onesec.... VORTEX rearsets
I ended up purchasing these today since I no longer have a right side. We will see what the quality is of them now. I went with these because they are only $250 and for the 07 600RR, it makes it real easy to go to GP shift, which the stock ones cant do.
|
how easy is it to set up the rear brake light switch on those?

What do they look like? Personally, I wouldn't even set up the rear switch. I never use it.

Brake light is avail using a Banjo connection, purchased separately. As has been said, what's the point? Well, besides being DOT-approved, but if you've done your can(s) or changed your plate or signals then you're already out of compliance so don't bother. |

I kept busting the whole bracket on my 636's sets which is why I went this route. That and I ground up my left peg at Mid-Ohio so I'm hoping for some more clearance. |

Interesting.
And I agree on the rear brake. If I'm using it, I'm off the pavement and won't need a light |
Do you guys have state inspection, Trip?

Claim they never use the rear brake w/o the front. |

Not that I want you to wreck again, but I'd like to know how those rearsets hold up in a crash before I decide to take that route over woodcraft/sato/gilles/etc

Where's kanwisch when you need him, I can't get in contact with this mofo for nothing. I am going to call my credit card company tomorrow if he doesn't respond to my phone or email messages.
|
Fuck that shit man... get the ottimoto ones like I told you on AIM. No communication with buyers is my big pet peeve. It's FAR worse than the delay itself. He could have the courtesy to let you know what the deal is.

Let me think...... my lead time was something like two weeks and it noted it in the Ebay auction. Also, as I did note in my OP on this org, they must have some overpowered spam filter because my Hotmails were getting dumped like Britney Spears. Its possible the same's happening to yours. And they definitely need to work on their Ecom system, its not up to what's considered quality by today's standard. I'll PM you the direct email to Chris, who helped me out. On the upside, I got the bike back together and am closely eyeing next Monday. If the rain shifts out of the forecast then I should have some feedback on Tuesday on how these suckers feel. |
Be carefull with those rearsets. I've seen people post on multiple boards that they are pretty much crap. I've seen posts from horrible customer service to crappy product.
I've never used them, but from what i've read, you pretty much get what you pay for with them. |

Filed a dispute payment affidavit, should get my money back soon.
Found a place that sells vortex pretty cheap, and everyone at the track usually has parts for vortex. So I am going to go that route instead. |
I like my vortex rear sets... the fitment was a little tight... they needed a little grinding to fit properly... but nothing crazy... and I'd rather have them fit tight than loose...

Well I got my vortex rearsets today and got em installed. Finally can do GP shift. God, these are nice. I am very happy with my purchase. I was finally able to get back on two now that these came in. It felt great. I missed riding so much. I will do a more in depth write up later and put in some pics. These were a super easy install.

This your first chance at GP shift? Hard time adjusting? It took me about one day of riding for it to become second nature. |
i really wish i could get the 1125 to GP shift... :tt:
|
Quote:
I have had a couple oopsies already, couldn't find neutral at one red light. Finally gave up and stalled out in 4th or 5th gear :lol: |
Haha the first couple rides I made some dumb mistakes... luckily none of them were near redline or it might have been a pretty hairy situation.
But now that I'm used to it.... GOD gp is so much better. Clicking off those clutchless upshifts feels so great. |
FUCK the GP shift.

May be a bit late, but I love my vortex rearsets, and marko138 your welcome to your own opinion but gpshift is better, clutchless upshifts, with shift detent kit ftw. I use it on the street aswell... Pic of vortex rearsets as gpshift, I'm going to get the r6 parts to mod it into a 1 bar system but right now its using two;

what's the shift detent kit? |
Quote:

when I first got into bikes... I always thought it was weird the way things were setup... to me GP was the way I assumed it should be... I've yet to switch mine... not sure if I can... :idk:
|
Quote:
I'm sure you can do it. It's a question of if it's a simple mod or if you need aftermarket rearsets to do it. It might be a little harder to find for the non-supersport bikes. I.e. if you had a zx-6r it might be more common, or if I instead had a yzf600 it might be less common, etc. Mine was a 5 minute job. Cash money. |
Quote:
I've asked the question on another forum that has alot of ZZR riders on it... so well see... but I'll try when I get home. |
Quote:
|
humm... mine is adjustable.. and I have quite a bit of play... just can't remember if I can flip the clamp or if I'll have to do some extra work...
|
I may have an issue with both the frame and the front sprocket cover... :idk:

Can't tell from the pic, but you might be able to reverse it where the linkage runs into the lever... Possible clearance issues... again, I cannot tell. Def clearance issues if you did it at the output shaft...
|
no the lever and where it attaches are all machined one piece...
|
That makes me wonder if vortex makes a separate rearset for gp, probably has a rod with a kink in it to clear the frame... if you flip the bracket on the knurled shift rod does it clear the sprocket cover?
|
Quote:
Ebbs,I think you should try it and see,I think that it'll be close but will work. Besides,it shouldn't take more than a few minutes to do. |

Quote:
yeah the more I look at it... if I flip it it may JUST clear... the tightening bolt is on that side... only concern now would be the frame... it's on my list to do when I get home:dthumb: |
Ebbs, you have tried it... when you rode my SV :lol:

I think that bitch is getting pretty long :lol: |
not too terribly long
Change Oil and filter Change fuel filter Clean and Lube chain install HID lights and delay cut new fairings and install sliders Wash wax and buff... (needs it after my fucking tarp rubed it so much on the way down from AK) and, Convert to GP shift |
and ride
|
Quote:
I really think this will take 1 day AT MOST... I'll soak the chain and sprocket in Kero. first... let it soak till the last thing... cut the fairings while draining the oil... I think I'll flush the coolant while I'm at it... I need to put a new overflow bottle on as it's required for the sliders... and I'll put some water wetter in. and most fucking defiantly ride! |
Quote:
ah well, i'm out for awhile. |
well if you haven't done it by then... bring it over... we'll do both! :lol:
|
Quote:
|
I heard someone say "Fuck the GP shift." I agree.
|
Ebbs did you get it figured out? Possible or no?
Quote:
|
I think it's possible... won't know for sure till I try it in september... it'll be in my blog
