Vortex Rear Sets and Air Shifter

[GNBRETT]

who hear runs Vortex Rear sets and an air shifter? How do you have ur air shifter setup?

 

[Ludicrous Speed]

Right now I am running the setup with the ram under the footpeg (Horizontal)

I will be switching to having it run off the motormount. I plan on having a part machined that extends off the front of the shifter and uses the bolt for the shifter "peg" to hold it on

I currently have mine set up to run horizontally as well with the stock rear sets but im afriad the bolt for the shifter linkage will hit the air cylinder if I go with the Vortex rear sets cause it would lower them quite a bit. I might have to consider something like ur doin tho.

I have mine as low and far back as they go, and everything works perfect! The only reason I am going to change it is because the aftermarket Catalyst bodywork would have to be hacked so badly to clear the shifter

No pics right now because I am messing with the bodywork, but if I get a minute, I will throw it on and show you what i have

BTW, I was amazed at how much more legroom the Vortex offers! I never bought any because I could not justify the cost. I got those for a steal, and I am glad I did!

yea I feel like a contortionist sitting on my bike with the stock rears. im 6'0 tall and my legs are just too bound up. cant imagine how ppl over 6 ft tall can ride without lowering the pegs.

btw, is that the bracket Spencer sells on his site?

A similar one that I got from Ebay
