Rear sets on a gen 1
« on: 03 August 2013, 09:57:08 pm »
How do chaps, in the near future, I'm hoping to buy some rearsets to fit on the bike, as I find the standard peg position is uncomfortable and I'm wanting something with a more sporty stance that suits my riding style.
Any one fitted them? What was the difference in riding position? Any recommendations?
Cheers :)

I'll be interested in this as i too think the pegs are a little too far forward. I was thinking about getting adjustable plates to mount the pegs a little further back.

I have LSL rearsets on mine.  Non-adjustable but comfortable for me and well made.

Footpeg rubbers are wearing out, which is one of the reasons why it'll soon be time to replace them and I might as well go for it and get a sportier, more comfortable (hopefully) ride at the same time.

Fitted these a while ago. Very ajustable.



Gilles rearsets.
Some say that he eats habanero chilli peppers dipped in oil of capsaicin for extra bite and that his pyjamas are made from Nomex. All we know is, he's called Ad the Bad

Gilles are the ones I will probably be fitting, when I saved up the small mortgage it costs to buy them!
