should do fine till you crash, but most rearsets get trashed in crashes anyways.

@ the OP, here is some real talk. Each crash is different, some trash the rearsets, others.... just trash the bold anchors and other crashes just mess up the shifter or brake lever. Kinda hard to tell and ymmv depending on the crash. Since your ordering parts, you might want to spring for a spare or two of the common breakpoints. Levers, pegs and bolts to attach the rearset to the frame. Past that... your much better off getting woodcraft or vortext. Why? Because someone in the paddock or online may have a spare for cheaper costs. If in the paddock and you need a spare, the bikes running woodcraft rearsets are more common and you can get by with something that someone may have extra laying around. If buying for home, major name brands are more common and such.... or you can get replacement pegs and bars for < $20 + shipping and your rolling again. I honestly hate buying into the majority, but it does have it's advantages when push comes to shove. Feel me?

Agreed, I aint saying nuttin' about that though, that is why I said get some spares.
All I am saying is, when you need a peg/lever to save your track day that cost $185 bucks or go home, stuff starts to make sense.

The reason not to buy into the majority and get woodcrafts is that here in Aus, most riders who ride in the 250 cup are running Bonamici (at $500 a pop) I ain't spending half my bike value, as I needed a set that could be used on track and road, as I mainly ride the HP4 on the track as the ninja is my daily, but on occasion I feel like taking the Ninja out, particularly when I'm with my friends who all ride 250 cc and 125cc bikes

Yes, it's not that its an object, I just cant justify spending that sort of money on a bike that is mainly for commuting and occasionally for the odd spirited ride so really I'm already being an idiot but these were too good of a deal

I did as Chris suggested when I bought the vortex and bought a spare peg. My Christmas list includes other spare parts.
Please let us know how they perform. They look really nice |

Haha, I will definitely let you guys know how they go. so far from what I can tell they are pretty much a stock fit, no need for pressure switch and all that ****. I'm also keen to see how they perform in the twisties.
Might do a DIY for them, if I can be bothered. I'm super lazy when it comes with taking pictures while I install cause all I want is my new parts on the bike

Put them on last night, there was a little bit of fiddling to do with them as the brake light switch wouldnt activate in original position and I think this mod will create issues should I do a braided line conversion, as they pull the line tighter. But Ill be getting the lines done custom as is, so just more money to spend :/

Yea, trim them i Tell you, I installed them and didnt trim initially until after a ride i found the line rubbing against the tyre and millimeters from a hole in my line, so fixed that, my biggest issue is that I just wanted to ride the damn thing

Bonamicci's are great, but I find these better, only thing, if you buy these, make sure to use plenty of blue Loc Tite to hold them in.

Can these be lowered? I want rearsets, but more so to be able to lower them. Completely clueless, if any rearsets have a lower foot peg setting...
Edit: Judging by the back side, you can. But how much lower is that, than stock?

Couple question I have about rear sets. I have been wanting to get some, just don't have the cash flow for it yet, but first off do they make your leg room better or worse for a taller, long legged person? I feel like my knee's are in my throat when I ride. Second, are handlebar clip-ons neccessary to get the full effect from them?

If you want more legroom, you will need offset pegs (Buell part) or an adapter plate that would drop the original control brackets (reaersets) down. |

Find the spot on the tank where you like to grip with your knees. That is your anchor spot that all ergos are based on. Going up and back WILL measure longer if you get out the tape. So yea, most aftermarket rearsets can yield more "knee to foot" room, but will make the ergo more aggressive, ie more forward. Getting rearsets that lower the foot is also a great option if you need more room and want to preserve the standard ergos. Do you need clipons with rearsets? No, they are independant per your needs as the rider. Hope that helps!

I would like to see an example of how someone made the offset pegs work. I just googled them and still trying to wrap head around how they would be installed
