Reaersets question - after market ones
Im looking to get some race rearsets. I saw this pair from SES:

Can i change the footpeg to one that flips up? If so, can someone point me in the right direction

Re: Reaersets question - after market ones
They're nice rearsets and will serve you well.
You could fit hinged pegs with some minor mods to the peg mount on the hanger. They'd probably be a tad longer and hence give you less ground clearance. But...... I have to ask why? If they flip up on aftermarket rearsets, it's probably already too late and you'll be eating tarmac next.
I have hinged shifters on my rearsets that are pretty cool - less crash damage. But I don't see any advantage in having hinged pegs on raised rearsets.

I've got these sets on my bike and they are really nice! Consider giving Rick Oliver a bell as he sells these and will be able to advise, also give you a couple of options for the sets...

Re: Reaersets question - after market ones
I have to side with superlite on this.. rearsets dont' usually 'flip up' as you can't lean the bike over far enough to flip them up without crashing it. and which case some of them have plastic buttons on the end to act as sliders...Sam wrote:Im looking to get some race rearsets.
