Default GPR STABLIZIER AND VORTEX REAR SETS...GOOD BUY

just got the gpr stablizier and rearsets, and it is best purchase i have made so far . feel a lot more confident leaning over, and the bike is freaken stable.

as for the adjustable rearsets, does anyone have picks of their setup? thanks.

what do you guys think is a good position for the rear sets for 5'10"?

rearsets always feel good

as far as good position, get what you feel comfortable with

its all rider preference

gotta send the unit to gpr to get serviced once a year. you're **** out if you don't have the receipt. if you do it's $13 bucks... friend almost wrecked cuz the damper leaked oil shortly after buying it, almost a tank slapper.. just keep an eye and feel for it.

Aside from ground clearance and solid foot pegs, adjustable rearsets let you customize how you fit on a bike. My legs are not that long so I moved my rearsets a bit forward, making me feel much more stable while leaning over and off the bike.

GPR is trash. Have fun with that thing leaking oil all over your bike.

Matris, Ohlins, or Scotts FTW

depends on the bike and what you prefer. i've got my rearsets as low and as far forward as possible. probably because my out-of-shape *** has lost some flexibility.

I struggled with a more aggressive setting for a session at the track and changed them. it immediately felt better.

Sometimes I wish I had chosen Sato over Gilles in the beginning, especially when SBTG had them on sale after I received my Gilles.
