Speedymoto rear set interest...possible goup buy?

I'm shipping the rear sets back to Belissimoto today, although there has been crickets in response to my emails/PM's for the last two days. The forum log shows: Last Activity: Yesterday 10:12 PM
 
This all makes rather depressing reading.
I'm still waiting for mine. Shipped 20/08/09. I'll let you know what happens if and when they arrive.
 
Message received from Randy, and all is well. PM him if anyone was waiting for or looking for these rear sets. They should arrive at his door by tomorrow and are the red/black 1098/1198 set.
 
Here is some new feedback for everyone. I went to take apart the shift side to try repositioning the shift lever. When I went to torque down the peg bolt to the recommended 26ft-lb, I blew out the threads in the back nut. Now I can't get the peg off, the screw just free spins. I posted earlier that I though the nut felt a little strip when I went to tighten it down, I guess the third time is the charm.

While dealing with this f*cking mess , I noticed my peg would stay up in the folded up position all on its own, even with that big spring. Upon inspection I found the back of the peg rubs the piece its mounted to. Just another damn thing.

Before anyone speculates, I'm a mechanical engineer working in Silicon Valley, I know how to use a torque wrench, and mine was a company calibrated wrench. I am at the airport starting my vacation, but I took some pictures so I can put together a list of good and bad I've seen since trying to put on these sets. I will be sending it to Speedymoto, as well as posting some of it here on a new thread. I really like the Speedymoto sets, and plan to work out the bugs myself, but I expected so much more from these
 
Shit sorry mate.. I wasn't touching that with so much Tq. I just stuck a bit of thread lock on and gave it a quarter turn. The thread pitch mate aint the best and cres stainless. have to try and apply force on the bolt toward the peg and find the thread otherwise it's drilling it. My pegs seem a bit sticky also, thopugh I don't think it's anything that won't sort it's self out with a little use. The whole design with the spring getting trapped and twisting ain't the best. Probably would never question it if it was already on the bike fitted oem.
 
Just a heads up. Due to the long delay before these were ever delivered by Speedymoto, you will take a $14 "hit" in Paypal fees when you get your refund.
