Im scrapping my pegs every once in a while going into the freeway and carving up canyon curves but i was thinking how it would be nice to have some more leg room too so I asked Dave what he could do.
Group buy for adjustable rear sets, unlike Sato or other rear sets, the shifting rod goes under the bike's frame keeping the OEM clean look, but a lot more adjustable. Dave from Ocsuperbike does not have an account with them but would open one if there is enough interest for it. I picked to group buy this rearset specifically because this style doesnt have that "swiss cheese" look on the plate to be fully adjustable and the angles just flow with bike so beautifully. ![]() ![]() Made in Italy, but without the Italian price tag.

Awesome. a group buy of 2 people
![]() nah im kidding. With this group buy, we have some time on this one. A month or two out. this group buy im gonna do after the ASV ones are done. I know that this is holiday season and people are spending money on gifts and other people first. Also around 400ish, it takes some saving up to do before you can jump in, so this is just to plant the seeds for now and let people know that this is another option if they are thinking about rearsets and to let Dave get a rough number how many to order from Italy before they sit and collect dust in his office. |

To be honest with you, I wanna hit under that. high 300s if possible, and low 400 for the flip up spring pegs but we need more people.

$400 thats not a bargin guys. I am currently waiting for Vortex rearsets to be in stock and will order them. I spent days on internet looking for rearsets from FZ1 and found that Vortex will give most adjustment range.
https://www.vortexracing.com/shop/product/29719/1717/ I also like TRW from Germany they look sweet but range is smaller TRW Black Edition Racing Rearsets FZ1 1000 Fazer RN16 2006> |

yeah I know that there will have to be mod to sprocket cover done and that pressure switch installed. All it is I am just worried that if I go with e.g. TRW I would still drag the pegs as the adjustmnt may not be sufficent enough

I agree, and that's not all, if you want the shift rod under the cover for vortex, I think you have to set it up for gp style shifting (reversed gears). But I will consider vortex for the group buy too, Dave didn't fill out any forms yet.
I have to admit, 50 bucks cheaper is enticing but I still like lightech better. all rearsets have advantages and weaknesses, i think lightech has the perfect balance of function, adjust ability, and style no other manufacture has yet came close to. I mean looking at the pictures installed makes me think these rearsets were tailor made for this bike specifically. its all subjective of course. but look at it again carefully, and then look into your <3 what would jesus do? lightech. :::end scene and slowly fade to black::: Last edited by minja714; 12-07-2011 at 11:46 PM. |
