Rearset recommendations?

id have to agree, theyr very sturdy and feel solid

I'm happy with my Valtermoto rearsets....then again...they're still in a box waiting to go on

I have Valter Moto fitted too, their type 1's. They aren't adjustable, and don't like crashing very much either, but they are pretty good for £170.

I bought some other rearsets on ebay before the season started, but they don't fit with the K3 rear subframe. (See 'For Sale' Section if interested.)

thanks

There must be more lean available in that bike then , I've grounded out a set of race rear sets on a few occasions and they are much higher than stock pegs. In fact last time I did it I ended up on my ar$e at 80mph ....actually, that pic in my avatar was one or two laps before it happened on teh very same corner.

Two questions:
1. Can the pegs be positioned lower than the stock ones?
2. Will the brake lights still work or are these rearsets mainly for use on track?

With the GB Motos the low setting is still notably higher than stock on the S (which I think would be relatively higher still on the N). I'm 6'4" though and still don't find it an issue for rides of a few hours.

You will need a brake pressure sensor banjo to activate the brake light. It's very easy to install, just cutting the wires to the original and splicing in the new one in place. I got one direct from GB Moto for (I think) and extra £10 maybe.

Hel do the same switch for a few quid IIRC

i got a goodridge brake switch

and my GB moto rear set adjuster plates have been swaped over and fliped over so they are even lower than the low setting because i have fat legs and found them wayyy to high on the low setting with the plates the original way round

you will need a custom length rear brake line (for the k3 any way)

The connecting bar lets you have infinite adjustment of the height of the gear lever. Doesn't the standard have a connecting bar that works the same way?

^ k3+ has the conection adjuster as standard
