This may be true while parked but how close does it come during suspension travel?

I just went out to my shed and jumped up and down with the full force of my 250lb. Butt on my bike. It was still at least 2 inches away from the rearset adjuster, even further from the rearset itself. I could make a video if you don't believe me

Sweet

I'm glad it clears.

Maybe some pics of his chain guard damage would be good now.

I can feel the swingarm move (speedbump or similar) and smack my foot pretty hard through the peg. May have to dremel it down a bit, but the metal bracket is just below that... Otherwise seems to be working good.

Whoops, didn't see this post till now. Anyway its picture time -

After a while I stopped feeling the smack when they hit, seems the gouge is big enough that clearance issues are no longer there. As long as they don't bump together it works for me. I would be concerned about loosing further suspension travel when needed at full lean. Maybe need to dremel it out a bit.

Edit: I run my preload setting at the lowest possible. I am 120 pounds so that is what is recommended for my weight. Have not tried two up since I got the adjusters but it may be a problem...

Your avatar looks like it is lowered also. Is this true?

scotty · June 14th, 2011, 05:33 PM

Mine don't come near of anything?? What is that in th picture. Chain gaurd?

infinitethrill · June 14th, 2011, 11:47 PM

Nope, bike has not been lowered. I would never do that. Eww. Anyway, is my bike broken? I thought it was normal

CZroe · June 15th, 2011, 01:11 AM

You sure the previous owner didn't lower it?

It sure looks lower than stock in your avatar...

Live2ride · June 15th, 2011, 07:50 AM

I just wanted to add that the ground clearence with these adjusters is noticeably higher and I feel much more confident when taking sharp turns. Now I just need to take off those useless peg feelers that keep catching my pant legs

.

infinitethrill · June 15th, 2011, 05:32 PM

Verdict says:

Do I need a different angle or can someone tell from this?

warlord · June 16th, 2011, 06:37 AM

Looks like the stock dog bone. Take a pic of your installed rear sets, I'd like to see if we can't figure out what's going on here. Mine isn't even close to rubbing

Vampyre · June 16th, 2011, 06:43 AM

82. Just waiting on Paypal invoice.

scotty · June 16th, 2011, 03:39 PM

Billy did you install them correctly? Only thing I can see that mght hit with these adjusters are the passanger foot pegs.

Dr Honda · June 16th, 2011, 07:24 PM

Hi Guys,

Thanks again for all the orders.

I noticed today that I still had 2 "Blem" rearset adjusters that haven't been paid for. So... I'm releasing them for sale. One person has already expressed interest in one (sale pending) so... there is one set left.

I am removing the blem code from my web site... so if you would like it... Please PM me.

I apologize if you were on the original list for a blem set... but it's been 2 weeks since they were made available.

I considered this a dumb question but....did you install the rearsets on the inside (bike side) of the adjusters instead of the outside? That could be the reason why its rubbing.

infinitethrill · June 19th, 2011, 01:10 AM

I posted a photo install guide earlier in the thread. Here it is installed showing the gouge in the plastic where it was hitting.

Billy: has your bike been dropped on the left side? I believe the mount points for the rear-sets have been known to bend. If they are bent inwards towards the swingarm, this may be why yours are hitting the chainguard. I guess the rear-set could possibly be bent too. Need to check both.

Blem's are all gone.

Thanks guys.

infinitethrill · June 20th, 2011, 12:12 AM

I was able to yank real hard and bend it back. I dropped it earlier this year (the only damage that I knew of was a punched fairing. Had no idea it was bent. Everything else about them is fine then!

Cool. I'm glad we were able to figure it out. Keep a look out for a used stock rear-set on here. They are available at reasonable prices pretty frequently.

I read this in bed last night and might have missed the answer to the question... Shipping to Ontario?

Thanks!

Shipping to Canada is $14, and takes 6 to 10 working days.

Jerkson · June 22nd, 2011, 11:37 AM

I thought I didnt have to re-use my stock shift rod. I Expected one of the threaded rods to be reverse-threaded for the front. Can someone take a head-on pic of how they assembled their rod?

Also, even with the rearsets in the "closest-to-stock" location there is a bit of a kink in the rear brake fluid line. How have you guys routed this line to avoid this?

You do reuse, I made the same mistake. None of the screws would go into the front. Attach the extension nut to the shift rod and then pick the remaining screw according to length of where your peg will be and screw them in.

I have mine in the furthest back position and have no kinking, all I did was push/pull the brake line through the little mount that holds the line on the undertail. The kinking went away after that.

Yeah I figured that out already

I was just under the impression that it was a full replacement.

I will go play with the brake feed line a bit then. Thanks for the tip

vince_2149 · June 22nd, 2011, 10:55 PM

Received today and installed on my pregen tonight.
If anybody with an 07 or prior bike was interested in purchasing these, you can tell that they weren't made for the pregen due to a few issues on the rear brake side, but they still bolted up just fine after a few adjustments.
Thanks!

After looking at my bike last evening, I think you're referring to the brake light signal wire that goes through a mount. I'm referring to the rear brake reservoir fluid line.
