Ottimoto Rearset help/intrsuction thread

[agp]

I have received a couple questions regarding ottimoto rearsets. I have also seen a question thread regarding the rearsets. I would like to assist anyone with questions.

Instead of trying to help people individually I will disassemble and reassemble mine taking detailed pics along the way. I intend to produce step-by-step instructions using the pics. It will probably be color prints of the pics with hand written instructions, then I will scan sheets into a PDF and upload it here. Sorry I don't really have the time to do a true professional job on the instructions. I should have it done by the end of the weekend.

Please let me know anything you want extra detail on.

agp, I hope you don't mind me putting the photos here.
I thought I could put it all together in 1 post and it will be easier for other users to search.

Anyway, I have recently installed my rear sets and I have taken some pictures of it.
Not sure if it was installed correctly but hope it helps.

I've also to provided a comparison with the OEM rear sets.

do those rearsets allow you to convert to gp shifting, if not, does anyone know of any that do?

You can convert your stock ones to GP shifting, just put the shift rod on the opposite side of the part it fastens on, ie 0* instead of 180*.

Shinleung,

It looks like you have the pegs as far back and as high as they would go.
Is that correct?
If so, is there really that much of a difference in the riding position and do you notice any change in the way the bike handles with the different foot positioning?
I guess what I'm asking, is it worth the money?

Nope you can't run GP shift on the Ottimotos without modifying the rearsets.

I have the Ottimotos, as high and far back as possible, and...
There is a tangible difference in how your position feels (much more sporty), but it really doesn't affect the handling (except a couple of extra inches of clearance in full lean).
They are definitely worth the money, especially considering the $600 price tag on the Rizomas.
