next question? what are the best rear set for me!!

in that case i will be keeping my eyes open for some new rearsets.
elbow grease huh, you guy crack me up
do enough of that at work.
so any ideas on rearsets which will require little or no upkeep

Giles are really good come in black gold or titianium

P+P tuning make some nice adjustable ones. I was going to buy them but money is tighter than ever.

Gilles are crappy and have a lot of bend and play in them due to the way they are made

check out Robby rear sets - can't remember who sells them I'm sure you can find them, they offer much better crash protection My bike went **** end up and landed on its side from a great height and the only thing that bent was the bolt into the frame

Hello Pete.

Ahh , so that was what caused the mark on the peg. They do crash well then. Handy to know as it's now a 'working' bike .

I doubt autosol will do much good without taking the rest of the paint off, though.

Agreed- The way I ride, I hardly touch them, yet the paint is already coming off. Wondering if anyone has coated the stock ones in something a bit more durable, like hammerite?

ben, how is it going?? any pics of it finished
