Gillies does make a set but they are spendy you are looking at 550 for them.
Yes I do have a set and they are very nice.

Be creative guys! It was awhile ago but I found a superhawk for sale online and saw the gilles rearsets on it. Offered to buy them off the bike before he sold it and got em for just over $200.

I tried on numerous occasions to be equally creative while looking for a full exhaust system but kept running into walls.... of course, it will automatically be no if you don't ask!

Sorry didn't mean to make it sound easy but it's just another avenue and you may get lucky.

I don't know how good they are, but check out Dennis Kirk on their web site.
They have a product made by cycle pirates where you can change your stock pegs. And its a lot cheaper.

Sorry for pics, bike is dirty and it's raining here

Cheers,

I plan on getting a set before my track day. the ad is confusing. the say it only costs $32 for the pegs. then as you prepare to order you realize that they haven't included the base mount in that price. tack on another $50. still cheaper than new rearsets. I'll let know guys know how it goes.

search "easy diy rearsets" for some ideas. I did mine as i described in that thread and love them. Costs nothing and moves them back 1" and up 1 and 1/2 " . I stand up and bounce the suspension and ride aggressively and have no complaints.
