Vortex rearsets
Amyone had experience with this brand?
Vortex Rearsets
These seem the most reasonable priced of the non-chinese knock off's. The cheap arsed ones on mine are corroded and all but one position have the mounting holes stripped, plus I noticed at the trackday that the left hand side is actually bent. So time for some more but I don't want to shell out $700-800 for Valmoto or Gilles.

Re: Vortex rearsets
I don't rate Gilles to be honest. The build isn't that great on them.
Vortex get good reviews.
SES are cheap but well worth the money

Re: Vortex rearsets
I've got Gilles on the Daytona, picked them up secondhand off Pete ?? the guy that raced a D600 in the states. They were an improvement on the standard but yeah definitely not worth the brand new price.Kwacky wrote:I don't rate Gilles to be honest. The build isn't that great on them.

I'll have a look at SES, forgot about them.

Re: Vortex rearsets
SES are very good with good service. I had them on the Blade and would happily recommend. Easy to get spares for too as I found out after a little off

Re: Vortex rearsets
I've had a look at Accossato and SES now. They both look good and I'm sure there quality is as good as you all attest too, but they both will cost me at least 50% more (or a trackday worth) than the Vortex and from all accounts the Vortex aren't crap so I don't think I'll get 50% more benefit from them. The Vortex are in Aussie too, where the others are going to cost international shipping and take longer. SO I think I'll get the Vortex and leave enough to get my suspension tuned at the next trackday.
Cheers for the input.

Re: Vortex rearsets
First ones I chased up Cookie, but nearly twice the price delivered. They are the ones the chinese copies are all taken off. I was almost tempted to buy some knock offs, a few at the track had them and had no issues with them, but they are too important to my survival on the bike so I'm not going to be a complete tight arse in this regard.C00kiemonster wrote:What about Sato?
