Footrest dimensions from New Gen to Pre Gen

tapdiggy · June 5th, 2009, 02:43 AM

I can't seem to find a straight answer on whether footpegs/footrest/rearsets built for newgen bikes will fit pregens. Maybe it's for lack of interest, but I am interested nonetheless. If anyone knows what the differencesare in terms of bolt placement, angles, etc.- please share. I will be collecting some measurements from my 2000 ninja as well as a buddy's '08, which I will post here soon.

Truong, you posted in a thread that discusses this earlier this week, but I don't know how much of it you got through:

I did indeed read the entire thread. There seemed no consensus on whether the bolt locations were the same or not. As I said I would, I took measurements from my friend's '08 and the dimensions are the same for both generations:

Right side upper bolt to lower bolt = 6.5cm

Left side upper to lower = ~5.5cm

The shift mechanisms(linkage, splined toggle, shift lever) are also the same, save for cosmetics.

New info on the subject at hand:

PICTURES

Right-side stock rearset with Cycle Control rearset adjuster installed.

Left-side stock rearset with adjuster and shift linkage extension

Brakelight switch repositioned to the back of third rearset bolt location. (Sorry about the tilted pic. I couldn't get it to work out)

Spot where the adjusters contact a frame weld. It's the only indication they weren't meant to go there.

So rearsets for '08+ Ninjettes will fit all Ninjettes. Any questions? (Not being snarky, BTW. I put a good bit of time into this subject and would love to share my findings with everyone.)
