| vortex rearsets are awesome! |

Pros: they're extremely light, i believe they're CNC machined.
super easy to install and come with all the necessary parts.
the adjustability really makes this product stand out. FAR SUPERIOR to stock feel.
the pegs are and shift/brake levers stick to your boot like glue, they're sharp!
they're only slightly more expensive than stock-replacement, so it's a perfect upgrade for when you've dropped your bike and have to replace a broken peg and/or brake lever. >_<
i got them from kneedraggers in less than 3 days, which other companies had quoted me 2 months "backorder" or some nonsense.
although i bought the black, for my black bike, the gold looks REALLY good on every bike i've seen it on so far!!!
Cons: the bar than runs from the bolt that is attached to the shift-lever up to the bolt where it actually shifts in the transmission... the stock one is a nice 10mm hex-shaped rod, so it's easy to adjust. the replacement ones are perfectly round, so you have to get a pair of pliers to gently adjust it, and it still scratches the rod a little bit. not that big a deal, but still.
the right-side(brake side) has a REALLY awesome guard for your heel, but the shifter side, you know, WHERE THE CHAIN IS, is probably HALF the size of the other. which really bugs me, in a lefthand turn you've got your toes on the peg, heel turned in, knee out, and you feel your heel ON TOP of the part that's supposed to be blocking exactly that situation.
all in all. even though i had a couple small, nitpick-y BS complaints, they're really are a great buy and i suggest that if you're even considering buying rearsets, these are the ones to get. the adjustability and sharpness of the pegs are really where these things shine above the rest.
and all you need to install it even comes in your stock tool kit(if you don't actually have your own 10mm wrench and allen wrench for some reason...?)
