I'm very tempted by the GBmoto ones....

Also they have bearings in, which is the proper way of doing things.

Definately.

Go for the GB-Moto ones. Really good build quality, adjustable and they crash very well and the guys are really helpful afterwards just selling you the bits you need.

I got some Valter Moto rearsets from Demon Tweeks. Type 1 or something I think. They're non adjustable but being just over 6" didn't want anything too high. I think they are higher than the stock SVs pegs, also if I do need drop the bike and damage pegs ect, spares are avalible from PDQ.
Think they only cost me ?130. Just waiting for a gear shift rod from Pro Bolt to replace the shoddy black plastic thing that came with them.
Kept looking at Gilles rearsets but couldn't really justify spending ?300 on rearsets at the time!

I have Valtermotos... I'm a bit unimpressed with them, I've had 2 crashes with them- a 30mph lowside and another one where the peg didn't touch down til after the bike had stopped. In the first, the peg snapped clean off on contact with the ground- the scrape it left was about 4cm long, and the peg was barely scratched. But fair enough, parts can fail like that.

But the other was bad, the bike stopped (nudged lovingly into the side of a van) then fell over, but that was enough to slightly bend the peg and break the bushing, which completely jammed the lever. So instead of protecting the bike, it completely disabled it in a crash where usually all would be fine. Not impressed.

I also have a second set, which I think are GBMoto- still not fitted but they seem very good, bearings in the levers, no slop or play, nice build quality all round. Adjustable, too.

valtermoto rear sets seem very week if you push your foot hard down on them you can see them move/flex etc...

They aren't that good, best stick to Rosmoto or GB Moto rearsets.

I think I'll steer clear of the cheapo ebay ones, they sound a bit poo!

The GB Moto ones look good, but only fit the pointy as far as I can tell

Does anyone know a UK supplier for the Rosmoto ones? or recommend some other decent, but reasonably priced, rearsets for the curvy?

Thanks all
