onesec.... VORTEX rearsets - Page 5

Filed a dispute payment affidavit, should get my money back soon.

Found a place that sells vortex pretty cheap, and everyone at the track usually has parts for vortex. So I am going to go that route instead.

I like my vortex rear sets... the fitment was a little tight... they needed a little grinding to fit properly... but nothing crazy... and I'd rather have them fit tight than loose...

Most track dudes I talked to weren't too hot on the vortex dealies... one said "I've crashed with woodcrafts and vortex. Don't buy vortex".

One reason I bought vortex was because I was steered that way from racers because of the ease of getting parts when you do go down and most people have them at the track. Shit is going to break at speed no matter what you get.

Well I got my vortex rearsets today and got em installed. Finally can do GP shift. God, these are nice. I am very happy with my purchase. I was finally able to get back on two now that these came in. It felt great. I missed riding so much. I will do a more in depth write up later and put in some pics. These were a super easy install.

Nice title edit

This your first chance at GP shift? Hard time adjusting?

It took me about one day of riding for it to become second nature.

I had GP shift on the SV til I got the lowers, then it wouldn't work unless I cut the lowers and I didn't really want to do that and the coolant hoses on the RR just don't let you switchover real easy on the RR.

I have had a couple oopsies already, couldn't find neutral at one red light. Finally gave up and stalled out in 4th or 5th gear

Haha the first couple rides I made some dumb mistakes... luckily none of them were near redline or it might have been a pretty hairy situation.

But now that I'm used to it.... GOD gp is so much better. Clicking off those clutchless upshifts feels so great.

FUCK the GP shift.
