Somebody has decided to come out with some folding-peg reasets for our SFs:

"Finally"!?!?!

I've had Lightec rearsets since I bought my bike new! In fact had to buy several sets of folding toe pegs for replacements as a result of turn 4 at one of the local tracks. (Scrapes easily if you get low enough) But yeah, Lightec has had them for a while now. Spendy, but really nice and well made.

Folding and non-folding are both available. However, keep in mind when ordering the folding rearsets, they don't include the folding toe pegs. You have to order the folding toe pegs separately, unfortunately.

Moreover, even those rearsets posted above don't look like they come with folding toe pegs either. Be sure to order folding toe pegs too as you'll be far better off if you get into too much lean angle, or a crash.

Last note, the Lightec set also has pegs that are far more gnarled than the ones posted above.

+1098...they not only look good, but they are ergonomic as well with the custom heel guard included, providing that way a complete solution...

one company made these heel guards, i had bought one from moto-wheels but then it was discontinued and couldnt find it anywhere on the internet.
this is very close to that...

thanks JDW great find...

Those look very nice. Are you buying a set jdw? If you do, can you give us a review?

They look great but I didn't see a place to buy them or a price.

Thanks, this is what happens when I don't spend much time surfing/shopping on the net.....wasn't aware of those other brands.

I had a pair of Metaltechs on my 848, which were brilliantly well made and robust units (and yes I got to "test" them) and would swear by them (as used by Jakob Smrz and co):

- except that the company haven't as yet come out with a set for the SF......then i saw these RacingBike Italy folding sets and, hence "finally" (...I "found" some folding rearsets).

Call it self-discovery....

sputs, I'm pretty sure you said you didn't like the ducabike rearsets.

JDW, these look very nice. You gonna buy them?
