Moriwaki rearsets

[Olof_imp]

Got these via Webike Japan as I felt the OEM gearshift sloppy and lacking downwards adjustment. The Moriwaki pegs can be set in the OEM peg position (or 20 mm higher) which suits me. They are also quite reasonably priced.

Delivery took a while but otherwise went perfectly. Well packaged and no damage. Instructions were in Japanese only, but no problem thanks to thoughtful pictures and clear torque values. Fitting was straight forward. Everything lined up perfectly and all bits were there. I noted that the Moriwakis are a bit lighter than the OEM kit, but not much. The hoses to the brake slave cylinder need to be repositioned but not disconnected so no drama and very easy to do. I had it all in place in one evening, and I work slowly (annoyingly so according to my wife). Fit and finish is perfect, especially for the price.

Test ride. The foot brake works as before, i.e. fine. The gear shift now sits where I want it plus has minimal play and a shorter throw. The feel is much more distinct. The pegs, non-folding, are very grippy. As they are bare aluminium (OEM have rubber inserts) I half-expected to feel engine vibes but no. Finally I think it all looks quite good.

Verdict: All good. I'd buy them again in a heartbeat. You can even get spares. So, very happy Moriwaki fan.
