PP Tuning Rear Sets

[Bluepete]

Very nice! Out of interest, can you lower the footpeg position compared to the standard? I am 6"2', mostly legs and could do with a bit more space. Clearance not too much of an issue as I am too scared to try to get my knee down...
On the other hand, is there any way of safely raising the seat height?

Ooh, I like them. I dont need rearsets, I just like the black, It would make my Black frame look so much better.

Does the new K6 in black have black pillion footpegs and hangers?

I'll try to get anwers to questions regarding fitting & peg positions, etc. when I try them on Friday.

Oooh I likes those... *adds to shopping list*

Be interested how you get on with them too, where would you get a hydraulic switch for em ?

Hi Pete,
I'm 6'3" so have similar trouble, James let me have a sit on his bike at the Guildford meet a couple of weeks ago (he had Gilles rearsets), it did seem to make a big difference to the position of my legs.
Although the footpegs are effectively a bit higher than standard, they are significantly further back which means my knees sat lower.
It also meant my toes pointed more downward which should stop my annoying habit of resting the top of my toe against the underside of the gearlever.

I'd definitely like a set (and would probably go for the PP's since they're 100 quid cheaper).

After a day and a half, finally got the damn things fitted!

It wasn't the fault of the rear sets, it's Suzuki's famous cheese bolts: getting the master cylinder free from the old footrest involves drilling the bolt heads off and using grips to twist the rest of the bolt out. This worked for one but the other was so seized I resorted to trying (and failing horribly!) to drill the bolt out. Thankfully a local shop was able to put me onto 'a man' who could fix such problems - at the w/e and for a good price. Anyway, following a lot of pain, they're now fitted.





I got the hydaulic switch from JHS (helpful as always) although it's going to need some surgery as the cable isn't long enough.... I think DemonTweaks also do them, though good luck in working out what size is needed: apparently Suzuki randomly change between 2 sizes! I only got the correct one because James had a spare K4 master cylinder hanging around.

As far as working correctly goes, they fitted my K4 fine (not officially supported according to the PP website). However, with the high-level pipe, the bottom two rear-most settings are not practical because the lever would have to be angled down too much to avoid fouling the pipe - you can see in the pic. an extra mounting hole for the master cylinder. In theory, this could be removed.

I've got them set on the most extreme setting and it feels good. Probably moves the pegs about 20/25mm up & back.

They look really sweet. Even better in the flesh than in the piccies.

If ou have issues with bolts that need drilling out etc. I can recommend Steve at Piston Broke. If he can't fix it no one can.
