vortex rearsets

snot · July 24th, 2014, 08:02 PM

I believe 250 and 300 are the same, so I will put this here.
I got the clutch side installed no issues. The brake side, I do not see anywhere to put the spring on it. So, where does the return spring connect or is it no longer required?

Really nice rearsets you got.

Maybe @Peanut_EOD or @Nemesis would know. I Don't have that brand but do not run a return spring.

Sirref · July 24th, 2014, 08:25 PM

I don't run a spring myself though I'm running a completely different setup with rearset adjusters instead of fixed rearsets

ForceofWill · July 24th, 2014, 08:29 PM

I don't run a spring either with Bohemian sets

snot · July 25th, 2014, 05:26 AM

Thanks, not sure if @csmith12 or @choneofakind has them either.

choneofakind · July 25th, 2014, 06:35 AM

Nope, sorry. I'm running rearset adjusters and stock rearsets.

I bet there is no spring attachment, alot of rear sets don't have them. Grab a inline return spring that goes around the plunger shaft.

I have vortex rearsets currently installed... I'll send you a picture when I get a chance. I can't recall about the return spring off the top of my head...

snot · July 25th, 2014, 07:22 AM

According to the institutions no, it does not use it. I didn't see the note at the bottom of the instructions.
But, @psych0hans I would like to see the pic. to verify my installation.

Hans what's up with the rust!

Compooky · July 25th, 2014, 09:30 AM

When you say spring, are you referring to the brake return spring or the brake light switch that usually needs to be replaced with a hydraulic one on rearsets?

Looks like Roaringtoyz. They make good products.

Vortex rearsets looks clean.

@Tigerpaw I did raise it back up. I left the roaring toyz fog bones on it ( less weight).
