So I am about to undertake either a f3 rearset coversion or the $17 peg conversion. I don't know how much if any the f3 lowers the pegs but one rider who is 6'5" likes it(!!!) Mk1inCali, I think

It looks like the $17 ebay specials will drop the pegs 3/4".

But I might have a line on CBRF3 rearsets for $85. Is that a good deal? Will it drop the pegs? Should I just get the cheapo pegs.

I need something with more legroom soon. And I can't afford a new bike.

The cheap pegs drop it a small amount but not too much it seems.

Ineedanap is that your sunfire in the background of your pic? Is it a GT?

F2/F3 rearsets will raise the pegs 1 inch and move them back about 2 inches. 

That's a sunfire SE named red-a-licious.  We bought it for $1 from a family member, drove it for 2 years, and sold it last month for $1 to another family member.  So far four different people in my family have owned the car and it just won't seem to die.  Great car!

If you're looking for more legroom, the rearsets are probably the wrong way to go, they'll make you feel more cramped. I definitely want to get some of the cbr rearsets someday, but I just put the gsxr pegs on and want to try them out for a little while first. I also just did the clipons under the top clamp, but haven't really gotten to try them out yet.

Ooh, and from what I've seen on the cbr forsale forum, they usually sell for $90 shipped or so, so $85 sounds about fair.

cool. $17 eBay specials next. If that isn't what I want, then I will mod the pegs with an extension next.

Sweet Nap I got a 99 Sunfire GT vert. Her name is Sunshine though! But, man that 2.4l engine sure does sound good in that little car and the dual exhaust sounds nice too. I just gotta find a new top for ole girl and she'd be awesome blossom again. Stupid burglars!
