Hey guys, does anyone know if these are painted, or jsut normal alloy, after washign my bike today it appears there is a small crack going down the folds of the metal.
Is it somethign to be concerned about? and is a replacement easy enough to find?

Nope, nothing painted on the rear sets. Ouch if they have a crack, might be time to replace!

Re: Zed's Rearsets
Think I can make out the crack ..... does it open when pressure is applied to the footrest? if so it will need to go
If it is cracked METROS have wrecked one that I know of

Suggest do the ring around interstate as being a small part the freight from a wrecker will be cheap &
you can probly still use the existing rearset, but carefully....... now that you know there is a problem.
