    Can the Gilles rear sets go lower than photo. I want to get the pegs lower for road use, but be able to get them OEM height for track days. Hopefully you're still around - post was 2011

    Looking at the photo there's still some room for adjustment, but when you go further back on the left side you run the risk of too big a gap to reach the gear shift properly.

    I just bought a set of diamond race product ones they rock and they are on SALE now at £159 delivered next day postage!!
    They have a great amount of adjustment and you can buy all the spares for a reasonable price if you go down the road
    For what its worth i think they rock :cool:

    I went for Bonamicci rearsets. Easy to fit and tonnes of adjustability :)

    On my RR7 before fitting my new Gilles VCRs I measured from three points the exact positions of the originals footrests and brake and gear lever positions. The idea was to use these as a reference and hopefully get a bit more room from the VCRs.

    Well, it's not really possible without very different leg/knee angles. I tried the VCRs with the sliders further back but found this dropped the thighs too much, which made the shin/ankle angle too acute, tho' some might like it.

    Also with the footrests all the way back you could feel a bit of flex in the footrests. So if you want a 'lower' footrest position which is what I think most people mean when they say they want a more relaxed leg position, the Gilles VCRs probably ain't what you want. They do however, look the b*****s.

    The position shown in the pics is very close to the originals, just a teeny bit higher.

    Very nice.
    This is how mine used to look, although I couldn't get the legroom either.

    Still got VCR mounting plates if anyone wants to convert a set from another bike.
