Exclamation rizoma rear set prob!

Ok so I recently installed both passenger's and driver's rear set by rizoma.
Looks great, good quality material no probs on that.
Driving wise the brake lever is too stiff to use while braking is needed! I assume the spring used to the lever for rebound purpose is well too hard for road use.

May be is fine for track use as with the boots you need the brake lever to be felt stiff, but in a relaxed ride out with friends or girlfriend is unfriendly to say the least....
For those who have installed rizoma as well did you experience the same stiffness??

Not to mention that the passenger's pegs dont feel as secure as the stock ones were!! If passenger is heavy enough you can see the rear set going inwards giving you the impression that a crack could happen!!!!

TIA for your comments,
George

I think you've got some kind of issue with how your brake lever is setup - It should be that tight, and no one else with these has the problem that I've heard of.

For the flexing, that does sound a bit odd, but I don't think they'll crack.

i was actually thinking of trying the passenger pegs, as i didn't get any when i bought my bike. if you decide that you don't like them, drop me an email. i might be able to take them off of your hands.
