    So... What are people setting their rear sets at?

    Despite having the lighTech rear sets on the bike several months I've not really played with adjustment and simply set them furthest forward...

    Track day coming up so thought would play ... I'm surprised how much more comfortable I am with them set far back...

    I tend to set them at the comfiest setting for me then when I'm at track if they grind I move them a position at a time making sure I can still get my knee into the recess in tank when hanging off.

    From memory back one from furthest forward and one up is where I'm at. I'm 6ft tall

    Well I've just taken some measurements off standard pegs via aftermarket and explains why I like them far back ...

    The aftermarkets are only 10mm further back than standard!

    I suspect these will be up for sale!

    That 15mm can be a world of difference to your knees and hips! Meaning they are as cramped as compared to standard pegs.

    Can ride for longer stints with gilles rearsets compared to the standard ones

    The lighTechs have loads of adjustment but don't actually go that much further back over standard ...

    Could you measure from screw on bar end to peg? Be interesting to compare :)
