Forget 929, Gsxr 600 and 1000 rearsets fit RVF?! 70mm C/C.

Ok forget the 929, check this out, with some small mods these should fit no problem. 70mm center to center bolt holes. GSXR 600 and 1000's up to 05' i think, but safe to say 04 should fit with some slight grinding. For the price, bargain. You'll have to work out how your attaching your rear brake but how hard can that be? I also don't use "linked" gear shifters I ALWAYS use dirtbike style (Direct bolt on to clutch spline) unless I ever want to change to GP style, and even on the racetrack I don't. Both have like the RVF 70mm center to center bolt distances.

Wow I would have thought someone might have found that at least somewhat interesting considering the over inflated prices you pay for this shit... hmm.

That's good info. I always liked the Gilles rearsets maybe I can try and adapt a second hand set.

Well done

Sumomoto make a similiar product and I'm waiting on a price back from them. Might be an equally good deal. Hard to parts for a "Reasonable" price these days for the old stuff.

Dan-Moto :o

Same Chinese company that sell those shitty stainless end cans on eBay that rust within a week and look like they were assembled by less than intelligent amoeba.

Nothing wrong with those exhausts bro, I know lots of people with them and bang for buck they can't be beat. I also know lots of people with the rearsets and they have absolutely no problems with them.

Also paying 600 dollars for a can that has a "Spiral wound power core" just makes you a chump. Its a tube with fucking holes in it, no more no less.

I'm going to email them and check the center/center holes today first.

Let me know how you get on. I've a spare set of Gilles left over from my 1000RR and if the ones above fit, then I'll buy me some plates to fit the bike.
