hello folks, been meaning to do this for a while but a post on FB R1 group reminded me about it.
In the midlands with a 2007 R1, look forward to meeting some of you when summer arrives
Steve.

Steve, it would be worth starting a new thread with this question in it as that would get more people's attention I.e. It would be more obvious as a question and hit them in the face so to speak.
I had some cheaper than gillis rearsets on my 4c8 but I can't remember the name of them, what I do recall, and those days I did shed loads of miles, over 45,000 on the 4c8 in under two years is that they didn't last half as well as the gillis I had on my 5vy which did over 65,000 miles in under three years.... My memory ain't what it used to be but as Hercule Poirot would say..... I will get my little grey cells working

Still can't remember the name of them but the gear shift rod didn't go through the frame like the OE rod as can be seen on the pic below
