Does anyone know how far back and up the various rear controls are?  For example, the Gimbel sets are 1 inch back and 1 inch higher than stock.  What about RAASK?  Also, I think I read somewhere that RAASK break easlily?

The Gimbels look very nice but I can't find much about them as far as quality. :dunno:

I am mainly interested in these two as they have attached controls, but any other suggestions or comments would be welcome.  
Thanks! :thumb:

I have a brand new set of Raasks rearsets.  I have not installed them and I may be selling if you are interested.  I'm in Miami, FL.

The Raasks are a good quality rearset and I know a few racers that use them and are very happy.  I have decided to go with a set of Woodcraft rearsets.  They require the shifter linkage to be extended about 1 1/4 inches.  The reason I am going with the Woodcraft is because they are made stronger and since I'm on the race track (and yes I have eaten pavement a couple of times) I want a stronger rearset for my bike.

The Raasks go back one inch and up one inch from what the tech people told me.

Take care.  Tony

Greg Gabis (think he's still on here) makes a nice set of rear sets.  You might try pinging him.

IIRC, his rear sets use woodcraft pegs but he said he could set them up for pretty much anything.

CFM/Woodcrafts are up 1-3/4" and back 1" from stock.
