Mark at holbeach tyres always did us good deals on bulk tyres. Only problem could be postage/collection. We just got them posted to someone's house and sorted them out ourselves but we all live in he same town. If a group buy for wheels goes ahead I will be very interested. A pair of BST are £2500 with disks though.
Depends what people want If people state what they want others may want he same items soncould club together and get a discount maybe My next mod is suspension if anyone else is thinking the same.
We have some interest in rearsets still, just need 4 more to get a decent discount. I suppose I can try another ebay/shop see if I can get a better deal anyway. I would like suspension too but spent over 2K on both my bikes over the last 2 months and the bosswoman ain't too pleased.So I was looking at cheaper mods for me atm.
I will go for the rearsets too, but want carbon heel guards if they can do it?? Black with gold insert for me!
They look pretty good! Don't the come with a mounting plate with a few sets of holes for even more adjustment? Did you take a before and after measurement to test their adjustability?
You can have either type, solid-fit like the one above [they are called Factory], or jack-up type plates with holes, [called racing rearsets]
Not keen on them... sorry to sound fussy! They look a little bit like one of them plug in timers! Dont want to upset the apple cart on the rearsets thing... but lets face it... Gilles are the creme-de-la-creme (or maybe the new R&G ones?). Can we see what price break we can get on them so we can compare. I know they will be more expensive. Giles example: £354.13 inc VAT & del (not sure if these are the vcr38???) Gilles Adjustable Rearsets - Honda CBR 1000 RR Fireblade 08-09 - Motorcycle Accessories - Free UK Delivery R&G: £291 exc VAT http://www.rg-racing.com/browseBike/Honda/CBR1000RR_Fireblade/2008/RSET02BK.aspx
Gilles are not creme de la creme..i had a set on my previous bike, although very good, are waaay overpriced, and the heel plates are crap quality.Theres loads more out the which are just as good, and cheaper.
I just assumed that they were the best TBH based on price and the the number of bikes that have them fitted. But as I have never owned any then maybe I should base my findings a little more on facts! LOL Which brands are the better ones based on quality and price? R&G stuff is normally good quality but I think the heel plates are extra?
The best rearsets = promach. But they're bloody expensive. Have a look at pp tuning, SES, TRW, sato etc
I wouldnt put Gillies on my bike, as mentioned way overpriced and the bolts are made of cheese, I had PP tuning on my last Blade, and they were excellent. Mine didnt "mark" at all from my boots, a mate who had Gillies on his marked quite badly
I have PP tuning one's on my trackbike and I think they are a decent bit of kit. Paid £175 from a racer on flea bay for them. Dunno if they look bling enough to go on the road bike though!!
I have to agree .... so I changed mine to titanium .... as for the kit in general I love em I managed to score a good discount on mine as a loyal customer over many years :yes4:
