Default Just added rear sets + more stuff

Just added my Vortex rear sets, Vortex gas cap, Pazzo levers and grips. Took off the alum. heat shield and pass. pegs and made a bracket(top) for the black plastic heat shield...turned out nice. No heat problems. Love the feel and looks!! Thanks for the help and info!!!

It's good for what it is. I never leave my bike unless it's inmy garage, so it works out for me. I like not having to take the key out when I get gas. A little grease on the threads of the gas cap makes it a lot smoother when you screw it on. Love the way it blends in with the black tank.

What's the verdict on the rear sets?
Did you gain much leg room?
Did you try them in the full forward adj?
Does it shift better than stock?

now you just need to switch the standard shift to gp and ride it like it was meant to be ridden

I have the pegs moved all the way down and all the way back. I measured the stock pegs and I gained one inch lower...I can feel it bigtime. On Pitbull rear stand from ground to top ofstock peg 18.5 inchs...17.5 with Vortex. The pegs feel solid but I can't feel any difference with the shifting smoothness. Had it in the GP setting but didn't like it. Maybe it takes more than one ride. Overall I love the look and room (I'm 6-4)!!

Thanks. Sounds like what I'm looking for. It's strange how big a difference 1" makes.Does anybody make a set wherethethe pegs still fold back?
