Both the product and the freight are much more expensive from US. For the two above I saved AUD$327 and AUD$137 respectively by purchasing from Performance Parts in England.
Ah, sorry Pete, I didn't realize you are in Aussie territory. Forgive my ignorance and oversight there!
I’ve had the gilles tooling on a bunch of bikes and have always had great luck with them . I’m 6’2” and they work great . I have the Rizoma rear sets on my Panigale V4SP and I don’t really like them too much . They grab my boot almost too much and are pretty short .
So you have the failure and structural analysis from the metallurgical exam of the failed part to back up your “.... quality control” statement? Can you post the report?
I also do not like how short the pegs are on those DP Rizomas. It did help slightly when I found out you could set them to non folding by inserting the set screw in the hinge. I still think I will replace them with Attack Performance over the winter though. The extra adjustability will be nice as well, for instance to get the toe peg right where I want it. Having large feet is not an advantage for track riding...
It just happened yesterday …. I would assume just the fact that the handle bar snapped off in my friends hand while under braking should speak for itself ….. beyond the fact that the guy is a certified mechanic both in automotive and motorcycle as well .
I don't remember the size, but they're supposed to be located inside the shaft of the joint. Mine were stuck, perhaps because of loctite, so I got some new ones from Ducati. They only cost a few bucks.
Fair, however that your friend is a mechanic hardly justifies a statement made about a manufacturers quality control. There is also the chain of custody of the piece in question leading up to the event and the lack of historical data from other users of that product. Not saying it’s not possible but until you have some failure analysis, “.... Lightech”
The fact that the bar snapped in two under the body weight of 150lb rider is enough in my book . Quality parts don’t just break in two … Not sure why you want to argue this point . I’m assuming you must be connected to litetech in some way .
Not at all. I use their rear sets and gas cap however I have zero bias. The fact is that you made a statement based on absolutely zero data. You have no idea what may have happened to lead to the failure. You just arbitrarily claimed poor manufacturing. Quality parts fail all the time and in many cases it was traced back to some event that weakened the part.
