I got a hold of a set of race rearsets for my S1W, but I am having an issue with the with the right side footpeg mounting angle on the swingarm support. As shown in the link below, the right side footpeg is at too extreme of an angle. The left side mounts just fine. If I had pictures of the angles of the cutouts/slots that the footpegs mount into on the left/right side plates side by side, you would see that they are at two very distinct angles.

Was this a machining error, or am I doing something wrong. I am positive that I did not mix up the footpegs, trying to mount to left on the right or the right on the left.

TIA

I just walked over to my Box O Buell stuff and I think you are right in thinking the machining was off. The peg holder on mine is rotated back, which would put your flat peg more level.

Thanks, and bummer!

I imagine you could run some round pegs just fine though.

I found a picture of what it looks like without the pegs, comparing the stock footpeg hanger slot with the one on the race rearsets.

I thought of that too, but I really like the pegs I have on them. I was even thinking of going to dirt bike pegs, but then I'll have the same problem. Round pegs are the only way to go, but they're my third choice...

... unless I get some machining done.

Who is the manufacturer?
What does the other side look like?
My old S1W had some rear sets and they were up and back from the stock peg location and I seem to remember them being clamped to a frame tube.

I believe what you posted are American Sport Bike rearsets.
My S1W currently has Buell Pro Series rearsets.
The pictures I posted are of the Buell race department controls. They aren't actually even rearsets. In fact, they move the pegs forward.
