The best rearsets I have used on my Grom Racebike
About quality and texture These parts are constructed from both steel and solid aluminum pieces. I've crashed this bike multiple times now with these rear sets. The durability is outstanding. I've never been to any of the brackets, do I have damage foot pegs which is to be expected. Fit and finish is excellent. About the feeling of use I've used many different solutions for foot position on my gram. I am 6 feet tall. The original foot positions on a stock Honda Grom or too far forward. In fact they are several inches ahead of the swingarm pivot. These move the standard foot position back by almost 6 inches to behind the swingarm pivot. This leaves enough room for my knees at the tank position on the bike. On a stock Honda Grom, my knees often hit the handlebars. This was unacceptable. The low stock position of the foot pegs also caused significant ground clearance problems. This impeded the bike from being able to finish a corner because it could not lean over far enough. On a stock Gromit is very easy to run off track because the bike cannot complete a turn. This set up allows the foot peg position to be at the same level as the swingarm pivot. This is more than enough ground clearance. I actually lowered the foot pegs to get the position that was most comfortable. This has been an excellent set, so much so that I purchased a second set from my other Grom. Products to buy together You can use these rare sets with many different styles of foot pegs. This allows easy replacement should you damage the foot pegs. You can also modify this set to use folding foot pegs to help minimize crash damage. The foot pegs here or solidly mounted. You can use whichever style you prefer. This allows a lot of flexibility of customization. Difficulty of installation It took me several hours to install these rear sets. The time required is pretty significant to remove the originals and attach these to the bike. There are several spacers that must be used. The most complex portion is removing the swingarm pivot shaft which holds the stock rear sets in place. It is best to use a second shaft to accomplish this. Otherwise the rear suspension will fall apart when you remove the pivot shaft. Check this out on YouTube to better explain. It is worth the money to purchase a second shaft. Keep this in your toolbox because you will need it if you ever need to remove the rear sets. The last task is reattaching the rear brake master cylinder and getting the linkage adjusted correctly. I also set this up to use GP shift. That required adjusting the linkage on these. The work was not difficult but it was not quick. Cost performance and comparison with other products These parts are stout and durable. This is the best quality. Well I have had damage from multiple crashes, I've always been able to finish the day with some modification. Extra toe petals as spares can easily be reattached. In many cases I have been able to bend the levers back in shape. The swingarm pivot mounts are solid steel and are extremely durable. The way this is designed, the most vulnerable aluminum pieces are readily replaceable. You can often find these parts purchased separately for minimal cost. About shipping and packaging Shipping is very quick and cost as reasonable given that these are purchased from overseas to the United States. Any concerns, cautions, or advice when purchasing You have several other choices for these parts. Many are lower cost and can save some money. It is my opinion that the additional cost of this set, is well spent due to the quality and durability of the parts. This is especially important for racing as damage is a part of the activity. Overall the initial cost is higher, but as you use the parts your overall cost overtime is actually less. Driven racing has a very good set up for less money. While the cost is somewhat less, the parts are all aluminum and are somewhat more susceptible to damage. The parts included in those kits are also more proprietary and do not allow for more generic replacement pegs or shifter tips or brake pedal tips. This raises the cost of ownership overtime should you damage the parts by crashing View detail
