Vortex rearsets 1st gen adjustability
« on: 01 January 2023, 10:14:05 am »
At some point this year I think I'm going to buy some Vortex V2's. I've never had Vortex before, only Gilles works of art and it's the only name brand I can find that still has them for the 1st gens. What's I'm wondering is how low they can go. The factory footpeg position is perfect for my bad knee on street rides, I just want to raise them for trackdays. Does anyone know how low/forward they can be adjusted? I searched all over and everyone just asks how high they can go. Thanks.

Woah, thanks. I'm good then.


I was just about to ask something else. I looked at the Vortex's again and they were listed as fitting a '01-'10 FZ1 and the '11-'13 FZ8. Wasn't sure if they listed the 1st gens by mistake.
