    Apparently the TWR are very good quality, have not had them myself but not heard anything bad about them :)

    R and G are good as well so its a good problem to have ;)

    I was speaking to the parts guy at Rochdale Honda and the R&G rearsets apparently chafe on the brake reservoir on the 2012/13 models. They have spoken to R&G and they are in the process of rectifying the problem. That was as of 1600 hours yesterday. Just thought I'd share the info.

    I asked about the TWR's from Calsport by no one can say if they are any good. Unlike Gilles who everyone can vouch for. Also same with the Racefits, look amazing but no reviews of what they are like....

    A lot of money to take a gamble on so I will probably go for the Gilles VCR :)

    These Race Fit Rear-sets are the most stunning I've seen yet but also the most expensive. They have a built in brake reservoir and are just stunning. Theres also a brake peddle pressure switch for the rear brake light. I'm pretty sure Mark from RCD Designed these but as yet the guys at RaceFit have not responded to my enquiry.

    Sorry Jap, I'm just not feeling the vibe with the Race Fit units?

    They look crap and chunky IMHO! [​IMG]

    Gillies yes, I can see that.

    TWR's look good as well

    I had a set built for my son's bike and the quality is outstanding.

    Mark built these as a one off hence recognising them on the RaceFit site straight away.

    The rear brake took hours to bleed as theres so little brake fluid in there but IMO they look the dogs on our Trinity

    Thats a better shot from the right...

    Does anyone Know why the TRW one's say U need a replacement rear brake hose for the ABS Blade?

    That would put me straight off as I aint going down a full Bleed just for some rear sets?

    Can't see why unless the existing lines just don't reach to the new position?
    Why don't they just explain why, tis a simple one line sentence I'd have thought?

    yeah sine you do need a new hose, It's a longer hose. I have a standard length braided line on mine and changed to gilles VRC rearsets and when adjusting them came to the conclusion that I can't adjust them fully. Thankfully mine a made by a local company here in belgium and I know the guys, so explained it to them and there going to exchange it for me... a right pain in the a*se as I couldn't get the line bleeded the first time around properly, took me half the bloody night

    Well that's the end of that then!

    Not going through another World of Pain getting the system bled just for some Blingy rear sets.

    It'll only get put back to standard when I flog it so might as well leave it be.
