Anyone here using a WOODCRAFT CFM rearsets?

[Jackhammer]

are you guys using your stock brake/clutch pedals?

pics?

[bladerunner]

Yes, I am using CFM/Woodcraft rearsets (on my 2005 GSX-R1000) with the stock brake and shift levers/pedals. They work great with the stock pedals, just give them the slightest smear of grease before installing them onto the footpegs and you are good-to-go. And cost effective.

I have used Woodcraft rearsets on ALL of my racebikes over the past five years. A few crashes during that time and they have stood up remarkably well. I would recommend them to anyone. Below are the only pix I have of the bike with anything close a close-up of the rearsets.

is there a reason why you opt to use the stock brake lever?


mine has everything except for stock shifter....i wanna get the whole kit and get them powder coated black

I got them used and that is what they came with. I do like the knurled surface on the shift lever, you can get a good grip with your foot. I don't use the rear brake much so I don't really care. I removed the brake light switch from the bike.

woodcraft no longer makes the brake/shift pedals for the RC rearsets, so stockers will have to do unless you can find them from someone who wants to get rid of them.

I run em with stock shift and brake pedals. Nice thing about it is you can usually find OEM pedals for cheap here or ebay. And if you do break a footpeg the track day organizer usually carries Woodcraft stuff.

+1 You now have to use the stock pedals. They are fantastic, strong rearsets though!

I've just fitted Vortex Rearsets to my RC and I've modified the pegs for weight and aesthetics.
I want to pick up on an earlier comment however regarding the strength of aftermarket kit.
This actually concerns me as ultimately energy and force from a a tipover has to be absorbed/dissipated somewhere. Looking at my Vortex jobies I've been thinking of modifying them further to make sure the peg gives out before it damages the frame.
Most of the aftermarket setups have fixed pegs, whereas the originals - as everyone knows - swing. This may be the route I take.

No worries on the RC51. The step brackets will bend well before the frame would take any damages. Its not an Aprilia you know :P

The only problem with fixed pegs is that the bike map flip if you go on a farming excursion. That and the tank will take more of a hit.
