    E-bay. There'll be someone selling the colour you want and don't worry if the vender is from Taiwan. I buy my hoods for SRAM levers from a Taiwanese company and have never had a problem with supply or quality.
    I ride a bike. Doesn't make me green or a tree hugger. I drive a car too.

    Why take the risk? Taiwanese brake lever hoods might suddenly disintegrate, causing your hands to slip from the levers and a fatal crash... :wink::D

    In fairness, the Shimano components are made in the far east anyway- I wouldn't consider failure to be an issue. (Besides, if you're going all out you'll be gripping tightly enough to keep the covers on by pressure if nothing else...)

    Not to fit the current shifters.

    Same for Ultegra 6800 - nothing available.
