    Hi all, I've a 2013 Fireblade and i want to make it slightly more comfortable for a drive to Spain in a few months. The only problem I have is that my legs get stiff after an hour or so and any longer and my foot gets numb. I'm 5'10 and I've got long legs so I'm looking at dropping the pegs to relieve come of the strain and free up blood flow. Can anyone recommend rearsets with good downward adjustability? Thanks.

    When I was looking into rearsets Gilles vcr's often came up in conversation as being of good quality and offer an excellent amount of adjustment in all directions. Maybe worth researching them. I went for a different brand in the end as I didn't need the foot rests to go lower, so couldn't vouch for the Gilles.

    Just looked at Gia Moto ( https://www.giamoto.com/rearsets/honda-products/ ).

    They do look good. I think the problem for 'Frankenstein' (and others) is being able to find out just how much 'downward adjustment' is available before laying out their hard-earned money. Perhaps an email to the respective manufacturers might help, because there is no information on the websites.
