Install of Rizoma Rearsets
Let me preface this question by stating that I'm a moron when it comes to do-it-yourselfing. I have only a few tools and even less patience.
That said, I'm thinking about buying Rizoma Rearsets and was wondering whether I could save money by doing the install myself. If its no more difficult than bolting and unbolting then I can do it.....anything more and I'd rather pay the shop.

I had a set of Rizoma rearsets for my Kawasaki and it was a straight forward bolt / unbolt job. If even I could do it, I am sure you should not have any problems!

It's easy just unbolt the 2 nuts then slide out the old shaft and slide in the new one that comes with the sliders,work from the left side first place that slider on then the right side slider on then tighten the two bolts up and done.

it also come with instructions.

Lol, it's tough though since they use stage reference, so the rearsets actually go on the front (stage rear) while the frontsets actually go on the rear (stage front). But the left and right sets use nautical reference though, as in port and starboard. You'll get the hang of it...

Appreciate the info, guys. Perhaps I'll attempt the install myself afterall. Or at least take it to a buddy's so he can do it. Duc shop witll charge an hour's labor.

Installing rearsets is no big deal unless you're really mechanically disinclined. Three warnings.
1. Make sure you locktite everything.
2. Make sure you get the shift linkage adjustment right before locktiting the adjusters.
3. The hardest part is often the brake light switch. I don't use my rear brake anyway, so I just throw that away.

It's a bit more complicated than the other models but not hard. We're in Austin too so if you need help don't hesitate to let us know.
