So I am getting my bike ready for the track next spring. And the stock pegs location kinda sucks for the track.
I have been looking at a set of rear sets for some time but cannot afford them on my budget.

So I decided to make my own rearset adpated that would move the stock pegs back and up 1".

Sorry about the shitty photography but its dark on my pourch(poormans garage)

Check it out.

...That's really clever.

Aluminum? If my bike gets totaled it goes strictly to track duty, which means this may come in handy.

Yeah AL6061-T6  .250" thick, used some scaps left over from my work

hell yea good idea for the poor-men!!!!!  I  cant tell if you did in your pics, but i put my passenger pegs on my rear sets, their a little less bulky..

Actually if you got scraps I'd do it a bit differently and carve a new plate.  The GS pegs are simple...just reuse them.  Then you can whip up some spifalicious carvin' and stuff.

I like to make mine out of steel anymore...lol...it's cheaper and I break too damn many of them...

How's that going to affect your shifting...or do you have another shift lever in the works?

Maybe you've just got a long foot? 

Neat work!

You laugh, but I might consider doing something like that.  I wear size 15 shoes.

...only because you need to extra insulation to keep your size 8 feet warm.

I live in Florida, remember?  I ride in shorts and flip flops!

It gives me extra "feel" so I can shift better and ride better than anybody!  Gear is for wimps!  RIDE NAKED!

I'm much smarter than that.

I wear special KEVLAR shorts and flip flops, designed just for riding. With swooshy colorful logos on them.

Coming from you, this statement is fuggin' hilarious.

coll - Mill? I need to get my shop certification so I can use one.

I wear 10 1/2 riding boots, so I can still get to the shifter pretty easily. In fact one of the reasons I did this is because I have trouble getting my toe under lever sometimes, it is just a bit cramped.

Alpha- I actually just used a band saw to cut it out, then I took it to a belt/circular sander and finally drilled the holes by hand. You dont have to be dead on since the stock holes are .040" over the diameter of the bolt anyways.

I am actually working on my own rearsets, I have been desgining them and got a quote of $300 for one set, but if you make 10 then they are only around $80. Buy you would have to buy WoodCraft pegs at $25 a pop, so it really isn't finacially reasonable. That is why I decided to do this.

For those wo couldn't tell I used a simple bracket that attaches to the stock rearset, but the actual rearsets are mounted 1" up and 1" back.

I really can't take total credit for it since Dygver posted about 1 1/2 years ago about how to do the same thing

It's similar to a caliper spacer that Supermoto guys use to move the caliper out for the bigger rotors.

Good to see that you got something that works. 
I used similar ones on my TLR for several years. I made them to see if I liked the new peg location and never took them off.

As a sidenote for others....I looked at making adjustable plates for the stock GS rearsets. The left side was an easy fit but the right side had a problem hitting the pin for the return spring.

neat'o i want some

dgyver is the source of all of the clever mods around here.  He's the one that told me that the Katana rear wheel would fit the GS.

I heart dgyver.

I have plenty more that I have not posted about. 
Then there are the ideas that did not work. 

But do not blame me for money spent. 

hmmm.... could you flip the brackets over to the other side of the bike to get an inch of drop on the pegs? That would be great for those of us with longer legs. coll0412, you interested in selling a set?
