That titanium exhaust colouring is just beautiful. Thanks for the video. Already have vortex rear sets but I love to listen to you talk about anything sport bike!
Thanks for watching! - Van
Congratulations on the sponsorship! Love your videos! The knowledge & experience is stellar a also, I'm SOOOOOO thankful you masked up the bike...love the satire.
Thank you for watching and for the kind words. - Van
Yes, rear sets are a must. Either way, I got, from you, the Light Techs. I got the other set. They put my feet and legs in the perfect position for my size. The handling of the bike became a lot nicer when I got my knees in the proper position. I can also hit the shifter easier once I set the height. It made my bike a lot more comfortable to ride.
Thank you for the business and I am happy to hear you like the Lightechs. I rode with them on the bike and really liked them as well. - Van
Overviews and product/ category comparisons are very helpful. Even for those of us who aren't new to the sport. I had a hard time justifying the expense of rearsets before I got them, but I gotta say, its pretty incredible how much a few cms of adjustment makes to the overall ergos of a bike. Especially on the track and in tight corners etc. Never realized just how much further I could lean my bike over til i ditched the factory pegs. Big Difference for sure!!
Thanks for the vid & congrats on the sponsorship, thats awesome!
Thanks for watching and the kind words. - Van
More vids like this. You got a lot of knowledge Van. Pass it on bro! 👊
Thank you for watching! - Van
Always enjoy your videos. Glad to be a viewer and a customer. 💖
Thank you for your support. - Van
I've had my 18 gsxr 1000R for a few months now. Definitely going to be getting a full M4 exhaust and the vortex rearsets. The previous owner has this akrapovic end can. It's cool but I'm an M4 or Yoshimura guy. Love all the gsxr videos Van. Much appreciated. I'm very proud to support your shop who promotes American made products. No cheap junk is going on this bike. Take care
Thank you for your business and for watching! - Van
Haha I was wondering why the exhaust was "tied on" - I didn't realize it was a mask.
I am just trying to keep everyone safe from the Rona. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear😂
Thank you for such a great video and info
You are welcome and thank you for watching! - Van
Thanks, ordered the Vortex based on your recommendation!
That is what we are using on our MotoAmerica bikes again this year. - Van
I had a stock rear set on a Honda FireBlade CBR954RR that totaled the bike. The bike high-sided and went into the swingarm, so insurance totaled it. It was such a sweet bike, I withdrew the claim and spent months rebuilding it so I could keep it. Might have been avoided, almost definitely, with an aftermarket set. At the time, I was only road riding as I only had my motorcycle endorsement for 3 months, so it never even occurred to me. In fact, if you asked me about ‘rearsets’ I wouldn’t have even understood the term or what you were referring to.
Good to know. I have hip pain with the oem pegs on my 06 R6. Prefer a lower (more relaxed) position
Thanks for watching! - Van
Thanks for the info. All the way from Australia
Ay man, doing iso in WA and nothing to do but watch moto videos!
You are welcome and thank you for watching! - Van
Thanks for watching! - Van
I'm glad I watched this. I've been considering getting some rearset for my cbr650.
I love everything about the bikes except the foot controls. I have bigger feet for a small giy, my feet barely fit between the footpeg and toe piece. It drives me nuts.
Happy it was helpful and thank you for watching! - Van
The one thing I liked about the OEM rearsets is how they had a slight tilt pushing our knees into the tank. I made it happen for these vortex to have that same feel
All of the pegs on the aftermarket rearsets are at a 90 degree angle to the support bracket. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear I'm loving them. Going to get some spare parts for them from you guys when there available. Thanks Van and take care
Love my Lightech rearsets on my Ninja 300.
Lightech makes great parts for sure. - Van
You guys just sent me vortex rearsets for my hayabusa 😈😈
Great company great people
Appreciate the business and the kind words! - Van
Interesting video. I assumed rearsets were fixed and non-adjustable, but I have never been on a track. I like those Italian ones.
Thanks for watching! - Van
That M4 looks good. How did you get it that purple?
That is a titanium full system. - Van
Wow..so glad I caught this vid! 6’ 245lbs and gonna be getting a hayabusa next year..love everything about that bike except the high oem rears..this is just what I needed..so which set would you say for the Busa for my height please?
We have two sets available for the Busa:
Driven TT Rearsets Suzuki Hayabusa 99-20

www.sportbiketrackgear.com/vortex-adjustable-rearsets-v2-suzuki-hayabusa-99-16/
great video, only question I have compared to stock what is the +/-. How far back, up, and down compared to where it sits stock?
