What's your choice for rearsets???

To all..
Picked up some rear set adjusters and installing them..Got one side on and am already wondering about
their adjustability to my likings..I've seen others changing from the rearset adjusters to complete
sets by several manufacturers...What's your pick and why....
Cheers.!!

I bought the Rizomas. Couldn't wait for Motohooligan's any longer. Least expensive quality looking parts going but there is a problem. The shift lever spacer is not thick enough to allow the shift lever to clear the linkage when down shifting. I solved thyis by having a slightly longer spacer machined to provide the necessary clearance. 0.125 inch did the trick.

Should have been right from Rizoma.

I bought the KTM Rear Sets, they are exactly right, very good on the track, I also bought them for the RC8R. I like the sturdy solid feel, they are very well made, no fitment issues on either bike, although I had to make a couple of bolts to mount the lower fairing support bracket for the Akrapovic EVO 4 pipe on the RC8R. I took the Super Duke to the track, and the rearsets were great, I am about a half inch (13 mm) up and a half inch (13 mm) back from stock and it is perfect for me on the track. Excellent adjustability, excellent build quality. I paid about $530.00 USD for the Super Duke Set, and $560.00 USD for the RC8R set, plus the $250.00 for the heel guards, so when I say they were worth the money, I really mean it.

RC8R

how about these?

Very blingy and a guy that has them on his RC8 said that they are top quality

I've got the Gilles VCR reasets, you just loosen one bolt and adjust away!

Heres my thread about them viewtopic.php?f=1&t=13531

I have dynamic precision rearsets




On the bike. No chicken strip comments necessary guys as this pic is a good 2 years old and I promise they are long gone. Yum yum, chomp, slurp

I'm pretty happy with the rearset adjuster plates, you get the same level of adjustment apart from moving the lever stubs they just don't look as pretty and the footpegs fold up.

Those flyhammer don't appear to have any adjustment for footrest position so I wouldn't like that at all.

My favourite rearsets at the moment and one of the cheapest are the PP tuning rearsets, all spare parts are available and i prefer when the levers use the footpeg location as the axle as the levers then follow the line of the foot better in use, not that I'd probably notice but that's just my logic, the down side of that is that you have to relocate the master cylinder.

There's a place on ebay that are always discounting them every other week and then put them back up, so if your interested find em on ebay and keep your eye out for when they reduce the price.



What I'm really waiting for though is the motohooligan rearsets, he's designing them to work with the std bolt patterns and fittings, heelguards etc so you can just replace parts or your whole lever set for his nice machined ones, they are work in progress though.

Have a look at the Attack sets,,,,,,,,,believe they have a folding peg option,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I have the Attack sets and they are great. Good adjustabiliy and they have a reverse shift kit you can get too.

I have the KTM Powerparts rearsets, I won them on Ebay recently, brand new, £230. I'm slightly worried about damaging them though as I can't see anywhere where you can get replacements parts. Does anyone know if KTM sells spares for these?

I have the PP tuning set and I rate them very good.
All parts supplied even the replacement rear brake hose.
There is the need to fit this as the rear brake master cylinder needs to be repositioned. Once you done this you never need to touch this again as it will move with the peg if you need to adjust them again. You need some mechanic skills to fit the hose and bleed the brake.

Also had to reuse some of the original gear rod adjusters to make it fit for me (use locktite on the rods after adjusting the gear lever)

All by all very good besides these little niggles especially the price!

The Attack rear sets are the best I've seen so far and work great.

One thing to consider. The Rizomas, KTM Hard Parts and few others do not require you to relocate and bleed your rear MC. This was a factor for me...ease of installation.

Almost bought Attacks until I realised all the effort required for installation.

I just changed the pegs for DHM items.

John, the Attacks bolt up in place, no need to move the rear brake.
