Your bl00dy right Ian about the thread, although the load is limited until I put my entire weight on the rear sets (stand on them) it could be enough to knacker the thread, and then iam stuffed.

Prolonged pressure on the bolts would cause fatigue over time and the only way is to remove and measure etc.. Until I have enough pocket money saved iam going to sit it out.

For now they save my family jewels when going over bumps in the road and heavy braking. I understand the consequences should the bolts snap off whilst riding the bike and I know it wouldn’t be pretty.

Saying all this yours are the only other rear sets i like but at £400 there a little way off for now, i am a bit dry with the purchase of the bikethe insurance, the cans and the other bits and bobs go on it already. the rear sets was a quick fix.
