Global Moderator mjh937 Posted January 22, 2016 Global Moderator Share Posted January 22, 2016 It seems that most aftermarket rearsets do not have foot pegs that can fold like the stock ones. Is that a potential problem if the pegs scrapes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pattonme Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 It seems that most aftermarket rearsets do not have foot pegs that can fold like the stock ones. Is that a potential problem if the pegs scrapes?depends on the degree of scrapeage and vertical force being applied. solid mounts are much easier to make and keep the 'spreading the ankles' syndrome less.

In addition, if you put them in the highest most rearward position, you probably won't have any scrapeage because you'll have much better clearance in the first place. Also, solid foot pegs act as frame sliders in a crash and can help protect other parts of the bike. - Paulie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nokfir2 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 anyone know if your rear brake light will still work with these? (when activating rear brake only) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JA50N Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 It looks to have the correct bracket for the switch and the spring connection on the pedal. You will have to transfer the spring to the new set though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gregjet Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 I have ordered a set. Originally I was very skeptical as the "paypal" page looked fake and didn't show a HTTPS link, but they fixed it up to a proper paypal login screen ( with correct html address) and I paid for them. Waiting for them. Go forth and modify my son...go forth and modify... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmrphy03 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Any updates on how these turned out? Really interested in them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member rowdy Posted March 11, 2016 Author Premium Member Share Posted March 11, 2016 I got mine installed last night and rode them for the first time today. I really like them. It took a little fiddling to get the brake light switch set right, and the shifter at the perfect angle, but I really like the position and feel much more balanced on the bike (I have the Renthal ulra low bars). I can't comment on reliability yet, but I'm super impressed with the fit and finish for the price. Why can't left turners see us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have little idea what is the "correct" setting...when you say "set the shifter at the perfect angle" ...is that just for personal preference, or did you notice a difference of some kind when shifting?

I have little idea what is the "correct" setting...when you say "set the shifter at the perfect angle" ...is that just for personal preference, or did you notice a difference of some kind when shifting? It was just my personal preference. I originally had it way too high and I had to lift my toe too much to shift, and then I lowered it, but after riding, I decided to raise it a little more. Just trying to find the spot where it's comfortable to upshift and downshift and my foot doesn't have to reach too far for either. The brake lever toe interface I moved back a notch too (from it's forward most position) just so it was a little more underfoot. Overall, I'm totally happy with the adjustability and the fit, but like I said, the durability is yet to be seen. I almost picked up the driven TT set, and I'm sure those are in a higher class, but once again, I was hooked by the bargain price of the ebay offering (which doesn't always work out so great), but @gregjet seemed to be happy with his too.

Premium Member rowdy Posted March 13, 2016 Author Premium Member Share Posted March 13, 2016 Looks like another ebay vendor with the cheap rearsets. I think they are the same as the ones I purchased, but... could be subtle differences, and not sure if they are etched. Why can't left turners see us?

Premium Member rowdy Posted July 2, 2016 Author Premium Member Share Posted July 2, 2016 Sometimes it's the little things in life that are the most satisfying. I started to wear through the rubber shift pedal cover on my ebay rearset and compared it to the stock one and thought it might fit. So I bought a couple of the stock ones from MRCycle and they arrived today. They fit perfectly... The old one that I cut off... [attachment id=1871" thumbnail="1] The new one...
