I was planning on going with a set of those 360 cycle pirate pegs but them seem to be on back order for a while. Any other options other then these 800 plus dollar set ups from the UK ?

I run a rigid foot peg arrangement that's basically an oem mount stuck in the mill with a hole drilled to mount the footpeg.

I know of no other option.

I have a pair I think they're made by precision engineering? I'm not sure, I bought them as soon as I saw them because I wanted the reverse shift pattern.

Just got off the phone with eric as well, so I figured I would bring this thread back from the dead...I need 25 people to get this going.

I'll start the list.

Sorry haha, just noticed that only one sentence of my post went through "stupid phone"

Spoke to Eric Wood from woodcraft today and he is up for making these if we can get 25 people together.

I'm probably in, depending on cost. I'm assuming these will be around the same price as the typical set of woodcraft sets, and use the same easily (and economically) replaced parts?

Eric will also have to contend with the differences between chain and belt drive systems. On the belt drive, the rear set also supports the idle wheel.

I wonder if the new 1190 rear sets will become available?

As of right now while we try and get the people together on the woodcraft I'm going to try and source an extra set of stock rear sets and start designing something up in conjunction with my buddy from xcessive manufacturing...

In the meantime I'm just going to machine down the stock set and bolt in a solid peg prob from Vortex.

My solid pegs arrived today from Erik Buell Racing.
http://www.EBRacing.com/shop/product108.html

But, I wont have time to machine down my mounts and get them installed before the races this weekend.

...I have a rule against taking apart things that aren't broken before a race weekend. I don't need the additional stress.

I was doing some surfing, and I'm pretty sure the Erik Buell Racing pegs are made by Woodcraft.



Thanks!
We're hoping the weather will shape up a bit though.

These are nice but pretty pricey.

By the time those make it to the US they would be close to (if not over) $1,000. That's a pretty hard price to imagine paying for rearsets.

Especially tracking the bike...And not to mention the fact that they are not adjustable so pretty much worthless.

They are adjustable, the footpeg is on a concentric.

But, I still wouldn't say they are a very practical choice. Let alone the high initial purchase price, but needing to have spares, and any damage would relegate you to sitting in the pits, nobody will have parts to get that working again.

Concentric pegs are usually pretty adjustable but these seem to be more like cam type adjust ability. Maybe a .5 give or take of adjustment compared to the Gilles that are way cheaper and have 100x the adjustment. Still when wrecking You want something simple and "cheap"

also, the rear sets mount to the engine, i imagine the oem rear sets are designed to give in a wreck. If these are stronger, they could transfer the energy through and cause the rear sets to mess up the mount holes in the engine, that would be bad to say the least.
but the exhaust looks so sexy.
