you have to be careful heating up aluminum especially cast because it weakens the metal so much. I straighten out my front brake lever with heat just so I could get by for a couple days but it snapped in half after about a day. Did the same thing with my sub frame because it was had a slight bend in it and it broke to.

already have the sick inno cage. Never really broke a rearset on my f4i, just bent one. Really all I needed was the brake lever, but cant find just the lever for any cheaper than $50...figured I'd go ahead and get a rearset..

if you buy rearsets get the woodcraft cause you can use factory pegs, break lever and shifter if need be

Short version: F4i stock rearsets, or aftermarket?

put a bolt in it

How does that work, are they the same bolt pattern, pretty easy to mount up?

F3 uses the same bolt pattern but the foot pegs will be about two inches higher.

Definitely heat that bitch up and trying bending it back before you spend any money!

IMO, Vortex is **** quality. Their tolerances/quality control blows.