This will be different from brand to brand and model to model. Some of the kits will call out the measurements for range of adjustment but not all. We try to include this in the listing if the brand publishes it. - Van
That mid pipe looks soooo sick!!!
Nothing like a full titanium pipe! - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear ahhh titanium I was thinking it was stainless. I'm sure it isn't a cheap piece of metal but you can't beat the sound of those m4 exhausts there's nothing else out the that has that m4 note to it
Great Vid, answered a lot of questions I had. I’m 167cm tall (short) and want to know which set will provide the best height adjustment for a short guy like me? I’m riding a 2010 gsxr750. Thanks.
I would look at the Vortex or the Attack for maximum range of adjustment. - Van
Would you recommend using locktite if replacing the factory shift lever on a ninja 400? It seems like it doesnt have it from the factory
If there is none from the factory there is no reason to. - Van
Would love to hear what makes the GSXR1000 is the best bike in your opinion. Great video as always!
We have a video that will explain that for you. Here is a link: th-cam.com/video/H0z3OGURX7o/w-d-xo.html - Van
I've been looking at rearsets for the past couple of days trying to decide which ones I want and if I really need them..... and then you post this video......
Hopefully you find this to be helpful. Feel free to reach out with any questions. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear I ended up ordering the Vortex kit and the HealTech quickshifter last night. Thanks for the awesome videos and great customer support 👍👏😀
Would you happen to have a picture or ever have experience with an aftermarket rear set holding up and saving an exhaust? To me, the hard rear sets will bend and be trashed and even break off compared to the factory set just bending back how they are designed and are usually still good after bike goes down?
I don't track race so I have no real world experience and wanted to know from someone like you that has this experience.. Thank you!
I have too much experience with this IMO (end of the day you race and there will be crashes). A rearset kit with fixed footpegs for sure helps to protect the bike during a crash. Personally I have never had a kit cause more damage to the bike in a fall. - Van
Any recommendations on rearrests that work well with low-profile GP style exhausts? Or do you just lose some adjustability with those type of exhausts?
Most of the exhaust systems are designed to work with the OEM rearsets. Aftermarket rearsets are designed to move the pegs up and back so there is typically no interference with GP systems that are below the rearset. - Van
I am considering getting some decent rearsets for my 2012 R6 but really not sure what to get. On my oem pegs I can lock knee/thigh into tank cut outs but feels little unsecure. I am about 5-9 but short legs for that height (inseam is roughly 31). Any recommendation based on your experience?
We are using Vortex rearsets on all of our bikes. - Van
Hi Brian , which rearsets would you recommend me for my 2020 Ducati panigale v2? Cheers
I am sorry to say I am not familiar with that bike. We do have a set from Attack Performance on the site, here is a link: www.sportbiketrackgear.com/attack-performance-ducati-v4-r-rearsets/
Hey Van, would a vortex or woodcraft rearset lineup with the graves moto 1 exhaust bracket for an r1?
Either one should work as they are designed to be compatible with the OEM exhaust. - Van
Thank you for another, very informative video. I love your mask requirement for the bike, HA! Which of the rearsets is best for someone with huge (size 13) riding boots? Thanks.
End of the day I wear a 12 US and was able to get every set of rearsets I installed to a place where I was really happy with them. - Van
Hi im 5'6 riding a bmw s1000rr, and my thighs are too low to grip onto anything. Which rear sets are better designed for shorter riders? I want to move it up at an inch
Check out the Vortex rearsets on our site. Plenty of adjustability to get the pegs where you need them. Here is a link: www.sportbiketrackgear.com/vortex?_bc_fsnf=1&Manufacturer=BMW&Product=Rearsets
Hey brian, can u guys get replacement gilles as31gt parts?
Sorry but we do not have a source for Gilles at this time. - Van
Are all these rearset brand will let you use oem rear brake hose length?
The majority of the rearset kits will work with the OEM brake line kits. The only exception I can think of is the Attack Yamaha R3. Anytime we learn of any issues like this we try to add notes to the product listing to give our customers a heads up. - Van
Hey Bro! I have a GSXR600 and am 6’, 250 pound bodybuilder and the placement of my knees with the OEM rear sets is very uncomfortable. Which set of rear sets would you say would give me the most adjustability to bring the pegs lower? Anything to get less of a kink in my knees
None of the aftermarket rearsets allow for moving the pegs lower than the factory position. Lowering the pegs would decrease the available amount of ground clearance when cornering. - Van
I need to lower and move forward the pegs on my Kawasaki Z900 2021 because I have hip pain on the longer rides. What aftermarket rearsets would you recommend for that?
