Title: Where to buy rearsets for an 02 Suzuki GS 500??
Post by: vintagephil on May 10, 2011, 11:15:45 AM
Just bought a nice 02 GS500, I want to set it as a racebike.cafe racer, I've been looking everywhere for reaset footpegs for the GS500 nobody seems to have them or sell them (woodcraft says they used to have them but stoped making them)  Where can I find reasets for my 02 GS500?  or what will fit from other bikes like sv650's or gsxr's??   :dunno_black:

Gimbel fits and is available.
Raask is also available.
Clubman no longer available.

The Raask is about 3" farther (further?) up and back from stock. Gimbel is an additional 1.25" up & back.

You can see the "U" mount for the stock peg (or the LSL replacement pegs) then on the left you can see the mounting holes for the peg on the Raask and the Gimbel. The holes on the right are the mounting screws. The hole in the lower center is for the brake pedal on the stock and the Raask. Gimbel mounts the brake lever to the peg.

buy any high end gsxr rearsets and make a set of jack plates....drill more holes to make it look cooler
