Faylix, I have the rearsets for my F4i. I've been reluctant to write a review of them because I have mixed feelings about them too. Seems like a good product that needs just a little more R&D and a complete parts bag, then it's ready for prime time. Do you think you could email me? (jsteinbrecher at gmail dot **** spambots com) It would be helpful to hear from someone who has them on, adjusted and is riding with them. I'm sure you can offer a few tips that were only learned by cursing at them I ride pretty hard day to day, and the city isn't exactly forgiving. -Faylix ps: there isn't a **** spam bots in there U've got mail Parts came today... lets see if they match up! -J

Will do! Shot Dennis @ BR an email today (from my schools library, ughn, don't go to law school, or at least don't study in the library - its exam season and it smells like fear) to ask if he had received the plates yet. Looks like China actually got them to him on time and he told me he'd send them out priority. I'll post a full write up and take some pictures as soon as I get them on and adjusted. I don't foresee any major complications, even without being able to mount the plates I have the sets mostly together and they look like they should be smooth sailing. I'm looking forward to some much more precise shifting - the bike's previous owner low sided on the shifter and the stock rear sets have never been the same since - in fact it has a tendency to all of sudden get really loose for no reason. I used to be afraid if I scraped my pegs I'd leave my shifter behind! As a fairly short guy (5'5'' if i stretch, lol) I'm moving the pegs all the way up - probably means I'll never scrape a peg again.... as loong as I keep her rubber side down. Ride safe, -Faylix

Bought a set of Bohemian Racing rear sets off his website, specified my model on website and on the paypal order (02 GSXR 600) When they came they were packaged very nicely. Parts looked very well made, the bearings were smooth and lubricated. Instructions were basically two pictures of which parts went with which side of the bike and some general tips. Not exactly a step by step guide but informative enough to get the job done. Even included some carbon fiber heal guards. very sexy. Some notes: You have to re-use one of the factory eye bolts for the shifter, the instructions showed a second eye-bolt in the picture but only one was included. Not a big deal, and doing it this way allowed me to re-use the factory rubber cover. I believe some washers (not included, but clearly easy to obtain) will be required to space out the shifter if you want to put it in an aggressive position... which leads me to my next word of caution: When I went to actually mount them to the bike, I ran into some trouble. it looked like the bolts that mount the plate to the frame weren't lining up correctly. Uh oh. After breaking out the trusty calipers I figured out: The distance between the center of each mounting bolt on my frame was about 56 mm. The plates included were 59mm. There was no way I was going to be able to get a screw through both holes! Thankfully someone picked up at BR on a Saturday... but the news wasn't great. I was going to have to wait for them to make another order from China, expected to arrive the next Thursday (today) and then wait for them to ship me the required parts which hadn't exactly been quickly the first time around. *sigh* So they look like a good product for a GREAT price... but seeing as how I already gave my brake side rear set to a buddy that crashed recently I'm walking till I get those plates, I'm missing the first really nice day of the season today and I have a track day coming up Saturday the 18th that I'm worried I'm going to miss. Long story short, measure the bolt pattern on your frame, and when you order make sure they confirm the size on the sets they ship you. Then enjoy your new rearsets that will make everyone who paid 350 or more for vortex or 500 for sato's turn green . Please please please get me my plates soon Dennis. -Faylix. K2 GSXR 600 -1/+2, DID chain, K&N drop in filter, hot bodies hugger, Bohemian Racing rear sets. super awesome custom rashed up plastics from the guy that bought the bike, low sided once and never rode it again before selling it to me for a great price %). PS: I'm from Boston I joined this forum to make this post I do think BR makes a good product here I am for sure not trying to flame BR, but I wish someone had told me to be careful and confirm the measurements before I spent $210, gave away a piece of my baby, and now can't ride.
