so ive been riding for about a week now on my new 07, and i absolutely hate the stock pegs, I find that the brake is awkwardly too close to the bike in my opinion, so am debating rearsets.
Is this a common opinion or am i missing something here. Debating on just bending it out a bit, but are rearsets worth the money
also, opinions on best route? i know woodcraft and vortex are some common ones, but are the offshore ones not worth it, considering theyre half the price
Rear sets will definitely be worth the $$ because some are adjustable.. adjust height/ride position to better suit your style..Seen alot of "cheap" rear sets through out ebay for $cheap$.. but from China.. also seen broken rear sets from the slightest tip (bad quality, but you save $) :retard:
Diablo Rearsets... comes with LIFETIME WARRANTY! :+1:
originally thought about Sato rearsets, most of my buddies that does track ALL have this.. but the LIFETIME WARRANTY sold me! plus they look alot similar & I don't really know of anyone with them..
wow i actually love those, they are small, and super clean
have you used them yet? im only used to stock position, would the change be that drastic, or is it full adjustable so i can get the hang of them
im also 6'2 and feel like the pegs are awkward, i want them coated black eventually, but since im not liking them at all i think the best route would be rearsets
nah.. haven't received them yet.. I "just" ordered them.. I'll be getting the black Gen II version once they are done! Yeah.. I'm 5'9 and I noticed the awkwardness too.. feels like the CBR was designed for shorter people? I feel that the pegs are more forward than others (causing more bend @ the knees)
bang for the buck the Vortex are nearly unbeatable. For high end rearsets with the most adjustability check out the Driven Racing, but they do cost a bit more. Super adjustable though. Both are made in the US which makes replacement parts very easy to come by.
I have Vortex and love them man. They are so adjustable to whatever suits you. Well worth the money. I've had no problems with them. Just make sure to use some loctite.

Hate to brag, but I just got a set of the Lightech Track System Rearsets for $250. So far, I LOVE the way they feel - going to ride with them on Sunday and will post a review soon.
You've only been riding motorcycles for a week, or you've been riding for awhile, but you have only had the CBR for a week? If it's the former, I would keep the stock rearsets. It just takes awhile to get used to the seating position. If it's the latter, I recommend Woodcraft. They're pricy, but worth it.
ya its the latter, had an 08 ninja 250r for 3 years, this is my first supersport, love it to death but the pegs just seem really awkward, especially the brake position, just messes with my balance at slow speeds, and especially stopping
someone needs to make a set of rear sets where the peg can fold or break off in a down. on my 05/06 the impact came down so hard the peg didn't break off but bent the frame mounting hole when the rearset hit the ground. plus. if it folds it can minimize some tumbling if it hooks up into the ground
There are quite a few brands that have foldable pegs - Lightech being one of them (but they're an extra $80 ). I think the new Driven one's have the option of foldable pegs too.
What I really wish is that Vortex would make foldable "street" pegs that aren't as grippy (but still grippier than OEM) so they can be used for daily riding and can easily be swapped for track/serious riding. That would be the best bang for our buck.
On the other hand, I've heard of stories where the bike's case covers didn't get damaged because the pegs kept the bike from contacting the ground as the bike slid.
I don't know if many of them will put the brake lever much further from the peg. I have vortex which I like but the stock felt fine as far as brake position. Then again, I only touch the rear brake to keep from rolling at a stop.
^^ Even though this is an old thread....I'm glad someone (fallingbomb) answered the OP's original question. Many rearsets including aftermarker are not going to bring the brake pedal further from the bike.
Aftermarket rearsets will help with comfortable but they are also designed to be more (sturdy,adjustable,peg traction,lighter,smoother/precise and give more ground clearance)
