Have had my Gilles on from just about two weeks now, gotta say i love them, except for one problem; the shift lever peg....I was scooting down the 101 at about 70 mph and went to grab a lower gear, much to my surprise the little peg on the lever was no where to be found....thank god the 1krr has lots of torque, limped it home in 3rd and called my dealer, who put them on; they weren't surprised....he said that had that same problem on someone elses and ordered me a new shift peg. He said that the have a fix to make sure it stays tight this time but for the cost, i think they should be that way from the factory....emailed gilles directly, let you know what they say. So if you get them, make checking that part of your pre-ride check list....no fun when it falls off.

Gilles emailed me back today, was quite surprised considering they are in Germany. They are sending me another shifter toe peg. I don't want to sound greedy, but the dealer is already replacing the peg free too, so I guess I will have a back up. I responded to Gilles letting them know while I appreciate the quick response and the free peg, I still question the quality and craftsmanship of their product, for almost 500 bones, it just shouldn't happen, not to mention it also posed a safety concern. We will see what they say. As for the thread lock, I whole heartedly agree, and use it myself, but didn't think I'd have to do that myself when I paid to have them installed. I will check it thoroughly after its replaced. I the mean time I got a rubber shifter cover and used a 1/4 in bolts with double nuts and lock washers....is very pretty, but its solid and gets me back on the road...and yes I used thread lock:)

easy fix if you get any rear sets just use lock-tite blue red might be extreme in case you need to replace it... I had a similar problem with my vortex rear sets and by luck mine did not fall off but did come loose.
