Which rear sets?

[The Snowman]

First time I have ever shopped for a pair of rear sets. I'd like honest opinions without mentioning brands I am not considering.

Looking at:

Woodcraft:


Vortex Adjustable:


Also, was going to try and stay local and buy them from Ted. So, does Duncanmoto sell Vortex or exclusively Woodcraft?

[burnham]

I like my Woodcraft. Those Vortex look pretty fucking sharp, and they're adjustable.

I have to admit I like that idea a lot.

Holy shit you're done with the stock pegs already?

I liked my Woodcrafts...hated to part with them.

yeah, wasn't completely wild about the position.

[Wishbone]

Shouldn't you just be polishing it?





I would go with the woodcraft and make it an even more local purchase.

[Degsy]

No question in my book. Woodcraft.

Get 'em from Ted.

I like adjustability in my vortex rearsets... the knurl is MEAN for a streetbike though

Id go with woodcrafts. They are almost indestructable.

SATO....

Best out there, IMHO.

Hello McFly? Is Sato in the list above? Can't afford the $500+ price tag.

Woodcraft...

The ones on the r6 have been crashed a bunch of times and look more like sliders.

I have to agree with the "practically indestructible" statement.

My 1000 has a set of $600 Ti-Force rear sets on it. I am very disappointed with them. The knurling on the pegs sucks. The top side knurling is almost smooth and all of the anodizing is worn off. They have about 1500 miles on them.



I have the Woodcraft on the SV. They are fantastic... for the race bike. I would want the adjustability and the nice fit and finish of the Vortex ones for the street bike. If I had it to do over again, I would put the Vortex rear sets on the street bike.

So disreguard my post then. Im gonna make like a tree...and get outta here.

I have SATO's on my street bike and love them. They have tons of adjustable spots to make them fit your needs. Since they're not on your list, I'd vote Woodcraft. Vortex anything sucks balls.

Woodcraft. Its a race bike
Replacement parts are a cinch to get.

Bingo. Damn DB, you should know what Dan had on the SV.

And why do you say that? I have one of their rear stands and I really like it.

[Pittenger5]

Ahh yes. Being that I rode it once.
I know the Squirrel had Vortex at one point and the knurls were so bad he had to file them down.

Vortex really seems to be cheap for a reason. i hear the grip on the pegs wears out faster than any other rearset.

He says that because he wants to participate in this thread, but really has no idea what he's talking about...

Are you serious?? Look at the pic above, it's not even a knurl anymore, it's like 1/4" spikes! haha - those things do NOT wear out. I have used OSF and Vortex, I prefer vortex because they sell all replacement parts individually, and are easy to deal with. If you don't want to keep spare stuff on you, go with woodcraft, they will be your best bet for track-side support... OSF - didn't like the (lack of) customer support

Well, so far, the votes are more for Woodcraft, but the lack of adjustability makes me hesitant.

ur a big dude, where do you need to adjust them to? woodcrafts weren't high enough for my liking, but im shorter than you...
