Good points mate, I never thought of that to be honest.

cheers mate, yeah that's the common mistake initially. Have fun

its a bit of trial and error, truth is most people try to go too high when the goal is actually to position the feet so you can lock on properly.

Hey Steve, yep I bought a Braaap MX450, I like it and have not had any issues at all. Personally I think they are pretty good value for money but they are what they are. I also have a Moto 4 in the shed and the finish on that is very surprising. I have met the owner and talked to him, and more than happy to say they try super hard and are ethical what they do, that's my opinion. They get stuffed around a bit with the manufacturing which is kind of out of their hands and people end up complaining. I recorded a podcast recently with the owner, maybe have a listen to it. It's The Moto Edition Podcast on Spotify and other places as well.

I'd agree mate, there's a premium paid for the BMW logo probably lol. But that's what they cost.

I think the problem with any rear set is they tend to be further back and higher, so comfort is always going to be compromised to some degree. I'd probably stick with standard if I was a taller guy I think. We run standard foot pegs on the Superbike school coach bikes, with the only real upgrade being a better and more gripier foot peg. That might be a good option for you rather than a full rear set change.

@@TheBikeStig understood. That was the worry. Good to get a heads up on it. Can I be cheeky and ask what grippy pegs you rate for standard set up? Appreciate you taking the time to reply mate. Always a great source of info 🙏🏻

@@Invis_Space not a problem mate, the school uses the Giles Tooling version especially made for the school - you can find them on the web, this is the Aussie web site - bike-shop.com.au/products/gilles-rgk-560-uf23-set - and this one is in the states I believe - www.pureperformancecycles.com/gilles-tooling-california-superbike-school-foot-pegs-2018-2021-bmw-f850-gs.html

@@TheBikeStigThanks make 👏🏻

@@TheBikeStig You were absolutely spot on. Got a set of these and some Eazi Grip... what a difference! improves confidence and stability on the bike. Appreciate the advice mate 👍🏻

I agree with these being a good compromise Brian, I've spoken to a few guys who've ridden with them and they speak highly of the grip. I haven't ridden on them myself but they tell me the grip surface performs like the BMW HP versions. I did fit a high grip replacement on my GS front and rear and was super impressed. So if I didn't have the HP rear sets on the S1RR, I'd definitely replace the OEMs with these.

cheers mate

my understanding about the threaded holes is they change leverage and the amount of movement required to change gears, why we would change I don't know. I use the holes closer to the pivot point and like the feel of it there in GP format. Yeah those rear sets can be set up too much to the rear and high, try the different extremes of set up to see which one is closer to your preference. Have fu.n

I have no idea mate, it definitely should not do that. I'd be pulling it apart to find the cause. Sorry, not much help D

I have no idea mate, have never compared lowest position to standard pegs. Remember these were designed for track use and not really for touring.

Hard to comment as I have never experienced height like that :-) ... actually, without seeing what it all looks like and what your bike is, try forward and down and see how much difference that makes, try the extremes just so you get a sense of what is better placement for a person your height. Hope that helps

@@TheBikeStig I have BMW s1000rr 2017 with a Gilles HP rearset

I haven't had that brand but I believe they are a quality set.

Sorry mate, I thought the discussion about where they should be might address the how.

I agree 🙂
