Default Rear sets

>who has these and are they worth buying for street riding ?
I am 5'6" about 175lbs and have a 30" in seem of course the seat height is 32" but with the rearsets that will bring both feet higher like the racers ?

also is Vortex a reliable company with good quality products ?

again thanks

Vortex stuff is decent, but I think SATO rearsets are better and you can get individual parts if needed..the cost a bit more but are far better quality

Rearsets serve 2 purposes:
1) to give extra clearance at extreme lean angles
2) to make the bike fit you better instead of vice versa

The first one isn't necessary for street. But the second may apply depending on how the bike fits you.

I have Moriwaki rearsets on my bike. They're a godsend for me and my short inseam.

I have the Vortex on my bike and love them they feel sooo much better than stock and adjustable. Not too sure on how good the company is though. I havent had any problems. My bro has the Gilles sets and they are pretty sweet too. It all depends on which one turns your head. I recommend them. Completley adjustable and reverseable (race shifting).
