Im after rear sets guys but i want to match my silver frame and swing arm. Iv been searching high and low and only finding black or gold Im about to order silver SES sets but before i do does anybody know of any other sets that come in silver or grey and from a uk seller ?
No, sorry, just looked on the HPS website and it looks like Black or Gold only for your bike. Odd that.
Just phoned SES and ordered a set of silver ADJ rear sets for next day delivery at £ 224.99 + £9.00 special delivery I was offered the new design which they said had the heel plate machined as part of the hanger but i would have to wait 2 weeks for them to be made so i said i don't mind a removable guard and ordered the old style. I got a call back 10 mins later saying that they need to machine a bit off the mounting point for the master cylinder as from 2010 the master cylinder is a different shape and it could delay the next day delivery. Did your have to be machined for the master cylinder ?
TBH mate, I've to the Gilles and its just something else to keep messing around with. If i had the choice again, i would just keep them standard and take the long bolt out of the pegs to increase ground clearance.
My feet are to far forward with standard mate, Im riding around with my toes on the pegs. Iv paid for them now and looking forward to delivery
mmmm Im not sure actually .. I would of said the arch of my foot should be on the peg so my toes are covering the levers but iv recently been tought to have my toes on the peg to get my knee down easier so im not sure now. Anyone done a ron haslam school or similar that can answer ?
I saw one of Rocket Ron's instructors on the telly telling Neil Morrissey and the geezer off the "Worlds best Motorcycle Journey's" to ride with their toes on the pegs for better leverage when moving across the saddle.
California Superbike School. Your toes should be on the pegs. This makes it easier to move around the bike as being on your toes allows you to react quicker and under more control. Your foot should pivot on the end of the peg, so it allows more lateral angles. if you imaging your foot in the centre of the peg, you can only pivot forward and back. If im on a right hander, my left foot will move down the peg to rest on the heel step of my boot. This acts as a 'lock' to hang you off the bike better. while the right toes are sitting on the ball (end) of the peg. If you look at the pegs on the stanard bike, there is a raised nipple (ohh-errrr) on the outside. This is where your foot should be. Well, it works for me anyways...!
Just had a call from Justin at SES informing me he had managed to get the sets sorted and in the post for delivery tomorrow.. Top bloke , Top service and from what iv seen a nice bit of kit as well.. Ill start a post when i get them fitted tomorrow.. Cant wait now.

defo toes on pegs! my SES rear sets fitted no problem but i can't use the mose rearward bottom position as the brake cylinder clashes with the exhaust thats why they must have changed them. PP tuning come with a longer brake hose as they reposition the master cylinder and the OE hose isn't long enough
Speaking of which,, Anyone know if you can get replacement toe guards/sliders for Alpinestars Tech R's in red ? ( same boors as in the pic above but opposite colours )
