    Morning folks.

    I've read some reasonable reviews on the Gilles FXR - but does anyone have first hand experience of them on their 08+ Blades and would they recommend them?

    Thanks!

    Did you get these in the end? Any opinions. I'm contemplating these vs a set of pedals. I want to keep a silver/alloy look and only sets I can find are the Gilles

    They look very basic?? How much adjustment is there compare to standard? Do they go lower / further back than standard?

    They are basic but offer a small amount of adjustment.I think there are three settings plus options of rolling toe piece, short or long race pegs and carbon heel protectors. Their simplicity make them look like they should have been fitted from the factory.

    I've got em on my ZX10R and yes the adjustment is limited but they are well designed in the first place so masses of adjustment is not needed anyway.

    You'll struggle to find any rearsets that offer a lower position than the standard pegs.

    Tbh I think for me the standard pegs are just too far forward ... Going back would make a big difference IMHO
