Look like plenty of adjustment?

They look quality mate. I'll bet they're cheaper than the Gilles too!!

I have them on my bike, and can tell you that they crash well 
everything folds up as it should wthout damage.
super easy to set up, stiff positive shifting (noticeable cf OE units)
I would recommend without hesitation. If you can get them for less than the £500+ they cost as new I'd go for it.
one downside, and chances are you'd not even come across it, the rear edges of the heal plates are machined to a fine edge; I nearly sliced my finger tip off on their razor sharp sides

BTW, I discovered (after buying) that you can buy all the folding parts to add to their standard rearsets if you like the function without the price tag of the ltd edition
I've just bought a set of these Lightech rear sets - exactly the same. I'm having problems fitting the break side - where do you fit the return spring to to stop the break lever hanging down under its own weight? On the actual break lever that is. The original break lever has a post to hook the spring onto - these don't have anything (well - mine doesn't!)

in my limited experience, many aftermarket rearsets (for many bikes) do not utilise return springs. Possibly due to the lighter weight of the aftermarket lever.
On the inside of the rearset is a disc that is drilled off centre. When the unit is fitted you can set this to prevent the brake lever moving when not in use.
The master cylinder itself is enough to return the lever to neutral position.
i rarely, if ever, use the rearbrake lever; but haven't had any issues whatsoever hope that helps

You're right, but some racers add their own springs (as the G forces are much higher on the bike on track) I remember for years, HRC Repsol used a section of old inner tube as a return spring - even with their immaculately machined jewels of MotoGP bikes.
Would be surprised if it would be required for road or even trackday pace though.

I bought a set of rearsets of eBay from a seller called unmoto £99 no slop every thing uses proper besrings made my own heel plates out of carbon . They look like sato loads of adjustment really cant fault them.
