Default Aftermarket footpegs / rearsets

I'm throwing a new lease of life at my SV. So far, I have had the carbs done, a new clutch cable and worm drive mechanism bit, new headrace bearings, new springs and new fork oil. I shall soon have a new hagon rear shock in the rear and loadsa grease on the bearings.

One thing I really dont need, but would love, are some nice footpegs. Preferably some adjustable ones, that I could make lower for longer journeys or higher if and when I decide to go on track. What have people changed their standard equipment footpegs for on here?

Its a pipeline idea, not essential (I am gonna see what I can do with the front brakes after the suspension is sorted) but somewhat desirable

I'd love some too, but I've found my high level can is in the way My only options are up & down. People seem to recommend the lowering plates.

Will you be leaving the top box on for that?

I'll try, and go for the "lost courier" look


Lowering plates would be the nice and practical cheap option....but I want a set of finely produced footpegs, that little bit of machining beauty on an otherwise pretty average loking motorcycle. The keener-eyed folk who might glance at my bike for longer than 5 seconds before laughing at the topbox may well catch glimpse and thus think "hmm...tasty"

yes, I would like some purely for the show factor

£100+ for someone to go
'ahhh there's an otherwise pretty average looking motorcycle, heh top box too..ooooh wait, fancy, a set of finely machined rearsets - I wonder what sort of a tasteful, good looking young man owns such a....oh yeah top box...ha!'


Nah wish I could justify them/get them to fit.

Just cable tie it to master cylinder bracket. Or get a pressure switch.

I have some TechG ones which are near exactly the same as the GBmotos, really good kit. Worth it just for the ballbearing levers. Feels horrible to ride a stocker now with a floppy gearchange!
