So I bought and installed chainsikle rearsets it what is turning out to be a rash and stupid decision. My question for those who have reasets how do you fit? Im 5'10" and didnt think I would have a problem. Its extremely difficult to shift and after a 20 min ride my knees were so stiff I barely was able to hold my bike up. Did you have to do anything else to fit like buy a thicker seat?

 

Post a side view of your bike, so we can what the riding position is like. If you have a low seat and high bars, for example, you may also need a physio!

 

heres a shot with each of my seats: a sundower(i think), and a sick saddles.

 

I thought I was crammed with my clip ons and mid controls, i cant imagine that being comfortable at all.

 

With a user name like cripple what do you expect? Lol

 

I'm 5 11 and have fowards, also with the solo Sick Saddle, fits me perfect....

 

Nope, starting to regret this.

 

Just return it to stock, sell the rear sets and chalk it up to a learning experience.

 

You need a much taller seat that is 2-3" off the frame rails. Look at how a XR1200 has the seat higher up off the frame rails. Sport bikes don't even have the seat to rearset peg as close as they are when done on a Sportster.

I run clip-ons & mids. Works perfectly for me.
