Rearsets for 1100G model's
Well I'm sure that this has been covered before but I'm new to this forum so please forgive me. I have a 82 GS1100G that I'm trying to purchase rearsets for. I contacted Jim from Fast from the Past and Tarozzi doesn't make them. I haven't tried Raask yet. I thought I'd check with the forum to see what others are doing. Thanks in advance for any help.Tags: None

Good luck finding them, unless you have some serious fabrication skills.
Seems there aren't too many options for "sporty" footpegs on what is essentially a touring motorcycle.

It looks good (and progressive) on a newer bike (like my first bike) but on these older bikes, kinda out of place. But that's just my opinion.

If the bike is redone for performance they'll look part of the build. If you just bold them on a dirty old bike, they look newbee.1982 GS1100G- road bike

On my bike, I can't get excited about the idea. Don't care to squat all day on a road bike just to feel cool, they are long distance bikes by design.
I would like to move the pegs back just 2 inches, no more and no higher.1982 GS1100G- road bike

I knew that bike looked familiar - Londonboards. He is a member here.

I've ridden that bike to the end of the block and back and it was perfectly comfortable. I'd love to ride it on a longer trip and see how the rear sets improve it's "long ride" comfort. I have an 1100g which I've ridden 6400 miles on a trip to Ontario, Canada from California and back and I found the stock peg placement to be fine as well. I ride with Superbike bars, which are close to what Londonboards has on that bike and I'm 5-10 tall. I could never rationalize spending that kind of money on rear sets when I needed rear shocks, front fork springs, fork brace, new tires, ect. I'm a tight wad like that....... Oh yes...brake lines, new LED bulb, seat cover, R&R, Stator..........We should meet up when the weather gets warmer. I'm 4 hours south.Last edited by Charlie G; 12-07-2017, 11:57 AM.sigpic

Thanks for all the replies. I did look into the Raask rearsets and the placement is to far back for me. I would like for it to be two or three inches back at the most and no higher. I have Superbike bars on it now. I'm a shorter rider and find it more comfortable with my feet a little more back. I'll keep looking for a creative solution. Happy to pay for the services for someone who can help make it happen. Thanks againAttached FilesLast edited by Guest; 12-07-2017, 10:25 PM.

With rearsets and lower bars, you can transfer some more of the weight off of your butt to your thighs. Especially in concert with some lower bars. I've always put them on my Commandos. My RD has them too, and I have a set to put on the skunk. I don't expect to go there with the Gs in my stable. Don't knock it until you've tried it though. They don't necessarily force you into a racer crouch. They can be quite comfortable and better than stock for long rides, depending upon your equipment and personal preferences. Usually, rearward vision in the mirrors is compromised moderately to severely.
Low bars without rearsets is just stupidly uncomfortable to use, not to mention humorous to see in practice.
I bought a set of Raask for my RD400 from Omar's years ago. They don't work on my 400. I think they are made for a 350 with a cable brake. The part number says it fits, but they don't. That bike is running Moto Carrera rearsets instead. Someday I'll use them on something.sigpic Too old, too many bikes, too many cars, too many things

I agree with you I like to have my weight distributed evenly and find it more comfortable. I also prefer how motorcycles handle and the better feedback from the road when choosing a line or adjusting to conditions.
