Recommendations please. I know Hel and Goodridge are the top of the tree, but anyone know if these are any good?

Does bother me a touch that they don't have an independent web presence and are based in Bulgaria. Don't want the Stasi knocking on my door for another "payment" in 12 months time...

Ive always had goodridge, not tried the others, and not had any probs.

Venhill are supposed to be good to.

IMO HEL are bling, and you pay for it.

Goodridge seem a good buy, they aren't much dearer than the Bulgarian stuff (which does look like good quality, but it is only a photo), and yes, Hel is a chunk more expensive.

Venhill don't seem to have a specific set for my bike, and I can't fathom their website, but they do look nice.

EDIT: Just fathomed the website. And they still don't have my bike.
