Look at the size and placement of those lightening cutouts!  It's no wonder they bent!

Two quick things:

1.) Woodcraft rearsets for GS500's. Buy them, use them, love them forever. And support one of the only manufacturers that has always built quality product for us GS folks. 

2.) Generic eBay shite, Raask rearsets, etc: Don't go cheap on ciritical components that have to bear your weight, that's all I'm sayin'.

I miss my woodcrafts.... but I doubt I'm going to buy another set for the GS....

After going back to the stock pegs, the bike deffinetly feels.... worse.

I'd give the seller a chance to make the sale good. If he shipped the same junk, either he doesn't care, or you bought too cheap, or both.

The rearsets are load bearing, and because of that I wouldn't trust anything that looked cheap. I also wouldn't trust anything that didn't stand up to a jump-up-and-down-on-it test.

I've broken speedplay frogs (mtb pedals) and some TiME  carbon (roadie pedals) in my use. Both of which were replaced with Ti spindles, updated bodies, and the newer products labeled "superlight" also bore a weight limit sticker and cast imprint of "150 POUNDS OR LESS !" on them.

Good companies will make it right. Cheapskates will skate on you.

Yea 600RR stock pegs will shear off if you stand on it. Go and try it, oh yea, you're skinny ass chineese girl It be OK. I know of someone who had that happen as he was starting to do a wheelie with fork bounce. Like pump your weight on it and as the forks bounce back, throttle open, and wheelie ... and the freaking thing broke right there.
Cool.

why do you come off like a prick sometimes?

Peetey Pablo is just mad I am trashing his bike.
And a 600RR being crashed, the foot pegs are going to be the least of your problems.
The bike I was talking about wasn't crashed, It was wheelied like crazy, and it was also prolly peg scraped, though I didn't quite ask him. I just fell over laughing. The dude weighed like 200+ lbs. No peetey pablo type feather weight.
They are stiff, but not strong. Y'know, like peetey pablo.
Cool.

Woodcrafts are some the most durable rearsets made. The set I had on my GS survived a 60+mph slide and ground the peg to about 1". Replaced the peg and good to go. Another set that I have (unless I have already sold them) are for a SV. They have been bent from being down but I straightened them out fairly well to be still useable.

You get what you pay for.

The ones the guy is sending me look better and much more decent and looking at the Buy it now price and the price I payed I think I got a good deal.
