    Looking for some views on rear sets.

    I'm off to the NEC this Sunday & plan on getting a set there if I can find a set and would appreciate any input on which 1's to go for. I like the Gillles and also SES but I'm open to suggestion.

    I was there today.
    The TRW and R&G also look nice.

    I think R&G are asking too much for them. Considering that it's they're first attempt yet asking the same sort of money as Gilles. I'll take a look at the TRW just now.

    Thanks Steve

    True Col, but the R&G do look very good.

    How was the show? Hope it is better than the joke of a show we get up here.

    Arrow are nice, I think Gilles are a bit weak n flimsy.

    For that money I'd take Rizoma all day long obviously as I did.

    Valter Moto are also very nice, Colin I think you'd really appreciate the craftsmanship of the Rizoma one's!!!

    It was much improved the addition of free entry to the freestyle motox show. It was fantastic!
    The show itself was"OK", no more no less.
    No real bargains.
    The Mrs bought me a GIPro and abba front lift for xmas.
    Im sure the 2012 blade will grow on me, but after seeing it in the flesh, im glad i went for the 2011.

    Rizoma 1's look the mutts nuts. I'd end up buying the whole catalogue if I started on they're stuff. I'm liking they're grips and fluid reservoirs :)

    Yup too true mate.

    They look really well made now I've seen the better pics. I'll go to the show on Sunday and if I don't see anything that tickles my fancy I may well buy these.

    I have both on my GSXR, I love how the pegs are still ally as the black ones on the Gilles etc wear and looks pants.

    I have been 21 1/2 ston eim down to 18 now but im always a bit heavier than usual the gilles felt weak and not confidence inspiring however the Rizoma are quality!!!

    Have had a few sets go through the doors at work, and they are made to a very good standard in germany. The pegs and individual parts can be supplied seperately where some makers won't do anything other than pegs. A couple of local racers have been using them and found they hold up to crashing really well on track too. The only complaint i have seen is that they take some assembly.

    GB moto do the cheapest on the market . Nothing special but do the job ... Its all down to budget mate . Gilles , Arrow . PP tuning and Rizoma are all stunning .

    TRW , SES etc are Cheaper , good quality but just not as fancy ( although i love my silver S.E.S and couldn't find many silver options )

    The only ones to stay away from are the knock of jobbys from china on Ebay
