I think I will have a set of them but does anyone know if they are road or race pattern shift or both, it doesn't say on the site
This line would make me think road and race possible for all but the RSV4. "(Aprilia RSV4 fits APRC but only road shift is possible, to acheive
race shift, an aftermarket quickshift such as HM Racing must be used)"
Give them a call/ email to be sure:

Anyway, this hint of sunshine is proving expensive already. These are on their way for £170 delivered!

Please do ...
Spot the difference;

Tbh as long as they are solid I'm sure they will be fine. They don't need to be built to the precision required of levers.
Damn I missed out on genuine "meetallgood" rearsets?!Spot the difference;

I have just ordered direct from Diamond so don't see how they can be Chinese copies based on this on there site when they are warning not to buy the copies?
Diamond racing rearsets

We carry a full compliment of spares, i.e. footpegs, toepegs, rose joints, shift rods, pivot bearings etc.
These kits are beautifully finished in anodized black and perform as well as they look.

race shift, an aftermarket quickshift such as HM Racing must be used)
We beleive our rearsets are absolutely top of the range.

At least I won't be the only one falling off
Ha, yeah, ill just get some SES ones. I do love the idea of the spare kit they do though.
The price of them makes me think they are Chinese though, but it could just be a guy ordering them to spain then punting them on elsewhere with a tidy profit.

The thing is compare the design ... Now consider that Diamond have only been selling this design (changed from old design) recently ... Yet the Chinese have been selling them longer ... Diamond racing rearsets

Who is copying who...
Either way for £150 you can't really complain I guess given Gilles, etc are are three times the price.
I've been after rearsets since Nov for the blade and one of the things I did was study the design of those Chinese rear sets against the new Diamonds ... I can't see any real difference at all.
It does seem a bit of a coincidence ... Not to mention quality control and customer service of Diamond is diabolical.

yes, this is the case, these are identical to the ones I bought, they clearly just print the name on the side.

I use Diamond tyre warmers and reckon their stuff is pretty good. I'd use their rearsets. I wouldn't buy the Chinese ones. Who is copying who...

No sorry, it was badly quoted. I meant the guy who wrote that scary text. I just thought that his point was already made with the facts and his embellishment added nothing to it. Anyway this has all got too complicated for me, BN says he has used them before so that's good enough for me

You wouldn't know any different though if you took the brand label off and put them side by side ... That is my point. 
king phone, I bought tech spec grips on your endless recommendations, these were fking garbage. woeful, hopeless, couldn't hit home on a wet night bad.I got pilot power 3's these were also f

But anytime I see a recommendation from you I treat your opinion like the o/h does mine when asking advice on a dress or shoes.
A) I agree with her choice and we are both happy

B) I say it looks hoaching or I like the other one, she then falls out with me saying "wtf do you know you wear your wee brothers hand me ups" and I'm left going well why the f

If I delete my photo of my st Chinese rearsets will it make all of this go away?
I think that horse has long since bolted t Chinese rearsets will it make all of this go away?
but I have ordered from a reputable UK site not from eBay so I am happy they are not Chinese or Chinese copies, if they do not look as they are advertised when they arrive they will go back and any dispute will be referred to my CC company, but my expectation is they will be fine. Its been a while since I have been involved in a thread like this so all in all quite enjoyable
even if no-one commented on my new exhaust pics
