Kyle's been done with his several times, i think he just snapped parts, never folded a plate.

You are hopefully going to be using loctite all over them anyway. Vortex parts come apart easily. Kyle has lost several bolts and I have had bolts untighten that were loc-tited down and torqued. Just cheap material is all it is...

A buddy of mine has Sato rear sets on his RC51 and he keeps loosing bolts.

I wouldn't get Sato's, that's too rich for what you are going to use it for. That will snap just as easy when it hits the ground. When replacing rearsets, I would try to find something decently reliable that is economical and has cheap replacement parts.

They are not very durable either. He low sided at the track at about 50 and it ground the peg half way down. All he had left was 2 inches of peg on the left side. So stay away from Sato rear sets is what I'm trying to say. Their exhaust rocks though.

you should loctite all the bolts that piece your rearsets together. I did on my woodcrafts.

I didn't loctite the two bolts that hold the rearset into the frame of the bike though... it's not spec'd in the service manual to do so.

I love sponsorhouse now. $1 for new vortex rearsets.

Nice! Your contract probably says to keep the prices confidential though...
