Here we go chaps.. so this 10 day thing AE has works, these arrived in 8 days including clearing customs, VAT etc which is added at source, so no fannying about as I had when purchasing from Italy a few months ago.
The Axle protectors look and feel very good, their a non critical component for me and hopefully I'll never use them.
The pegs look and feel excellent quality, I can't do a side by side comparison as I don't have an "original" set but I think anyone on here would be hard pressed to tell the difference.. the CNC machining looks very accurate and everything looks to be where it should go, came in a nice presentation box all items individually wrapped, the fasteners do not have any s/s markings but that's no biggie as I'll nip down to my local place and buy like for like or order directly from Westfield Fasteners (Thanks Alex). At worst I'll be circa a ten spot to replace the fasteners..however I'm being picky..
Yea looks good, be interesting to see how it fits, as I previously said, the tail tidy looked good until I went to fit it and realised everything was a little askew, if the rearset fit well I'll be ordering a set
Here's the screen protector that arrived today..I'm partially impressed with it's "explosion proof" qualities ! Oh and it's protection of god (back sleeve pic) seems like a great deal..
Stuck these on tonight, hit a small snag with the detachable exhaust hanger connection, but have a solution with a small rubber mount I came across which I'll sort in the morning.
Measured up the centres of pegs to gear/foot brake which were 6" and 5" respectively and checked the angles on my phone, so pretty much bang on with my HP4.. dropped bike down hopped on and both sides feel really good.. always the problem when you have almost infinite adjustment possibilities. I'll run it up and down my street a few times before nipping up the gear toe peg and fitting the end caps in the pegs and rhs heel guard, but seems totally fine stationary..
Marked up in Blue where I threadlocked with Medium compound, crosschecked some fasteners, the fasteners direct to the frame I left dry as per factory..
Good idea to check rear caliper/pads don't bind..I'll knock in a few miles and give it a once.. switching over to race shift is a breeze over..
Bang on Moran... just bolted the can straight to it.. definite buy from me, you'll not be disappointed. Its 400 quid toward a new system, that's the way I see it.
Glad I measured up my old set up... got them spot on..
Up at the Green Welly heading to Oban...got to say I've made a great choice, this Gen 4s Motor is absolutely fantastic !... seat gets 2/10 I'm going to get mine reupholstered it's wild on the butt...
BTW I saw those pegs for circa 90 quid with that 10 day post last night from one of the resellers on the AE App... 16 quid tax tho ! Keep forgetting about that..
Find the standard pegs a little high and as a lanky sod my knees ache after a while.
Are you able to lower the pegs with the Gilles to a lower position than the standard pegs?
