BEET Rearsets (INSTALLED + PICTURES + Mini Review)
8
(Also posted on kawiforums, but I needed to share with my New Ninja family as well 
)
Again, some quick shots before rushing off to work. I've only had a chance to ride it a few miles this morning on the way back from my mechanic, but because of the drastic difference between the stock pegs and these, I decided to write a quick review:
Positioning:
Amazing. Completely redefines my leg posture. I have them at the highest setting (Position 4 on the adjustment bracket) which sets them back 52.5mm (2 inches) and up 25mm (1inch). The new height means that I'm forced to ride on my toes, which isn't a bad thing at all. It's actually quite comfortable. I feel my knees are in a lot better positioning in preparation to hang off the seat during aggressive cornering.
Shifter:
The new shifter is basically a short shifter now. Whatever throw/distance you're used to on your bike right now (the dead zone between gears when you shift) is non-existent now. We're talking instantaneous shifting. You move your foot, you're already in the next gear. The same goes for downshifting. I think it's safe to say that the shifting distance has been cut in half, if not more. Is this a negative aspect? Hardly. Also, the new shift lever is in a much better position overall affecting the ease in which you are able to get the toe of your boot under the shifter. I found that on the stockers I had angle my ankle down some and search for a comfortable position <--- Sorry if that is confusing. I'm going to take some foot position photos later to illustrate all this.
Brake Lever:
The brake lever sits much higher than the stock one and is almost lever with the footpeg. I'm not sure if the new spring mechanism was designed to have any effect on the overall feel of the rear brake pedal, but it definitely feels a lot firmer now, yet balanced enough that it still feels like you are braking. Again, like the new shifting experience, this re-designed brake lever makes you feel more connected to the bike than ever before.
**SIDENOTE** I wear a size 10 shoe and I have no trouble with these rearsets.
Bottom Line:
HIGHLY recommended if you have the cash. About $590 shipped from Japan.

Your bike is by far the sickest 250r this side of the world!
Congrats on all the hard work, money and time you put into it.
Even if you didnt do all the work yourself ( That jerk Dime )
It takes a wiser man to pay a professional to do mods, than to pay a professional to fix mods you messed up...
But reguardless, Beautiful bike, and im sure its breathtaking in person. congrats again.

Oh it does hahah. I actually need to wash/wax it this weekend.
Thanks Crush
Although the aftermarket will continue to tempt me as more things become available haha. That is an awesome quote my friend. That was exactly what was going through my mind when I was considering working on certain parts of my bike...i.e. my brakes.
Too bad you're in Mass! Speaking of Mass, I'll be in Boston for a day next month. I'll be in NYC and I'm going to take the bullet train and check out the City
