Non-sponsor marketing removed. If you want to solicit a group by for a non-sponsor product, please work through one of the many excellent BadWeB sponsors to do so. Perhaps one that already carries that brand would be a good choice. Thanks for understanding, Blake (Message edited by blake on December 05, 2009) |

excuse my ignorance, but what do these do again? |

These replace the stock footpegs and mounts with some that are (in theory) lighter, stronger, adjustable (up and back for the track) and look better because they are machined and anodized. They also allow for the reversed GP shift pattern popular on the track. Here are some examples from Twinmotorcycles http://www.twinmotorcycles.nl/webshop/index.asp?gu id=YXHFSC&cid=109&a=&s= |

ahhhh gotcha. I have seen these before, but for some reason the name 'rearsets' wasn't clicking |

Following that link, I see Twinmotorcycles already sells a set of them for the 1125's, including the option for a reverse shift. What would be the advantage of Woodcrafts? |

I am a little worried that they spelled Buell wrong and the motor displacement is not 1175. I am thinking get those things right and then I will believe in the drawing but well what else can I say. |

Better price, American made, more vendor support is good. Yes, I would be interested. (Message edited by freight_dog on December 05, 2009) |

where in the drawing did they misspell the name? zoom in - two 'L's also - woodcraft is a well known name that makes great products dont let a little mistake like 1175 push you away from the brand |

Any idea if it uses the stock pegs or not? The freespirits ones that Twinmotorcycles sells look like they replace the pegs with round pole thing. |

I see that now thanks. Well as long as the company is reputable I guess they are fine. I saw a guy crash last year cause of aftermarket rearsets they didn't fold up kicked his back wheel up and bang he hit the guardrail guy was fine but a 9 something Ducati or 1098 or something like that pretty machine was pretty wrecked. I am not a fan of them so I really shouldn't comment anyway |

If anyone buys rearsets and wants to sell their stock left side rider footpeg bracket, please let me know. |

Froggy, yes there are some available following the link, but they are much more expensive. The price listed is Euros. I don't think they fold up but I think that is what is required for racing, I could be wrong on both accounts. Moving them up should help keep them from dragging. |

Woodcraft rearsets are commonplace on race bikes. |

Grandstand designs carries Woodcraft stuff already for the XB's, it should be no issue to get Pete involved with this. |
