How to Mount Rearsets on a SF?

[Spub]

If you can touch the ground with your hands without bending at the waist, you are good to go to ride an SFC.....whether short legs or long arms gets you there does not matter....

 

[Spub]

And I did install Wolfgangs rearsets on my SF2 and they fit perfect, looked like ghey were meannt for the bike, and worked flawlessly...they do tuck your feet underneath and earn the name"rearsets", however...

My sf2 is setup as a sfc Vince, I can make the stretch

Yeah, feet to pegs may be OK, but what about your arms? Can you reach both bars when on full lock?

Yep full lock is about 10 degrees

I've got a 31" reach with my arms, have 33" legs at 5'11" weighing 140lbs - I'm a Spider - LOL

Full Lock - That was another Mod I made by welding tab's on the Stop Bracket to limit the sweep (Right about 10 Degrees - LOL. Gotta say it's one pain in Parking lots or making a U-Turn but it's worth the aggravation when Cruising.

I must say the SF has a very stable Triple Tree I'm satisfied with the Ceraini 35's. It handles Asphalt Ruts and Pot holes, points and steers almost automatically without input to the Bars; however, that suspension reminds you that your on a Dirt Bike anything below 30mph and hard on the Kidneys - It's all you can do to keep her under 120 klics and that 90 Km Speed Limit when cursing. What a Sweet Ride ;o)

Have owned many Bikes over my years of Motorcycling and I kept this one.

extremely compromising for a light 6 footer with 33" Legs.

You're losing height fast, I've calculated that by midday tommorow you will be 5'5 " tall

But, fuck his arms are long. Has a red arse and a hankering for bananas!

Come to This:

Passing 2 Transports: Your at 7500 Rpm+ @ 120 mph + (She's SMOOTH) then downshift into 2nd & Coast  - That's a Breganze 750 SF - In Waiting. EAT that Commando, Ducati SS or KZ 1000.  

Heh! She's My Ireland.

Doesn't mean she can't hit 8 G's.

How I do it - Contact me and I will talk you to Death about the Breganze 750 SF.

Doesn't mean I will not learn - That's what it's all about.

Imperial spider  8)

140lbs = ? stones ?

Chart for the small minority of us on this worldwide forum who are not used to the Anglo-Saxon's Imperial measurement system.


Imperial                Metric
1 inch [in]            2,54 cm
1 foot [ft]  12 in    0,3048 m
1 yard [yd] 3 ft      0,9144 m
1 mile 1760 yd      1,6093 km

1 pound [lb] 16 oz  0,4536 kg
1 stone 14 lb        6,3503 kg

I guess a PIC will end your confusion over Measurements:

Taken last summer. I'm turning 65 this June. Canadians use both Metric and the Imperial System and tend to leave out Stones - LOL.

Believe me I really appreciate that Rickman Fairing when the occasion is appropriate to cruise at 80mph (say 130km/hr) and that Sampsonite is very handy for them long tours.

Here's a Sweat Heart I let go a couple of years ago.
(Thought you might like the PIC - NO Rear Sets though)

Always wanted to put a 500 twin in her but never got around to it.

And COSI you know better ;o)

Hello Dale,

Just came across this one on the Dutch 'ebay', called Marktplaats:

That is going to be expensive, already is.

Paul, Expensive or did you mean relatively cheap? For example, look at:

http://www.moto-baron.com/en-NL/road/frame-motorcycle/footrests/lsl/rearset-with-multiple-positions

I don't think you will find an S/SF set new unused very often, so the price is set by whatever one wants to pay, as the bidding on Marktplaats shows.

Well, they're not going to work striaght off on a Laverda, and will look extremely misplaced as well...  (puke)

[hkraanen@xs4all.nl]

Agree with you on that Piet, just wanted to show how much a 'random' set costs and that ? 145,- for a new SF set isn't to much money.

You're right. I've been badly brought up. 145 € was the price I used to pay for the complete bike.
