We're 2, maybe 3 inches here. Not half a foot. You're SUPPOSED to be up against the tank; that's why it's shaped like that.

Either way, the pegs don't have much to do with your knee position. They're just going to change the angle at which your knees and ankles bend, potentially making things more comfortable. Might want to try them out before you dump the ~$300 on them.

It moves your feet positioning back words which then would relocate your legs where they sit on the tank. Im looking to get a set soon.. They are a little pricey though..

I'm 6 foot even. And have never had a problem. If anything it's made for someone even taller.

thanks Johnny! Yog got what i was asking, lol. and i know you're supposed to be up against the tank, but my nut$ack is right on top of it, so i thought the rearsets would help move me back a little bit. even if it is just an inch ya know?

Oh, yeah. Definitely. Like I said, that 2" is a world of difference.

I think everyone needs new rearsets. The Honda ones are positioned for a 5'9" Japanese dude.
