Attack Performance Rearsets

muttang · 12-02-2011, 04:26 AM

I just ordered some rearsets to be delivered to Australia... Now can some one please tell me if these can be used on the road rather than just the track? Do they come with the brake switch or what ever it is? I should have asked this prior...

Any input appreciated.

Hi Muttang,

If your bike has ABS then no problem. The brake light works off pressure in the system. There is no switch. I just hooked the factor return spring under the Attack brake lever and works fine. The gear shift side fits up just as easy.

The only problem I have had, is when I switched to GP shift the quick shifter started playing up and the shift wasn't as good. But I haven't had time to play with moving the rod position.

If you just want to use normal shift they take about 15-20 mins to install and work as they are set up straight out of the box.

Great rearsets! enjoy

You definitely will not be disappointed. They are top shelf quality and make shifting "slicker".

As mentioned above, if you have an ABS the brake light will automatically work, as it's pressure sensitive (kind of like a smart bike).

In regular shift mode, the bike has 4 different holes/spots to choose from the top hole (#1) is hardest shifting and hole #4 is the easiest.

After trying them all, I ended up choosing spot #3, as spot #4 shifted so easily I felt disconnected from the bike. If I didn't mention it, your bike will shift much better after installing the AP rearsets.

I can't wait to hear how much you like these rearsets.

Great product with the exception that the carbon heel guards scuff easily from my Sidi boots. Spray the shift linkage with some WD-40 prior to your first ride.

Much crisper shifting and better feel than stock.

I guess I'm in the minority here, but I've tried it both ways (

), and don't feel like ranting and raving about it. With standard shift, I just didn't get a good foot-peg position (I want it to be placed higher than stock so that I get some additional ground clearance for racing but when I do that, the angle between the foot rest and the shift rod is too great). GP shift is definitely easier to shift, but clearance from the ground is still an issue. I plan to switch to Woodcraft...I have woodcraft on my Honda CBR and I couldn't be more pleased.

I have mine on the way. Can't wait to get them on.

Are there any special considerations if you have the BMW quick shift option?

have had mine all year on my 2011. Easy install and nothing really to worry about. Everything works. Great adjustibility....

I'm with everyone else...I love mine, they are great. I'm a street guy and I would glady buy these again if I had too. I waited about month before trying GP shift and I definitely like it better. Well, except when I ride my other bikes because I would forget they are standard sometimes.

I would love to hear your review between both when you get the chance.

I've heard Woodcrafts can take upwards of 3 hours to put on and another 30 minutes per side to make a simple adjustments. I had Woodcrafts on my 675 and I loved them, but compared to the Attacks, it's not even worth commenting on how much better the Attacks are. Woodscrafts only have a tiny range of adjustments as well since they can only be placed in a circle, so the range is like spinning the footpeg around a distance the size of a US Quarter.

Also worth nothing, with the Attacks you can switch footpegs from left to right and vise-versa, which gives you another set of adjustability, not sure if maybe yours came that way, or you may try to switch them and see if that helps.

All the best,

Triple
