I Purchased a set of these. I thought they were well machined. I really liked the shifter side but the brake was at too steep and angle. I ended up filling in and remilling the slot at the correct angle. I am manly using my bike for tourning so I was not looking for an aggressive riding position. It only took me about a hour to do but I have access to all the tools I required.

I've not found the need for aftermarket rearsets. Even on the track I only scraped pegs when I leaned the bike too far. Proper body and foot position fixed that.
Those black rearsets look sexy though. I'm wondering if they'll move forward for commuting comfort.

I've never had a problem with the stock rearsets either, only ever scraped once and that was just being stupid and going way to fast for street riding.
I did put some of the cycle control risers as i posted above on though as either due to the placement of the stock pegs or the length of my legs i found myself gripping more of the frame with my legs instead of the tank. Raising the pegs an inch with the risers made for a much more comfortable and less tiring ride, for me anyway.

The kind in a previous post with several mounting holes can often be flipped upside down and put on the opposite sides of the bike, to move the footpegs more forward and lower.

So I ended up purchasing the Bohemian Aftermarket sets from Bohemian Racing. Got them and put them on. Instal didn't take very long, a little over an hour.
I had the same issues with the braking side where the pedal was way too low, I think i'm going to use an m8 coupler and rod to see if i can extend the rod out ofthe master cylinder and adjust the pedal that way.
As far as quality goes, They look like decent material but they are painted(black). After just 1 ride I've already scratched the heck out of the shifter lever and the peg.
I've emailed Dennis this info as well to see what/if he can do anything for me.
if anyone wants I can probably upload some pictures later on.
