Not that at all. Fail to see how they can justify over £200 for a set, past that they never see my money. Wouldn't hesitate to pay for what I want, but I have to see it's value.
I did ! All Relative ...... I'm with you the Dp one are a joke at that price. But it's like the old saying "you get what you pay for" In terms of quality sloppy bearings etc. Just my opinion .....
Fair points all around guys. I guess its a matter of taste and preference. These MOTO CORSE one are a serious piece of bling and ideal for a perfectionist rider, the devil is in the details with these as with all MC products. However for someone who's not bothered too much on looks I can completely see why they would feel ripped off. In my personal opinion these are much better than the DP ones.
The 1st things to go 'plonk' when you drop a bike are the expensive rear sets. Buy junk ones that work is my advice. I learnt this expensive lesson the hard way.
I had some Chinese ones on my old Honda and they were shocking build quality. One side was ok and did what it said on the tin, whereas the other side had tolerences all over the place so the components moved around. I doubt they would break but it must have been a fair bit of pressure on the peg bolts when it all moved under my weight, and felt horrible.
From my experience of purely looking at different rearsets, the more expensive ones are CNC machined from single pieces of aluminium or titanium then the movements are connected by expensive bushes and titanium fixings where as the cheap rearsets are just laser cut pieces of metal and are connected by cheap bushes and steal bolts. As said before 'you get what you pay for' I suppose they both do the same job it's down to personal preference. I can't say though that I've ever bought cheap so that in the event of a crash I'll save myself a few quid on repairs.
I bought a spare set of standard rear sets off eBay to keep handy just in case. That said I don't feel the need to move the stock position so all I bought was aftermarket footpegs to replace the oem ones made of ice!
Tbh I only buy rearsets for track use, so cheap makes disposable...which is useful And using race shift on a duke makes it even cheaper
Anyone got a close up pic of rearsets on a bike? I'd like to see the difference in position from stock.
Thanks Big M, perfect ref. I must admit they do look good. Design Corse, any ref pics of any brand, on a bike though. Big M's shot from that angle shows exactly what I was after. Now I can compare the position. I must admit I also find the brake pedal position too high on the standard setup, but...I haven't tried adjusting it yet.
