What do you think of this rear set?

Rear Sets Honda VTR1000F Superhawk Firestorm VTR1000 | eBay

I like the design. It seems a little pricey for not being adjustable. Do you agree or disagree?

Very pricey, I believe my Harris rearsets were around the same price new. Problem is what else is out there, not sure if anyone makes them for our bike anymore.

Gillies still makes them. I believe those are coerse. But gillies are about 550 a set.

With the Gillies they are fully adjustable though. I don't mind paying that if it isn't just basic.

If thats your price range Moriwaki is also an option.

Make an adapter plate with the hole for the pivot axle, and the small bolt, add two holes for the same boltpattern as a CBR... That's something any machine shop can knock out for pocket change... Then go buy a CBR rearset, at half the price as the VTR parts... That's what i did, it hurts less to buy once, and it hurts less to replace parts when you need too..
