Metaltech or Woodcraft Rearsets?

[coffeegrinds]

I was looking for all black rearsets for my monster.  I narrowed it down to these two, but I can't decide.  I didn't like the speedymoto ones or rizoma ones.  Sato was in the mix, but I decided against it.  If anybody knows any other brands, I'm all ears.

CycleCat has the (DRS?) 53 for the S2R - they are very similar and can be made to fit.
It could still be a while, but the adjustability is fantastic.

GillesTooling is another option - also great adjustability.

+1 on Gilles.  if I had to choose between the two you listed I'm going MetalTech.  The Woodcrafts just seem too simple and "plain jane" for the $500 price tag.

I've always loved the way that metaltech's looked.

  Metaltech for sure, but I think these cnc rear sets are also nice and a bit cheaper

Thanks, Stopintime.  I saw that thread before, and it definitely helped me out with narrowing down my choices.  It's too bad there are some rearset manufacturers that only make them for superbikes...

style and performance is what I run

I voted for Woodcraft as replacement parts and servicability for their product is everywhere....you do a track day and lowside and grind down a footpeg, more than likely someone in the paddock has a Woodcraft peg more easily handy than any other...just my practical thinking is all...

Zakly.  Support is worth more than bling to me.

YEAH...no offense to Cycle Cat, but aside from their rearsets being beautiful and very articulate, there was a time when (until recently) they weren't around and if you stuffed your bike up, you were left short for serviceability of parts, like I found out on my track bike 2 years ago...I ended up buying a leftover bitsa kit of some loose stuff from a Multistrada kit that got cannibalized so that I could scrounge the parts I needed for my trackbike after lowsiding it with CycleCat stuff on it.

Those are some valid arguments for the Woodcraft.  The lack of adjustability is a bit of a concern. 

[stopintime]

May I ask why you want rearsets?

Bling is a valid reason, but if you think you'll benefit from a different foot position and know which position you need, it would be smart to get rearsets that does the desired job. Example: Sato adjust up and/or forward - that makes them forwardsets or upsets. 

If you're not sure - buy some with good adjustability in more than one direction.

2 reasons for me wanting rearsets. 
The first is definitely aesthetics.  It looks good.
The second is adjusting the rider position.  I bought the monster because I thought my forward leaning crotch rocket days were over.  We're all getting older, you know what I'm saying?  But I guess I'm not quite through yet.  I like the more tucked in position I can get from rearsets.

... then you'd want them to be quite a lot backwards. Maybe also up, depending on your height.
