Greetings all! I have determined that I want to install rearsets on my 2005 bonneville T-100. I have done as much online research as possible and am now looking for the unparalleled knowledge of those on this forum.

I know they are different visually, but as far as quality goes, which is the better kit?

Any information/opinions will be helpful. Thanks in advance!

Marc

I have the NH kit, and while I haven't installed it yet the quality of parts is outstanding.

I haven't heard a complaint about either kit though.

EDIT: the one complaint I've heard about the LSL kit is that the instructions are in German only, but if you're mechanically inclined it's not too difficult to install them.

I think it comes down to looks, do you want classic almost standard looking rearsets, or do you want some bling ultra modern looking rearsets? I wanted a sublime change, so I opted for the NH's, not to mention I got them used for about 1/2 what they cost new.... :-D

I have had the NH set installed now for 8 months and I have had absolutely no issues at all. Very good quality.

Question: do the NH rearset footpegs fold up in the same way as the OE footpegs? I can't just can't tell from any of the pics.

Thanks for all the info. I'll most likely go with the NH rearsets since I'd like to maintain a more classic appearance and the quality seems to be excellent. Thank you all for your input. Much appreciated.
