I have been looking at these on Ebay and they have a great description and look like a quality product for the price. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with these rearsets or PP Tuning as a company?

Sorry never seen them before but if I was paying that price for an unknown I think I'd go for the set Griff has developed and produced.

Here's mine:

No these are mine now! :devious

Yeah, Griff rear sets as in my piccies above.

Contact Griff/Zoe for the price and availability, they may surprise you. :thumbup

The quality/engineering on these rear sets is outstanding, on par with Gilles if not better. :inlove

PP tuning rearsets are good, but what's the point buying rearsets that don't relocate the rear brake master cylinder to give a proper working rear brake. :confused I have Gilles fitted, work great, look great, but would have had Griff's if he had been making them at the time, £100+ cheaper than Gilles and at least as good! :thumbup

My PC at work wont allow me to view the photos linked from facebook! The suspense is killing me! I put a cheeky offer on the PP rear sets so I will see what they come back with. I will fire an E-mail across to Griff now too.

I have to be careful using the rear brake now, it can quite easily lock up the rear wheel. :thumbup

I can tell you it's a unique experience that I am getting used to pretty quickly.

I have the pp tuning rearsets on my bike and I like them. The pegs are a little short but for the money they are well worth a set. You can also get spares easy to. It doesn't move braking components but why pay double for the a product that does the same. I wanted griffs but he didn't have any left, so if he sold out again, pp tuning are worth a shot.

I can see the Griff items now. They look good although I do like the idea of a set without a push rod for the gear selector. How much does Griff charge for a set and how much did you pay for the PP Tuning ones? I put an offer in on eBay for £140 but not heard back yet.

looks like Griffs are going to be 50 more plus postage. I will have to have a good think and decide if they are worth the extra.

Anyone have an idea how hard the job is to relocate the rear master cylinder if I get Griffs rearsets??

Does it all move as one unit, or is there bleeding, line cutting etc to contend with??

It's no problem at all,al the kit is included,use original hose & he supplies a hydrolic rear brake light switch,I love all the tiny grease ports for the rose joint bearings & there's bearings on the brake & gear lever,I've got set number 5 ,so they are'nt gonna be that common when parked at a race meet,& he can supply spare levers & pegs if required
