look ok, but it's hard to say for sure.
 
100% chinese fake :LOL:
They were sold for $40 in chinese auction site, until one day the seller found out the price on ebay is much higher.
 
I think the originals only came with a 3 degree bend, the ebay jobbies look more like 5+

It seems an odd thing to fake an old mid-priced bar when they could just as easily copied a more desirable one!
