Which rear sets?

[The Snowman]

come to bike night tonight and you can sit on my bike since we got the same thing and see how the woodcraft ones feel!

Going to be tough to get there from Bentonville, Arkansas.

I am a bit surprised not more people like adjustability - to the woodcraft advocates, have you switched from an adjustable and not missed anything? for me, it made it hard to hang off the bike, I set my vortex higher than the woodcraft, the length from the bottom of my boot to the back of my knee was too short to clear the seat with the woodcraft..

I had gilles on my RC51. Tons of adjustability and a good product. Went to woodcraft on my R6. Took about the length of pit road to get used to the position and then I never looked back. It is nice to be able to adjust the rearsets but its just one more thing to fuck with and I was never happy where I had them. I think I tried every spot and was just never satisfied only because there was another spot.

I'm used to this, since the aftermarket pegs that I put on the 900 were the same thing.

Still deciding. Thanks for all of the input. I also posed the question to the 1000rr.net group and only have votes for Vortex so far. Not sure what kind of people post there, since I'm a newbie. My gut feeling says their more of a bling crowd.

I have Woodcraft on the SV and I know how they handle a crash, since I had to replace some parts on them and was able to salvage the bracket (thanks to PK and a big hammer).

Just so confused. I think I just may do an eeny-meeny-miney-moe to choose.

I think they are both Shaaweeet If you already have the Woodcrafts then go with the Vortex and let us know which ones you like better?

The 1000rr.net guys used to be mostly track guys, a lot has changed over there in the past few months. Search for the thread, "rearsets picture database" and you will see all the various options for the 1000rr, how they look, rider reviews, etc. A lot of guys on 1000rr.net suggest the vortex because they are not from New England, and Vortex has huge race support all over the rest of the country. And like Kitt said, individual replacement parts are cheap.

Sato, Arata, Arrow rearsets, while nice, are really pretty expensive, and dont crash as well. I think the vortex vs. woodcraft is a good debate, just comes down to whether or not you want to compromise adjustability. IMO, go with the Vortex pieces.

Brad @ SBS is the man. And will get you incredible pricing on almost anything you want.

All good info. I actually PMed Brad for his pricing on the Vortex, which I will also ask of Ted at Duncanmoto to see if he'll match, as I want to support the local shops and Ted also sells Vortex.

I would just like to know the reasoning why all of the die-hard Woodcraft people call Vortex blingy and cheap, when I also see quite a few here and elsewhere that say Vortex are decent.

Go with the Woodcraft, I have a set work great.

[Mondo]

[Crash Dummy Denno]

I think I tried every GIRL and was just never satisfied only because there was always another GIRL.

Agreed but at some point dont you think you would find one you liked better then the rest?

Visiting? Where have you been? I think I'm a semi-permanent fixture here. I've been coming down here off and on (Mon-Thu every week now since May) for 17 months.

Oh.

I was being snarky...



As you were.

I still say just get a few guys and lift it. Should solve your rearset problem.

Yes. Going to place the order w/ Ted tomorrow when I get home. (Don't have the CC with me.) In case you're wondering, or if you could give a shit less, I'm going with Woodcraft.

damn, i need to reset my post count again

w00! Another 1000 posts and my penis will be bigger than Vs!

And see, if I was going for a higher post count, I would have done this in 3 posts.

And Richie, your penis will NEVER be as big as V's. That chick's got balls.

Believe me, I'd love to spend the money on them, but I'm also looking to get a set of Pazzo shorties and replacing the seats with Sargent seats.

[Mondo]

+1 on the pazzos

got them on my RR and I love them. The stock seat isnt to bad...I did a 450 mile ride in one day on it before and it was my legs more than anything that hurt

F that seat. I've been riding on a Corbin on the 900 for 3 years and miss the padding already. For a heavy guy, I have a boney backside.

Is there anything to Pazzos ( or the equivalent ) except look?

fully adjustable & some want a shorter lever (like me).
less likely to break a short lever in a lowside. plus some use 1-3 fingers for clutch and brake.

if only Pazzo made a chrome lever