Most of the aftermarket rearsets are designed to lower the pegs and move them back. I took a quick look and did not find a set that will do what you are looking for. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear Is there any way just to move them lower without moving them back?
Would you recommend fixed or foldable foot pegs? Foldable options are typically more expensive than their fixed counterpart.
Some ppl are saying that fixed footpegs dont necessarily protect the pipe and the footpeg could break off. Would love your thoughts on it!
We run fixed footpegs on all of our race bikes. Whether they break off or not really depends on the crash. I have seen the fixed peg protect the exhaust in many crashes. - Van
Hey man I ordered a set of rearsets and didn't get the gsxr 1000r I seen them on. I thought the bike was in the vacuum seal somewhere.
LOL you need to wrap the parts in one of Brandon's dirty diapers and sprinkle fairy dust to get the bike. - Van
Great video guys !!!
1 critique please don't demo against black parts on a black frame I understand your using what you have
But it can make seeing the part details hard to see as the gloss and everything blends into each other
Anyway another great video keep the great content coming
Thanks for watching! - Van
The only thing holding me back from getting them is I don't want to loose the quickshifter that comes stock on the zx6r
You will still be able to use it. I have the OEM QS on my GSXR1000 with aftermarket rearsets. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear with the vortex ones? Oh snap!!
Attack Performance is good too.
LOL at me. I should have watch another few seconds of the video to see you talk about their product!
For sure Attack is a great brand. - Van
DucatiV4r!! Is the greatest to date!
While it is a nice bike it is no Suzuki. - Van
Any recommendations rearsets for yzf-r3?
Vortex Yamaha R3 2015-2019 Adjustable Rearsets V3 2.0
www.sportbiketrackgear.com/vortex-yamaha-yzf-r3-15-17-v3-2-0-adjustable-rearsets/
May I ask you Mr. Van, why no Gilles Tooling? They make incredible rearsets, imo.
Unfortunately Gilles is not distributed here in the US so there will not be a proper level of support available after the sale. We prefer to offer parts that have a supply of replacement parts readily available in the event a customer has a fall and needs replacements. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear Ditto! Sexy European parts are great until you need a replacement and you need to wait 8 weeks because Italy is on vacation.
I can't speak as a distributor but as a consumer the level of customer service I've experienced has been absolutely spectacular. From answering my questions, to getting me a free replacement shift linkage, and even sending me a dozen decals upon request via DHL. The only thing is the shipping time of at least 6 weeks is a bit of a bummer. I'm extremely happy with my investment, it's gonna be the first thing I change on my z900 and every machine after. It was between a set of Voodoo, second hand Vortex, or Hotbodies to stay within my budget, but outta nowhere I was offered a brand new set of Gilles Tooling with a $300 discount making them only $200 so I grabbed them up and they've been perfect. The only reason I needed a replacement shift linkage was because I didn't properly tighten up the lock nut after I adjusted it a little bit, ended up throwing the rod mid ride sgd and had to strain my clutch a bit in order to make it home in 4th gear, which I did manage to do. The level of service would probably be different on a larger scale though. That also explains why I got such a smokin deal cause I couldn't figure it out until now.
@@skyusable I'm actually having a huge problem with BMC right now they're not even responding to emails it seems. Gilles is Germany so I think they weren't as effected by the Covid19 pandemic. Not too sure though
Any for a 2019 zx10 for taller riders? Thanks
Aftermarket rearsets are designed to get the rider more ground clearance as well as get the ergos dialed in to best suit the rider. There are very few if any kits that will lower the footpegs if that is what you are looking for. All of the kits will allow you to move the pegs towards the rear of the bike which will give you more room. - Van
Thanks Van
Hey Van, how much higher can the Woodcraft and Vortex rear sets go compared to stock on a 2017 GSX-R 750? I'm on the shorter side so looking to get my knees up in the cut outs on my tank. Also which would you recommend for me as I'm looking for 1-2 inches higher
The Vortex will offer a little more adjustment than the Woodcraft if you want to move them around a bit. If you are looking to put them at the highest position they will both end up in about the same spot. - Van
Thanks Van, think I'm leaning towards the woodcraft tbh. Appreciate your professional opinion 👌
With the Attack rearsets, I’ve been told for my bike (2018 Aprilia Tuono Factory) they don’t have any return (rear brake) spring or anything that allows that return. Can you confirm? I want them, but I do 99% of my riding on the street and I need my rear brake and brake light. If I get these, is it plug and play nothing else needed? Thank you.
