Danmoto Firstorm rearsets ( PHOTOS ADDED)

Post by Steve6088 »

My prayers have been answered! Rearsets for an affordable price ! First time I have ever seen these, must be new. I've ordered a set and will let you all know of their quality :beer:. I have been happy with the quality of danmoto stuff in the past

Steve, there were a load of comments on here about the replica Pazzo's they also sell but I bought a set about 3 years ago and have had no problem what so ever. You pay your money and take your pick.

I think they will be solid enough as it's the same Billet aluminium, but where they may lack is with smooth action and possibly the bolts wont be as strong or may rust quick. Maybe the bolt that holds the pegs on may need changing for something with a higher tensile as it may bend like those cheap peg lowers. But for the price I think they are good.
