Rearsets
Adjustable footpegs that buy cornering clearance and put your legs where they belong. Race seats, seat cowls, and seat foam ride along here — the whole rider triangle below the bars.
The short answer
Woodcraft for rebuildability and cheap crash spares, Vortex for peg grip, Bonamici or Gilles when finish matters as much as function. Start one notch up and back from stock and adjust from there. OEM-branded rearsets typically cost about double the equivalent aftermarket set for the same job.

Rearsets by model
What each bike's page says about rearsets: the brands that fit, the year splits and the gotchas, quoted from the 25 bike pages that have a note on it.
Honda CBR600RR
Woodcraft and Vortex fitments have covered 2007-on for years — community-reported stable across the PC40 run. Rebuildability matters here; both sell crash spares.
Kawasaki ZX-6R
Woodcraft and Vortex are the track standards; both sell replacement pieces so a crash doesn't total the set. Community-reported: 2013–2023 share rearset fitment; verify 2024+ separately.
Suzuki GSX-R600
Woodcraft is the track standard for the GSX-R — rebuildable with trackside spares. Vortex and Gilles are solid alternatives. 2011+ rearsets fit both the 600 and 750.
Yamaha R6
Woodcraft is the US track default because every wear part is replaceable trackside; Vortex and Gilles follow. Check the listing's year split — some R6 control parts span 2006–2020, others split at 2017.
Ducati Panigale V4
Bonamici, CNC Racing, Gilles Tooling around $500–700. The 2022 ergonomic change (higher pegs, new heel guards) splits fitment — a '2018–2024' listing is a red flag, not a convenience.
Honda CBR1000RR
Woodcraft is the US track default (rebuildable, spares at every track), Vortex and Gilles follow. RR and RR-R rearsets are separate fitments — no crossover.
Suzuki GSX-R750
Woodcraft for track (crash-rebuildable), Vortex for grip, Gilles for street polish. 2011+ SKUs are shared with the GSX-R600.
Aprilia RS 660
Bonamici and Woodcraft dominate the 660 paddock; Gilles is the street-premium option. Community threads on cheap eBay/Arashi rearsets for this bike are mixed at best.
Ducati Panigale V2
Bonamici, CNC Racing, and Gilles Tooling are the Ducati-centric picks around $450–600. Ducati Performance rearsets (made by Rizoma) run roughly double for similar function — you're paying for the logo.
Honda CBR500R
Woodcraft lists complete rearsets for the CBR500R/CB500F (2013–2015 SKUs) and Driven lists TT rearsets for 2013–2015. We found no rearset listings for 2016 and later, and the 2019 restyle changed the ergonomics, so confirm your year with a vendor.
Honda CBR650R
We found no CBR650R rearset kit at Sportbike Track Gear. On E-Clutch bikes Honda's system reads pressure on the shift pedal, so choose a kit that lists E-Clutch fitment. Gilles Tooling's CBR650R listings (2019–2020) are a shift-lever holder, filler cap and axle nut, not rearsets.
Suzuki GSX-8R
Woodcraft's complete kits list the 8S/8R in standard and GP shift and reuse the OEM quickshifter; Gilles Tooling's AS31GT3 lists 2023–2024; TST's riser brackets raise the stock pegs.
Suzuki SV650
Woodcraft makes SV-specific rearsets with crash-replaceable parts — the club-race default. Vortex covers the street-track middle.
Aprilia Tuono 660
The stock seat is thin and flat — comfort seats and gel retrofits are a recurring owner purchase for commuting duty. Try seat position tweaks before spending; the 660's triangle is roomier than the spec sheet suggests.
Ducati Monster
The stock seat is style-first. Comfort seats and the +/- height options (low seat, lowering kit) are legitimate mods here — the Monster serves more body types than any other Ducati.
Ducati Streetfighter V4
The stock seat is thin for the mission. Comfort seats and gel options exist from Ducati Performance and aftermarket upholsterers — a real mod for street-mile riders.
Honda CB500F
Woodcraft lists complete rearsets (STD and GP shift) and a base kit for the CBR500R/CB500F, with 2013–2015 SKUs. We found no CB500F-specific rearset listings for later years, so verify your year with a vendor.
Honda CB650R
Gilles Tooling and Bonamici list the 650 platform, often as shared CB/CBR SKUs. On 2024+ E-Clutch bikes, check clutch-side clearance before ordering — the actuator occupies space some kits assume is free.
Kawasaki Z650
Thin stock foam is a top-three owner complaint — Corbin and Luimoto have dedicated fitments, and the Z650RS seat doesn't swap (different pan).
Kawasaki Z900
Stock foam softens fast under commuting duty; Corbin and Luimoto make dedicated Z900 seats. Don't buy Z900RS seats — different pan and subframe trim.
Suzuki GSX-8S
Woodcraft's complete kits list the 8S/8R in standard and GP shift and reuse the OEM quickshifter; Gilles Tooling's AS31GT3 lists 2023–2024; TST's riser brackets raise the stock pegs.
Yamaha MT-07
The most complained-about stock part. Sargent, Corbin and Luimoto cover the spectrum from touring rebuild to sporty cover.
Yamaha MT-09
A top-three complaint on every generation. Aftermarket seats and foam rebuilds are a mature market for this bike — buy comfort, it changes how far you ride.
Honda Grom
Aftermarket flat and comfort seats address the stock plank; gen 3's flatter seat reduced the need. Stunt and race seats change mounting by generation.
Kawasaki Ninja 300
Woodcraft (complete kit with pedals) and Vortex (adjustable V2) list 2013–2017 rearsets; Hotbodies lists MGP rearsets for the Ninja 250R/300R 2008–2017. Woodcraft's eccentric footpeg lists 2008–2017. Ninja 400 rearsets do not fit.
Also in the upgrade order for: Aprilia RSV4, BMW S1000RR, Kawasaki ZX-10R, Suzuki GSX-R1000, Yamaha R1, Yamaha R7, Yamaha R9, Triumph Street Triple 765, KTM 390 Duke, Kawasaki Ninja 400 & Ninja 500, Kawasaki Z400, Yamaha R3.
