Another "curious" guy. I thought Troy was the only "curious" regular
around here ;-)

Limited production parts that have to be made from billet are always
more expensive than stuff that is mass produced enough to make sand
casting or die casting molds cost effective. Whoever build the rearsets
for several different models has to make them as modular as possible,
with lots of interchangeable parts used on many different bikes, he
can't make them unique and still profit from it...

If the motorbike you own didn't come with rearsets, or the real reason
you want a different set of rearsets is for style and cosmetic reasons
(like special purple anodizing, or the like), you're going to have to
pay for being stylish...

And, you won't be able to attract a crowd of ardent fans by standing in
a parking lot yelling, "Hey, you guyz! Come over here and check out my
stock footpegs!"

Stock footpegs are like feet, everybody's got two of them, or, at least
they start out with two...

Maybe the cheapest strategy would be to go to a bar with your best bud,
buy him a beer, and tell him that you really, really like *his* choice
of stock footpegs. Maybe he'll say that he likes your footpegs too...

And you never know where that might lead, because he might be just as
"curious" as you ;-)
