can aftermarket rearsets be adjusted so they are further back for a more aggressive seating position? if so, how drastically?

I would think so, Z can answer that. But your aggressive seating position will be normal seating position for me. But I am used to riding stock one. So probably feel uncomfortable... I just hate having my knee getting hot though

Depends. Some are fixed at 1" up and 1" back like the Woodcrafts. Others that you find can be fully adjustable at a larger rate.
Talked to a youngkid about them at the dealership. Thought it would make him a better rider. But you could tell it would be for tooling around for show around the city. I would say be a aggresive rider first, then splurge the cash to any benefit out of them.

I agree with this much. They are adjustable. The whole tooling aorund aspect... Aftermarket Rearsets are made to raise the pegs so that when in an aggressive lean the pegs don't scrap the ground and have the possibilty of causing an accident, broken ankle from foot dragging or peg catching something on the asphalt and causing a low-side etc.

this all depends on what rearsets you get.... the ones i have are not adjustable, the are just ligther, and has mounted pegs rather than pivot...

however alot of rearsets are adjustable several inches in different directions, i would say the most adjustable ones i know of are gilles... but your going to pay out the ace for something like that



when i say out the ace im talking like 500 bucks for gilles lol a little high if you ask me but hey they are the best
