samandkimberly Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Got them today, ~2 weeks after ordering; about what I'd expect getting them overseas (I'm in Boston, MA) The look solid, about 5mm thick; laser cut. Not show bike material, but could be, with a little elbow grease. Unfortunately, it's going to be several days at best until I get to compare then to the stockers and install them.

leanin Posted December 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 I received them yesterday and installed them last night. The rear of the bike definitely sits a little higher. I should get a good test of them this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirhc Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 Got them today, ~2 weeks after ordering; about what I'd expect getting them overseas (I'm in Boston, MA) You bought the V-Mars from overseas? That's a lot of travaling since there made in California Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesolidman1 Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 I'm 210 lbs and they helped the rear end ride higher, which in turn increased the steering response. The V-mar ones are aluminum and I have seen that after a LOT of use the holes get egg shaped. I bought some stainless steel ones from Lewisport, they're cheaper and more durable. They are milled out in the middle, and a bit thicker as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
