FJR Rearsets?

bergs · Jun 27, 2008

Is there a source for FJR-specific rearsets? I searched the intraweb and only found replacement footpegs (which aren't rearsets).

By "rearset", I mean the entire bracket the raises the footpeg position up and back and is sometimes adjustable.

If there are in fact none available, how much interest do you suppose there is to have some custom made?

My question is based on the fact that I'm hitting the pegs every time I ride this thing. This bike itself has much more handling on tap and I want to find a way to allow the chassis to truly sing in the twisties....[SIZE=8pt]and I'm also thinking about a trackday just for fun[/SIZE]

Nope. None. If you find some, you'll prolly be sainted and knighted. Have you looked at Vario pegs?

If you're just touching the pegs down, then you can remove the peg feelers on the bottom of the pegs and gain a bit more clearance. Or you could adjust your riding style to keep the bike more vertical in the turns. If you're at the limit of the FJR's turning ability on the street, with proper cornering technique, then you really need to take it to the track.

Removing the feelers or replacing the pegs isn't gonna do it for me. I'm talking about an entire relocation of the pegs.

FWIW; I do "take it to the track" but not the FJR...not yet anyways...

Sainted and knighted, eh? I kinda like the sound of that...
