Anybody riding rear sets on the street?

[shinyribs]

I keep entertaining the idea of building rearsets cuz they look so cool,but I can't find them comfortable.

I have put my bike on the center stand and "mocked up" rear sets several different times by putting my feet on jackstands at several different positions. I can never find any spot that feels good.It always feels scrunched up.

I'm not talking about racing,or putting around downtown,but actually getting out and logging miles.

Anyone have them and like them?

   O.K. I'll bite ,
                          What the hell's A "rear set"
  Must be some Nija,set-up Forward controls Yes
BUTTshifting while yo tank,never did,I'd think would be great IF you can use stk. also(leave on).Can get used to anything over time.

My rear sets on the bike when I ride. More specifically, on the vinyl saddle.

Good one!

Resets are not made to be comfortable. There made for racing but are cool as long as you don't ride far and plain on scraping pegs!

Rear sets ok for racing, you'll hate them for riding around town.  Stick with the standard mid sets.  Ok, ok, I want to move  the shift and brake controls a little to the rear on my SV650n, but that's only because I have a 34" inseam...Thankfully the suzuki tank has knee indents!

If I don't lose some weight, I'll NEED to get rear sets because my belly may not let my feet reach the normal controls with that gas tank in the way. LOL
