Are you comfortable now? Are you uncomfortable? Have you ever dragged your pegs in a corner? It looks like a good way to waste $48 to me. If you are dragging pegs it probably has more to do with body positioning and/or suspension set up. Racers generally buy rearsets because they're sturdier, the components are replaceable, and they allow you to switch to GP shift on bike models that don't allow it with stock parts. Very rarely is clearance a factor on a modern sportbike.

i thought they were more for better riding position than clearence issues. I am not unconfortable on my bike i was just curious what this set up would feel like and if it was a better riding position ...

your talking about moving the rearsets up and back, IMO thats going to put your body in amore aggressive position, and wear more on you for street riding. Now, if you are talking about your riding poistion from a pure performance standpoint that may help.

IMo id leave it, GSXRS are pretty aggressive already, get any more aggressive and your getting into that Daytona territory which will really beat you up on any ride that goes for more than 30 or 45 minutes.
