Title: Rear Sets, Please School Me....
Post by: Fry on November 03, 2010, 04:58:53 AM
O.K. I'm getting to the point were I need to clean, paint and detail my rider pegs and hangers and got to thinking about rear sets, speciffically the woodcraft ones.

I bought some serrated, black anodized replacement pegs for my stk. hangers and can live with that look and feel but am curious about some options that may be out there.

Can anyone post up pics and specifics about rear sets from the after market and other bikes that will fit, so I can see what I want to do?

Thanks guys.

Woodcraft: not available unless we were to place a minimum of 6 orders with them (I asked, they are out of stock and would have to make new ones, minimum quantity to do a production run)

Tarozzi: Don't fit even though they advertise they do (have 2 sets and wasted $$$ unless they come up with a solution)

Gimbel: Work great. Only mod is to shorten shaft on rear master cylinder. Everybody that rode Junior loves them. Suzuki tech's said the Gimbel solo seat is a good thing as it keeps you from sliding back on the seat since you are now leaning more forward. There are lots of pics with Gimbels on the board and the photo gallery of Junior and other's bikers (See thread http://gstwins.com/gsboard/index.php?topic=54144.0)

Raask: Don't know. Have heard both good and bad but never bought any.

The gimbel sets don't fold back, do they?

My set does not, but check with them. It might be an available option.
They have passenger pegs that fold.

If they must fold, i think the only ones available are Raask, but Gimbel might fold (You'll have to explore that one)

I have seen sv650 ones used, and it looked very clean. I'm sure I found the picture on the wiki, look on there.
