I was looking for all black rearsets for my monster.  I narrowed it down to these two, but I can't decide.  I didn't like the speedymoto ones or rizoma ones.  Sato was in the mix, but I decided against it.  If anybody knows any other brands, I'm all ears.

If you didn't already read this waytogo

CycleCat has the (DRS?) 53 for the S2R - they are very similar and can be made to fit.
It could still be a while, but the adjustability is fantastic.

GillesTooling is another option - also great adjustability.

+1 on Gilles.  if I had to choose between the two you listed I'm going MetalTech.  The Woodcrafts just seem too simple and "plain jane" for the $500 price tag.

  Metaltech for sure, but I think these cnc rear sets are also nice and a bit cheaper

Thanks, Stopintime.  I saw that thread before, and it definitely helped me out with narrowing down my choices.  It's too bad there are some rearset manufacturers that only make them for superbikes...

I voted for Woodcraft as replacement parts and servicability for their product is everywhere....you do a track day and lowside and grind down a footpeg, more than likely someone in the paddock has a Woodcraft peg more easily handy than any other...just my practical thinking is all...

YEAH...no offense to Cycle Cat, but aside from their rearsets being beautiful and very articulate, there was a time when (until recently) they weren't around and if you stuffed your bike up, you were left short for serviceability of parts, like I found out on my track bike 2 years ago...I ended up buying a leftover bitsa kit of some loose stuff from a Multistrada kit that got cannibalized so that I could scrounge the parts I needed for my trackbike after lowsiding it with CycleCat stuff on it.

Those are some valid arguments for the Woodcraft.  The lack of adjustability is a bit of a concern.

May I ask why you want rearsets?

Bling is a valid reason, but if you think you'll benefit from a different foot position and know which position you need, it would be smart to get rearsets that does the desired job. Example: Sato adjust up and/or forward - that makes them forwardsets or upsets. 

If you're not sure - buy some with good adjustability in more than one direction.

2 reasons for me wanting rearsets. 
The first is definitely aesthetics.  It looks good.
The second is adjusting the rider position.  I bought the monster because I thought my forward leaning crotch rocket days were over.  We're all getting older, you know what I'm saying?  But I guess I'm not quite through yet.  I like the more tucked in position I can get from rearsets.

... then you'd want them to be quite a lot backwards. Maybe also up, depending on your height.