The Attack kit does not include a return spring for the brake lever. With that said most of the rearset kits on the market do not offer this. Woodcraft offers a return spring kit you should be able to install on your master to get this done. Here is a link to this on our site:
Woodcraft Brake Pedal Return Spring

@@sportbiketrackgear thank you Van. I’m 6’ 3” and 225lbs so I must have some adjustment in my pegs or I’ll drag toes or worse. I’ll take a look at the Woodcrafts springs with Attack rear sets! Thank you!
Hahaha Van! I will race you any day of the week
I am in let's go man.
5:09 unless you have moriwaki rear sets. They’re made so damn well that when you crash the whole assembly gets twisted up and the whole thing becomes garbage. Plus there’s no support from the moriwaki company for replacement parts....
I prefer to use stuff that I can easily get replacement parts for. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear woodcraft or vortex or sato from now on. I’m surprised that Sato didn’t make your list
Do you have rearsets for 2017 ninja650?
Sorry I am not aware of any brand that offers a set of rearsets for this model. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear thanks for responding 👍
Can I still use my oem quickshifter on a ‘20 r6 with driven TT rearsets?
Pretty sure you will need a different shift rod. With that said I reached out to Driven and they are also not sure what the length of the rod would need to be. Once you get the rearsets you could take a measurement and we would then be able to help you get the correct rod. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear sweet. Is there any issues with the brake light switch? Thanks so much!!
@@sportbiketrackgear I’m stuck between these and vortex I just don’t wanna lose the rear brake light
Any word on how Sato compares to these rearsets?
Sato are awesome imo. Really solid rearsets. I think I will go back to them.
I have used Sato in the past but they do not have a realistic dealer support program so we no longer work with them. What I can tell you is the options we have here in this video have all of the bases covered and then some. - Van
Where to go to get replacement parts
We have replacement parts for Vortex on the site in the listings for the rearset kits. For any of the other brands you will need to call or email in to purchase the replacement parts. - Van
Why does absolutely no one make rear sets for 2019-22 cbr650r... big rip nothing is available for these
That model is not popular enough to support design and manufacture of rearsets. - Van
GSXR4LIFE ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Nothing better IMO. - Van
Of course you need them...they're shiny and make you feel like a racer!a
Well there is always that reason. - Van
Attack best rearsets on the market because of adjustment capabilities and durability .I wear size 50 euro in boots so rearsets are a must. .Bought many sets off of STG.
Van i had respect for you until the ...Best superbike is the Suzuki gsxr 1000rr??? Sorry Euro brands have surpassed the japanese brands for over a decade now ,,,Japanese superbikes havent won a superbike comparison for over a decade..FYI i own a Superbike collection of all current japanese and Euro superbikes so not a hater.Euro manufacturers kept developement going after 2008 where the japanese cut developement to minimum (due to economy)
Thank you for your business! A few years back I was able to ride all of the current 1000's in a RRW shootout and felt the GSXR1000R was the best of the bunch. To be fair all of the bikes were bad ass, the Suzuki simply suits me better. - Van
Mask, that is why i love this... classic
Just want to keep everyone safe. - Van
The real name of this video should be call what the hell makes reasets so expensive
There is a lot of engineering and effort that goes into producing a good set of rearsets IMO. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear it just a couple brackets and pegs . $200 sure $600+ why?
Anybody notice the muffler 😂😂
We are just doing our part to prevent the spread of the Coronapocolypse. - Van
GET THAT FACE DIAPER OFF THAT BEAUTIFUL MOTORCYCLE!!!
I thought rearsets were a way to look cool to impress the ladies when your legs are bent like a super star MotoGP rider, lookin' like preying mantis arms? No?
No they are not. - Van
Wood craft is shit I got them for my bike and it was a total waste of money there were no adjustability what-you-see-is-what-you-get. On a 04 cbr600 f4i
Your bike is 19 years old now and to be fair you are lucky anyone is producing an aftermarket rearset kit for it. The Woodcraft kit Moves pegs up 1.25" Back 1" in a fixed position with no adjustment. For the current bike models their kits offer adjustable peg positions. - Van
@sportbiketrackgear yea it's 19yr old 20.000 miles and in tip top shape is there anything other than the china nock offs that I can get that is more adjustable
