What does one actually do with them?

What do you gain from them?

From that picture it seems they dont give you the levers too, and the footrests look like they need rubber.

Apparently they are worth 300 ish quid... but i cant see how.

all rearsets do is move the position of the footrests further up or back or both giving increased ground clearance or a more comfortable riding position. Very Happy

Cool.

To be fair i find my riding position comfy anyway cos im a big bugger, rearsets would probably make it too cramped.

Finer control, 'improved' looks (or just bling), better ground clearence, more adjustability.

I'm still undecided whether or not to get some Harris 'sets - do they have to come with carbon heelplates (wouldn't match y'see).

Their not supposed to have rubbers on them. One of their main advantages is the amount of 'feel' you get through them, which appears to be important to some people. Rubbers will detract from the extra feel the rearsets give.
