Default Aftermarket Rearsets

Hey Guys, I did a search for "Rearsets", and was not able to find the info I was looking for. I was wondering what kind of aftermarket rearsets you guys might be using on your F4i? Previous Owner laid the bike down on both sides, and managed to bend both the Shift lever, as well as the brake, so I'd like to just replace the whole works in one fell swoop. From what I've found online after looking at several different company's It's looking like $350 before shipping to get the job done. My question then is: Who does it better? I looked at Woodcraft, Protek, and some company called Sato I found in Superstreet bike magazine, and they all run around the same price. I really like the look of the Aircraft grade aluminum, and think that nearly any of them would be a vast improvement visually, but I guess I'm wondering if there is one that would perform better? I am too squidish to be racing, or leaning too far to worry about clearence for the time being. Any help, or opinions are welcome and appreciated guys and gals Thanks!

I have and like Woodcraft. Parts availability is great. Some of the cheaper sets don't sell separate parts in the event of a crash, so find that out if you go with the bargain brand.

Yeah, I agree. They are expensive, but over the OEM, they look So much better! Plus, at this point the rubber coating on my rider peg is starting to peel and catch on my boot, and it's messing with my shifting, so those aluminum pegs are looking better and better! I like the look of the Ebay's, but the fact that I can replace any part of that Woodcraft set is sounding better and better, plus you've got the name, you know they're putting out quality.

I've been reading about your build, do you have those on the bike now? How are they?

FWIW those knock off rearsets dont crash well, i tried a set out(i mean crash tested them) and there garbage spend the extra dough and go with woodcraft, sato, vortex, or gilles if your looking for top of the line.
