    Raask makes rearsets for your bike, although I hear they're not the best quality.

    If you're OK with a bit of light fabrication, get some steel plate and cut a triangular piece out of it. Drill/tap holes in it so that you can bolt it onto your stock footpeg mounting holes, then drill/tap holes wherever you like to bolt on your rearsets. This will move your feet up and back. GSXR 1000 rearsets work well because the spline pattern on the shifter shaft is the same between the Gixxer 1000 and the GS1000/1100. You may need to (I'm using Gixxer 1000 rear brake and rearsets, so this part is speculation) modify the GSXR brake rearset and/or the GS rear master cylinder to get them to work together, but the mounting methodology will be the same as the shifter rearset. Hope this helps.

        I know for a fact that the 03-04 Gixxer thou shifter rearset will work - I'm gonna be using that on my GS1000, the GSXR 1000 shifter fits like a glove on the GS shift shaft. Again, you have to make a mounting plate for your GS for this to work. Look for an 03-04 shifter rearset that looks like the one below if you go down this path, the 05+ won't work. YMMV getting the GSXR brake rearset to work with the GS master cylinder. I'm using a 2006 GSXR 1000 rear brake and swingarm so getting the 2006 brake rearset to work isn't an issue.
