I am new to the sportbike world, so forgive me if this is an elementary question. The F4i I just bought has Vortex rearsets (not adjustable). What is the benefit of these over stock pegs? Is it more/less comfortable than stock? Thanks.

 

Quick answer: Allows for a tighter riding position and helps prevents peg scraping while cornering. If you don't ride it hard, rearsets probably aren't needed. Track bike, definatley need. And are probably less comfortable.

 

Thanks. I just use mine for a commuter so I'll probably trade mine off for stock pegs.

 

I have some stock rearsets with aftermarket pegs. The rearsets I have were just bought new from honda like 3 months ago and look brand new. If you want to get rid of the Vortex rearsets let me know and we could work out a trade. Im wanting rearsets for my f4i.

 

Aftermarket rearsets normally put the pegs higher up and farther back, allowing more cornering clearence. I just have plates that move the stockers back and up 1" [in each direction] and they work great but are also not adjustable.

 

That would be cool. Do we have to swap the brake lever, shifter and rod too?

 

Yea we would otherwise the rod would be too long for the stock pegs. Send me some pics when you can and Ill send you some pics of mine as well. My chain broke today so I have to go get my bike tomorrow sometime and then Ill get some pics. (bike is locked up at work, no worries)

 

If interested please let me know. My chain broke and tore up my undertail along with the sprockets. So Im going to have my bike torn apart for a week or so and Now would be a good time for me to remove the rearsets if you were interested in a trade.

 

My Woodcraft rearsets also sort of worked as frame sliders when I went down. My fairings don't look like it lowsided at 30-40 because of them. Also prevented my rear fairing from cracking from the impact.

 

Interesting... Ive always wondered if the fixed pegs would help with that or not.
