tall_tracy Posted October 5, 2017 Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 How difficult a job is it to change stock rearsets to aftermarket? I'm seriously considering purchasing rearsets and installing them myself - is it as straightforward as it seems? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted October 5, 2017 Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 Easy. I will watch you do it in my garage if you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobhawkins Posted October 5, 2017 Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 Yeah, not bad at all. Follow in the instructions, my Woodcraft rearsets came with really clear pictures and instructions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

what Posted October 6, 2017 Report Share Posted October 6, 2017 hardest part is probably re-attaching shift/brake linkages, which isn't really hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to disconnect the shifter linkage on my R6 just to change the oil, it was more of a pain than anything else. I'm worried about loosening the large bolts that hold it all in place...

I actually tweaked my knee trying to get my leg out at the track because of these stupid pegs, plus the rubber on top of the peg is awful when it's wet.

That's the main bolt that holds the rearset onto the bike... definitely gonna need a breaker bar to loosen that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not I, nor Timmy, or anyone else that rides Timmy's 750 for that matter. Edit: I use my rear on the street a bunch. I'll leave that open to interpretation.
