Title: Rearsets
Post by: platinum_black on February 26, 2009, 06:49:05 PM
I have been looking at changing my rearsets but im not sure if its possible, I notice that on the gs the gear shift leaver isnt attached to the rearsets and all of the rearsets i have looked at have them fitted, the main reason i was wanting to change them is to take my leg position back slightly. could anyone advise me to this. is it possible to have your footing position moved back?

Wow, that is a lot of holes in the sprocket cover. Every time I take my sprocket cover off, that whole area contains so much nasty crud from chain lube and all kinds of other junk. Do those holes let that crud out and onto your pants? That doesn't seem like it would be fun...
