Tristan from aussiesportsbikegear.com.au was kind enough to offer a little support with racing for next season. One of the products he sells is Bonamici Racing rearsets. Bonamici are involved with the Goldbet BMW Superstock team, and have a lot of cool parts for lots of different late model bikes. http://www.bonamiciracing.it/home.html
The rearsets came well packaged, and are work of art to look at. Fitment was a fairly straight forward affair, with a little bit of tweaking to fit how I wanted, but nothing too difficult. The kit is very complete with a good shifter mount, all mounting bolts and shift rod supplied also.

The mount holes and position were identical to the ones I had on. So no adjusting needed! Lots of adjustment if needed though

The Alpha Racing units I have been using, are top of the line and retail for over $800. These retail for $515! Weigh the same and have a few features I prefer over the premium Alpha gear.

One of those preferences is the more aggressive footpeg grips. I tend to push quite hard with my outside foot when coming off turns and occasionally my foot comes off the peg. Hasn’t happened with these.

The verdict? I love them. They look sensational, are equal or better than much higher priced products. But the big plus for me, has been the shifting. I have tried a few different configurations on this bike as it has a really finicky shift and false neutrals can be scary. So far with a practice day on the full circuit and seven times on track at the St George meeting – not a single missed shift.
