They're $205 for a set locally.
And the sugar fountain fairy swore so hard when she came to super-size that stale hope soybean; liiiike a homeless German woman. Who is this super-sizing spirit-crushing femme? And tell her I'll break a tree root up in her shrimp.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw thatâ€"it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

Personally I wouldn't trust a set for $205.00.  That's so cheap it makes me think that they're seconds or some sort of QC reject.

$240-$250? ---- OK, then factor in shipping and mounting.  Got ours for $405.00, mounted, out the door, tax & everything.  I wouldn't complain too much.
No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori.  Good people drink good beer.  Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.

Please note that I'm running pirelli and michelin on my bikes.   ;D

it's good so far... getting used to the height. although, I still haven't tried riding with my sidi boots yet (MUCH thinner sole). hopefully that won't be too tall for me

DarkMonster620

I tried one when I was in Miami a few weeks ago, it's a bit too tall for me, but, if I had the $$ I'd get the same one, same color scheme, black on black ...

the 1100 was completely too tall for me... the low seat on the 796 isn't so bad. feels like it sits a smidge higher than the old stroodle

DarkMonster620

Well as said, it was about 1" too tall for my feet to be flat on the floor ... but, I could do one flat foot and another on the bike ..

you get used to the one foot thing  :)

of course, I'd love to be able to flat foot both sides when sitting... but it's not the end of the world. we'll see how bad it is with those sidis lol
