Im going to cross post this in 'Da Lounge' because it is very time sensitive, I hope thats not a problem.
I am currently in bangkok and Ive found a few shops that sell aluminum rear sets which Im guessing are knock offs. You can find them on ebay occasionally but you have to pay like 40$ + nearly 40$ shipping. Ive already bought two sets for myself and wouldnt mind buying a few more and bringing them back with me, then shipping them from chicago. I said ~50$ because Ill probably have to purchase an extra piece of luggage (its pretty cheap here at the markets) so that I can fit the extra rear sets, and its possible that I could incur some extra cost from the airlines. If the airlines doesnt slap me with a charge for having too many bags I could probably sell them for a bit less.
So heres the thing, I leave bangkok tomorrow at around 8pm, so I need to get a rough idea of how much interest there is in these rear sets by tomorrow morning (theres a 12 hour difference so Ill check this page at about 9:30pm US-CST.) If enough people show interest then Ill try my best to go tomorrow and buy up whatever I can find.
My camera broke about a week ago so I cant post pics right now but here are some pics that are similar to the ones Ive found. Everyone I saw was different, however they all were made of a mounting bracket and then the peg and control arm on the same bolt. So you could mount them with the bracket or simply use the lever and peg on your footpeg mounts and discard the bracket.
