Ah eBay, you've done it again!

Well, about 3 months ago I started seriously thinking about getting rearsets for the R1. I looked at all the big brands, all the cheap brands, and generally got confused about it all. Realistically speaking, the R1 is not a race bike, nor was it intended to be. It is a road bike that I wanted to bling up a little more, so the next step was rearsets, black, shiny, adjustable. On Friday, eBay delivered me some TechG R1 rearsets for $360.48 to my door. Mintox.

I managed to get Robin and Nath to help me out with installing them yesterday (I have no idea how to install this kinda stuff - being a Mechanical Engineer and all *sigh*). For about $375 (with a bottle of brake fluid) I had a new peg system. They feel great, although I'm getting my jeans caught on the connector for the gear selector lever... must look into that.
