Are these rearsets ok?
Discussion
Chilli found this on their website:
BEWARE OUR REAR SET KITS AND OTHERS ARE BEING ILLEGALLY COPIED AND SHIPPED TO THE UK FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD. THE SPECIFICATION OF THE MATERIAL USED IN THESE CHEAP COPIES IS NOWHERE NEAR AEROSPACE QUALITY, THESE UNSCRUPULOUS PEOPLE DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT THE CATASTROPHIC CONSEQUENCES THAT COULD RESULT FROM SUCH A VITAL COMPONENT FAILING. THEY WILL SELL ANYTHING TO MAKE A FAST BUCK. THEY ALSO OMIT TO TELL YOU THAT BY BUYING FROM THEM YOU WILL BE CHARGED BY H.M. CUSTOMS & EXCISE 17.5% VAT PLUS THE IMPORT DUTY, ON TOP OF YOUR PURCHASE PRICE.

Have you thought about getting your standard ones powdercoated black? Would be much cheaper.
but would still not be adjustable. I know plenty of people using the cheap taiwan rearsets and have had no bother.
I've heard good things about the diamond ones too though I forget who from, could well be biker's nemesis.

Sorry I just realised how poorly that read.
I avoided gilles at first because of the cost, by chance I found some for 100 quid less than I'd seen them elsewhere which is why I got them. But now I've got them I'd say they're worth every penny of the RRP imo
and yes, go for Gilles.
