Rearset Owner Question

[archimedio]

Q for those of you that have rearsets on your Hyper.

I've always done rearsets on all my bikes. I like my feet up and back relative to stock on most every bike, even on the street, and don't like worrying about clearance on the track. Decided I'm probably going to track my Hyper and do suspension work, and it obviously needs rearsets. Concern is how they will feel on this bike. When I sit on the bike, it just feels like rearsets will be wonky on this bike given the riding position.

For those of you that have already done this, do you like the riding position or does it feel odd on this bike?

Would like some input before I drop this much coin on a set of rearsets.

I bought the DP pegs which slot right into the stock rearsets. Had the effect of lifting my feet slightly upwards, and bringing back about an inch. Best part, is that I can now push forward on them so I'm not hanging on the handlebar during acceleration. They were only 100$ or so.

Alexio, don't you mean Shifttech? Or does DP make something I don't know about.

But those don't move the shift/brake levers up, do they? Don't you still touch the shift lever down in hard cornering?

i still grind the gear / brake lever on my woodcrafts! still getting my toe down with them maxed out and my toe on the end of the peg!! love it!!

that reminds me, if i keep the bike i must change to reverse shift! its hard to knock a gear up on tight lefts as i can't get my foot under the shift!

anyway, in answer to the question the woodcrafts are ok, prob the most radical position of all the pegs right on the swingarm bolt. at the track i tend to ride more sportsbike style than motard as the bike is too heavy at speed. my arse is on the ridge on the race seat and my bars are forward and up compared to stock.

Yeah the levers don't move. Still touch for me occasionally.I installed the Shifttech pegs to make room for big feet. They were cheap, relatively, and I don't track my bike...yet.

guess they were... I bought them from ST but thought they were DP. shows how much I know. What I DO know is that I found them to be the perfect solution for my needs. small shift up and back, not "hanging on" anymore, and cheap for what they do.

I'm running Sato rearsets with the footpegs set about 30mm up and back from the stock location. Also increased rear ride height and dropped the forks in the triple clamps a bit. Doesn't feel strange but then I'm used to riding dirt and supermoto bikes. I'm not a racer or trackday fanatic so maximizing lean angle is not all that critical to me but more adjustment is available if needed. I'm in San Jose, if you want we can meet and you can sit on my bike.

I am running Woodcraft rear sets. They are perfect especially since I do alot of track riding with my Hyper (control riding). A couple other great features is the ability to change from standard to GP shift and you can buy single replacement parts like all Woodcraft items. The only draw back is you loose the passenger pegs but that is easily overcome by getting a set of Rizoma passenger pegs, they simply mount to the subframe.

A+++++ in my book.
