HELP I F-ing hate the stock rear sets

[dgmontoya]

the stock rear sets drive me nuts. not only are they ugly but the damn nipple on the end kills my feet on long runs. what do you guys recommend for the and inexpensive replacement. i have seen all the fancy cool ones, but i want something comfortable and affordable and i could live with half as ugly as the stock ones.

PS - why are they called rear sets?

I replaced mine with the Suz TL1000R pegs. Direct replacement, looks

 better, lowers your foot 1/2" (I know this doesn't sound like much, but believe me, it is

) , feels better and is MUCH more comfortable. I think  

they cost around $70.00, and took me about 20 min to switch out. Of course, I'am slow at mechanical things

where did you get them and any pics would help

i swapped to these after I broke a stocker whippin the bike into a curb; easy 5-minute install uses same spring just remove/replace

from Pro Tek i think?? cant remember.
they're collecting dust in my garage soooo-$50 would put them on your doorstep, if you can deal with Red anodised pegs

in case you were curious-rockin the Vortex adjustables now

you can change the look of the stocks a little, but aftermarket is the way to go.
I have the buell pegs, chrome rearset and aftermarket (ebay) shifter/brake pedal

+1 on the tl peg's.I got mine from here from a member for 15$ shipped.You can look on e-bay for them.I don't have any pic's but trust me they look 1000% better then stock.

Rear sets becasue the I believe they are consider the rear control sets and the front control sets are the handle bars.

Those are what I want, black ones.

Bout $320-$340 I believe.
I hate that little lip on the end of the stock footpeg, what is the theory behind that I wonder.

Guess if my foot was 2 inches wide, it would help hold it on the peg maybe.

TL1000 pegs made a big difference for me. I can now ride over 700 miles in a day and love every second of it. It's not as costly as getting rearsets either.

"PS - why are they called rear sets?"

Because the set your feet in a rearward position compared to the stock components.

Back in the old cafe racer days in England fitting clipons or clubman bars to a standard british bike necessitated "rear set" pegs so as not to fold your body too much. They also increased ground clearance.

[dgmontoya]

oh one other thing. i am going to mod the pegs myself but i am a lil confused on the pin. does it need a sleeve or am i drilling the buell peg larger?

 

[BigDiesel]

cant help you on that one, but the SEARCH button is your friend

I'd recommend going with GSX1300-T's footpegs. Great workmanship, no hassle.

Heres info on it;
