Default Which rearsets?

I'm going to attempt my first poll! I can't decide between what make of rearsets to get. I've narrowed it down to: Diamond, Sato or Gilles.

Diamond - Have been recommended by a few people who regularly trackday their bikes & told they stand up well to accidents & spares are easily available.

Gilles - I like the way they look, many don't though. I've been told they flex a bit too much but are generally OK.

Sato - Heard they're good, but not had much other feedback. Like the look of them too.

So, which ones do you lot have & what are they like?

I'm very pleased with mine... yes, they have a little flex, but they are cheap. They're beautifully made, loads of adjustment, lined with bearings, all very smooth.

My only criticism, is that they bent rather easily when I slipped last month. But they were a very good and cheap alternative to buying suzuki originals.

Valter Moto are good. Try Rosmoto to see if they make them for the Kwak, very tuff and offer good feel.

I'll add in Harris too

Of the 3 in the Poll, I have only ever used the Giles, so voted for them ... to be honest it is a bit unfair as I haven't tried the other two!

I like Gilles, but didn't buy them because of feedback I received on the carbon kick plates, which are apparently pathetic.

You can pick them up for about £260 though... which is still very dear - but others can cost more.

At £152 delivered (via eBay) I was very pleased with the GBs. I don't believe any of the others are worth £100 - £200 more!

I've got Valter Moto and very happy I am with them to. Strong, simple, and cheap!
