    Woodcraft ftw. As you know I dropped my bike and now have a busted up foot peg. Instead of having to buy a whole new rearset I just ordered a 20 dollar peg. Also if you were to crash at the track there is likely to be someone there with an extra peg or other part that broke.

    Very true. I know woodcraft are tried and true. How grippy are they?

    I like the Vortex or the valtermoto type II adjustable rearsets. I had woodcrafts on my bike before and sold them a day later. I just didn't like how they made my legs feel cramped and limited adjustability out of them.

    I had Vortex on my 636 and they crashed well only needed a new peg.

    I have had no problems with grip. Never had my foot fall off unlike oem pegs.

    Vortex pegs are really sharp so be careful. I have had CFM Woodcraft and Vortex. I would go CFM Woodcraft again as the pegs give me better feedback.

    Make sure you look for adjustable no matter which brand you go with. I didnt realize how poor the stock peg positioning was until I had all the adjustability that came with my Vortex. I am probably an inch higher and inch back from the stock position and it is a lot more confortable.
    The Vortex are nice but as Elden mentioned they are sharp as hell.

    The older Vortex pegs were like meatgrinders! I run ValterMotos on my Gixxer and I really like them (thanks Joe!!!). As with most other brands, if you go down, all you need to do is replace the peg if necessary.

    The Sato's on my bike are the best I've ever had. I'm going to get a set for my other bike as well.
