I already know im buying clipons and rear-sets, this bike just wasnt made for a 6'2" guy with 34 inseam.  Im going to go with woodcraft clip ons i think, however, i have no idea where to start with the rear sets.

I know woodcraft has em, but ive heard they are kind of a pain in the ass as far as modificatios go.  what are my other options, not too worried about cost, i mean i dont want something crazy expensive but woodcraft cost is fine. 

thanks yall

I've got the woodcrafts.  They are exactly plug and play.  No modifications neccessary, unless you want to run the brake light switch for the rear brake from them, then you just need to use a twist tie to hold the housing.... If you want, I'll take pictures.

or install a pressure switch, only about $15. Got 'em on 2 bikes.

and the rear break spring....they dont have a peg to mount that....and you might need to extend your shift lever. But I still love mine :)

so im wrong on the woodcrafts then? easy? everything works? I want to do it with out losing any of the stock functions, including back brake. what is involved in the shift lever, anyway to make it 1st up, 5 down instead of vice versa? last one isnt a big deal just think its neat. I love the look of the woodcrafts by the way.

I never had a problem without the return spring.

If you want to run GP shift, you will need a GSXR peg, shift pedal, rod and splined joint.

you're crazy. mine has a peg for that.  My shift lever worked out just fine too, then again, I wear a size 11.
