Re: New Rear Sets for our FZR's
Nice looking units, decent price. Well worth the extra tenner for the folding option IMO, but alas, as usual, nothing for the Ace.
Re: New Rear Sets for our FZR's
I bought some of these for a YZF750 a while back. They stuck out a lot and scraped badly. See pic below.

I like the strategically placed chair. One need to be able to sit, ponder, and admire, whilst enjoying a beverage

Used to be my smoking chair. Now I have given them up I can't sit in that chair any more, makes me want to light up to help with the ponderinglike the strategically placed chair
Whilst I was using dangerous levels of lean angle when I had these on they still stick out too farI've heard of draggin the back brake around corners

Re: New Rear Sets for our FZR's
Hey Spook,
If there is enough interest in these put forth, I'm down for at least one set for sure, are the 750 & the 1000 the same btw?, I'd be more than happy to do a group buy on them. 'lessn' of course you'd like to do so, don't want to step on your toes is all.
You don't race your ace though Jon, so I'd think you'd just need a set for you 750 yeah, or no?
Cheers, let me know

Yes Yes I know, I said, I'm building a project YZF1070
Basement is done now, 850 finished and gone...
Gotta get the new siding up on the house.
Fixing the FZ1 up, cleaning up garage and then I might even begin

Re: New Rear Sets for our FZR's
I don't? Hmm, d'you know something I don't? Like what 750 are you talking about?sickle44 wrote:You don't race your ace though Jon, so I'd think you'd just need a set for you 750 yeah, or no?
The Ace pegs and 750 pegs are not compatible, and I've removed my rearset adaptors as they were too drastic and I couldn't actually move any further off the bike as I was sitting on my heel and crushing my toes while I still needed to move over more, so they didn't work out. Compared to a lot of other makes out there, the price is tempting, but not for me.

Re: New Rear Sets for our FZR's
That's actually 53 degrees of lean by my calculations
Bike making contact at those angles would just about lift the rear wheel contact patch off the ground...

Re: New Rear Sets for our FZR's
Hmm Lean=Risk. Looks like moving your body over will get you less lean for the same corner speed, or same lean with more corner speed.
There's a reason this guy is waaaay faster than me, and it's not because he's on a Honda,
it's cuz he weighs 1/2 what I do,
no wait,
there's a difference in talent too. And riding style. Oh, and age. Disposable income, hmmm, never mind, you'll see what I mean.

Re: New Rear Sets for our FZR's
Yep figured that out after I fell over a couple of times. Move my arse a bit more nowHmm Lean=Risk. Looks like moving your body over will get you less lean for the same corner speed, or same lean with more corner speed.

Re: New Rear Sets for our FZR's
You and me both Jon, everytime I thought I was getting right over and just hovering my knee off the deck, Duke22 would point out that I was still inches away - mind you, I still beat him in the championshipHaha, not just your arse.

Re: New Rear Sets for our FZR's
I thought it was a 750 you raced Jon? Oh well. show's what I know.
I believe CBR 954 rearsets are supposed to bolt on to the FZR's or YZF's think it was the 1000 can't remember
