Yeah, gold road his ass off that day. My foot pegs keep coming loose to a point where it is dangerous. I need to get some red lock tight and take care of them quick. Also the brake lever sucks, it's so high I almost have to pick m foot off the peg to use it, I don't see any adjustment for it either

normally I would expect to see an adjustment at the back of the pedal, where it pushes into the mastercylinder. not on yours?

Not at the linkage point, I'll have to check when I take them back off to replace the peg if there is some adjustment I missed.

post up a pic but I'm thinking there HAS to be an adjustment.

how does the pedal actuate the mc? I would think that it attaches to a rod coming out of the bottom of the mc - usually with some type of barrel and cotter pin. you can normally adjust the length of that rod which will raise of lower the pedal. that point I'm refering to wasn't part of the rearset kit but the rear mc

not sure if that make sense or not

Are the rearsets aluminum or stainless. Then can we reshape them with some heat or pressure?

I assume they're aluminum becuase of how soft they are, well the pegs at least. I don't like bending aluminum if I don't have too becuase it's so brittle. I do have to bend the entire right rear set no matter what because the brake lever is touching the swing arm. If I have some time this week to mess with it I'll keep everyone up to date on my 650 thread.
