I have the Gilles rearsets. Do these use bearings at the pivot points? Is every part,down to the screws, individually available for purchase? I crashed and broke two parts on the right side. I paid around $50 and had the parts in a couple days.

yep, you can buy each part seperately.

The pegs will be down to $10 once they get a CNC machine. Ballbearings basically are used at the levers (brake, shifter) and they are very smooth.

Brake light is avail using a Banjo connection, purchased separately. As has been said, what's the point? Well, besides being DOT-approved, but if you've done your can(s) or changed your plate or signals then you're already out of compliance so don't bother.

Don't know that detail level yet. Main pieces obviously yes, the rest are the kind of bolts I think I can pick up at some auto-specialty hardware places.

I kept busting the whole bracket on my 636's sets which is why I went this route. That and I ground up my left peg at Mid-Ohio so I'm hoping for some more clearance.
