How do you like them?

I just picked up a set off eBay last night for $20 shipped, figured at that price if I don't like them, I could probably get my money back.

They're good. Like I said watch for the rearset contacting the swingarm and leaving a scratch mark if your worry about that kind of stuff.

Yes and you'll smash them at the track in the stock position.

I broke both the feeler tips off my rearsets in the stock position on the street. I couldn't imagine trying to ride at the track like that. If you scrape on the street your not going to touch the pegs lightly when cornering at the track.

@ my level I don't think they are really an issue yet but pretty sure down the line they will be. I did touch my toe here and there (and trust me I ride on my toes/ball on the pegs) and found myself REALLY having to get off the seat to prevent it. I figure for $50 why not? Plus you can flip them the other way and bring them down and forward for long trips which sounds just about perfect to me.

I understand not spending $200 when it's probably ****ty body positioning at fault, but at this price?

Side note how bad are these rubbing? Is it worth bending them out a tiny bit or maybe epoxying a piece of plastic/hard rubber to the backside?

Thats exactly what I did. Put a pry bar between the rearset and the frame and bent them out slightly until they didn't rub. Its not that bad, just leaves a scratch mark if you don't move them. Your foot position might try and push them back as you ride, I haven't really had any problems yet and I've had them about a year/ 14,000 miles.
