    We fitted some rearsets from that guy to Danny's ZX10R and they all but
    fell apart. When fitted up the clearances were so bad the rear brake
    would stick on and the gearchange was too sloppy. It took me an evening
    of careful fettling to make everything function as it should, the night
    before we raced at the big Bemsee Brands GP meeting. In use the screws
    holding the footrests on would shake themselves out and I'd have to
    retighten everything on them after every single race. I tried Loctite
    but it jut wouldn't hold the poorly fitting screws in loose threads.
    They looked functional, shame they weren't even that.

    I measured them up against the standard fotrest hangers, there was no
    difference in foot position, so it was a complete waste of time buying
    them.

    Danny threw them out after 2 meetings and bought a set of ValterMotos
    that moved his feet back and up a reasonable amount. They were on for
    over a year and were pretty much fit and forget. He wouldn't even take
    the cheapies to a meeting as spares, we used to take the standard
    footersts.

    Avoid.

    On a plus point, I bought some CBR600 crash bungs off that geezer and
    they are fine.
