Gilles Tooling - Uk Importer, I'm Angry!

I ordered a set of Gilles rear, adjustable footpegs for my 1200 off a reputable dealer on ebay. I came to fit them this afternoon and the stock mounting bolt will not fit through the hole in the replacement.

I contacted the seller who says Gilles have removed the pillion fitment from their listing but the UK importer hasn't and hasn't passed it on to any other sellers so they are still being listed as fitting the 1200. Fortunately, the seller has offered a full refund with free postage but that doesn't stop me being angry & frustrated.

Does anyone know of any other adjustable rear footpegs that will fit the 1200?

Gilles is a german/luxemburg manufacturer of high esteem (i recall they moved shop for tax reasons). Would contact them directly and tell them how their name is used.

Check Thurn in Germany.

Adjustable rear footpegs? Never heard of such a thing. I'm definitely enjoying my Gilles Rearsets on my VFR1200 however.

The seating position on the 1200 puts the passengers knees higher than on the 800 so a set of adjustable rear footpegs were requested by Mrs Skids.

Thanks Dutchy, I'll take a look. :beer:
