Rearset - Suggestion...?

[markc4s]

Hello,

I am in the market for a pair of Rearset. Any suggestion of make and where to buy?

Thanks!

Vortex, $356 shipped with brake light switch, at MotoMummy.com That's cheap for quality. They adjust back and up easily and have smooth shifting and breaking. As well as great grip on the pegs.
I've had them on other bikes as well as my 08 Busa. They are as good as higher priced brands.

How much adjustment can you get from a set? I'm looking for a little more leg room. Will Buell peg mod work better than adjustable rear set? I know it will be cheaper!


Thanks

Matthew

Adjustable rearsets only adjust back and up, and around 1" each way depending on brand. The Buell or Vario pegs obviously drop down an inch or so.
The comfort difference between the 2 is a personal preference. Having Buell/Vario you obviously get your feet a little lower and many folks love them, but you also lose cornering clearance.
I'm 5' 10" and can see where stock pegs can cramp your legs, but I prefer rearsets adjusted back and up. They get your knees higher and therefore straighten your leg out more from the hip. That gets more of your ass and thigh on the seat, and I find that more comfortable.
Unfortunately you need to either ride both or buy them to know which is best for you.
