Rear-sets for gen 1 B12?
« on: September 17, 2006, 05:09:14 AM »
Hi guys, just wondering if any of you have aftermarket rear sets, or jack up plates for your B12's?  I am looking to buy some soon, and I am wondering about the aftermarket items that remove the rubber mounting.  Would this make the bike uncomfortable for all day riding?  I don't know how much it would affect it?
That's impressive,
and I'm not easily impressed.


Look, a blue car!

ValterMoto type 1.5 on my '05 B1200S. These are 3 position adjustable and made very nicely. You will need to wire in a pressure switch banyo for the rear brake light.

Overall very pleased with them for my application. I have clip-ons and am running a 2in lower seat also. They bolt up directly to the frame therefore no flexing but the vibration is worse than stock.

I do not go on 400 mile rides though, if you plan to tour I would leave the pegs stock.

Good Luck, Ed

That's what I was thinking. I go on 300-400 km (sorry don't know miles) rides every few weeks (when I can get time off work).  So I might start playing around with custom stuff so I can keep the rubber mounting...
I can see drilled alloy now....

BTW, very nice ride 2005B12S!

Rearsets or jackup plates interchange between 1G & 2G bikes (and I'm guessing the 3G as well).

I have the NWS jackup plates on mine.

Love the looks of your carb pods set up.
