I think the 04 or 05 GSXR1000 rearsets are only a couple mm from working... so most people shave a mm off each hole and they work.

Woodcraft. Although you need to use the stock levers.

Any rearset should work with an adapter plate. Just depends on how much you want to spend.

You mean a homemade adapter plate ? dont want to spend more than $225. The 04 suzuki gsxr 1000 ones look nice, i hope freestyle is right about them being off very little, but there not cheap.
I did just find these on ebay, but they both look like shift levers, weird looking brake lever.

I also found these that say there for a FZR but im not sure where to measure for the mounting holes distance on my bike, its in total pieces.

Why don't you measure the distance between mounting bosses on your frame?

Yeah i will have measure them. The guy in the UK said the rear master cylinder wouldnt work with his rear sets, or something like that, the guy dont give much information.

Yeah, it would probably require some kind of bracket to relocate the master cylinder. Woodcraft is the same way except they supply the mounting hardware.
What's wrong with stock rear-sets?

Stock Rearsets suckkkkkkkkkkkk. My spacing on my frame is 40 mm center to center on the mounting holes, or 1 5/8 ".

I guess I should have been more specific. Different rear-sets will have different features. What is it that you are hoping to accomplish by changing them?

What i want is for my feet to set back further than the stock ones, better grip on them, and better looking. Im just trying to do my hybrid top notch and i want new rearsets to go with it, my stocks are kinda beat up to.
Other than woodcraft i cant find anyone who makes rearsets for this bike, there is that guy in the Uk, but he seems like not to nice and dont want give me a measurement on his rearsets. So i guess it has to be rearsets from some other bike and make them fit my bike.

Woodcraft FZR rear-sets are located up and back from stock and have pretty aggressive grip. You could probably adapt some other levers to fit them. Alternatively, have you tried to contact China_racer about his rear-sets? Maybe he can help out.

+1 on Woodcraft and possibly using other levers. In fact, there may be Woodcraft levers for other bikes that might work. Just a thought...

Since I seem to recall him hanging up his leathers, I wonder if he might have more time now to make rearsets?
