rear sets?

[mas_imp]

I've searched a few different ways and can't find any threads already.

I was wondering if anyone has put a set of aftermarket rear sets on? Would this make any difference in comfort for a taller rider?

Gentlemen,

I'm pretty sure it would make a difference in comfort for a taller rider. The bike would be less comfortable. The CB11 already has fairly rear set foot pegs for a standard MC. More rear set than vintage CB750's. If you do rear sets your knees will be bent more, you will most likely want to combine rear sets with a lower handlebar, you'll carry more weight on your feet and wrists and less on your butt.

The best way to check out how well you might like it is to sit on some sport bikes for 15 min or so. Cheers.

I was kind of hoping you'd chime in on this CB. I'm planning to do the CB500F bar/mirror swap you did to hopefully help a bit on windy highway rides since as it is now on my stock bike i lean forward when I get up to speed to try to fight the buffeting of the wind. I thought maybe a combo of the lower bars and rear sets might help some. Also, as you pointed out, there'd be less weight on my butt which gets numb/sore pretty quick on the stock seat.

My first bike was a '77 CB750 and I don't remember my knees being as bent as they are on the 1100.
