Which rearsets hold up best under hard bashes

I am going to buy new rearsets for my 03 rr and need to know which rearsets are the most forgiving. Under a hard dump which brand bends? Which brand breaks and which brand breaks the tabs of your frame?

Im Tired of welding the stock ones back together!!!

Hohey doesnt make rear sets for my bike.

Woodcrafts are the best. They bend and don't break, throw them in a vice and they are instantly straight! Best Bang for the buck!

they dont do anything, they just dont break! lol ive been told that they would bend under the right impact, and can be bent back where they need to be.

Re: Which rearsets hold up best under hard bashes

Woodcraft and Vortex are simply the best.

Replaceable parts, billet construction, and Vortex offers anodized colors.

If you're a super Baller, go Gilles... but that's more for flash than anything.

The grip on new style Vortex pegs are way too sharp, my buddy slipped off the peg and put a nasty gouge in his leg....**** took forever to heal it was so deep...

What's everyone's thought on Attack rearsets? That's what I've got on my bike (came with em) and, for the most part, I like em. I need to cut the footpegs though, just in case.

Re: Which rearsets hold up best under hard bashes

For Stunting HoHey or Woodcraft just because of ther beefy design. Vortex & Gilles are the best rearsets out there for Street and Track but not for stunting.

Go with HoHey or Woodcraft for stunting and you won't be disappointed. Plus with the Woodcraft, you can buy the replacement parts easily if needed.

Shoot me a PM or meail me at sales@moto-madness.com if you are interested in the Woodcrafts.
