Is the difference between Gilles, Harris etc all significant over standard road items?

Are they worth the extra dosh, if so how much would you pay for a 2nd hand set? or are they only there for tart factor?

Depends what you want them more.

Usually they offer more adjustment than standard items, so you can have them higher/further back for more ground clearence, or lower from comfort.

Better built quality, usually they are fixed as oppose to sprung, and you can reverse the shift to race shift. i.e. 1 up 5 down.

For the road, purely tart factor unless you have hugely long legs. For the track, they are pretty essential if you're fast.

I had Harris on the ZX7R and were comfy enough.

Bling more than needed.

Thinking are there any universal pairs or even pairs that can be worn by the same brand or older/younger model?
