May be a bit late, but I love my vortex rearsets, and marko138 your welcome to your own opinion but gpshift is better, clutchless upshifts, with shift detent kit ftw. I use it on the street aswell... Pic of vortex rearsets as gpshift, I'm going to get the r6 parts to mod it into a 1 bar system but right now its using two;

The 07 600rr parts are 1 bar. I know I can use 03-06 rearsets, I wonder why they just didnt do that in the first place.

Vortex didn't know about it untill customers started modding them to one bar. I know how to convert the 03-06 to a one bar just haven't gotten around to doing it plus my bike is plenty light heh but every little bit counts, I can't lose anymore weight with out haveing problems heh.

I'll never go back.

I'm sure you can do it. It's a question of if it's a simple mod or if you need aftermarket rearsets to do it. It might be a little harder to find for the non-supersport bikes. I.e. if you had a zx-6r it might be more common, or if I instead had a yzf600 it might be less common, etc. Mine was a 5 minute job. Cash money.

I see. A lot of aftermarket rearsets just offer two different shift rods for the shift types.
