Rearsets and affect on stunting?

Anyone here use rearsets? I figure they probably won't make too much of a difference when stunting, but just wanted to see peoples experience with them. My guess is that most of you guys probably don't even have them.

my bike came with vortex rearsets on it.. I took them off and sold them before I even rode the bike.. the rear brakes are GARBAGE with them

I'm guessing the non-folding pegs on most of them would be a big problem.

Yeah, non folding is no good when your sliding with your leg under the bike. Plus they don't bend up out of the way when you drop it.

hmmm, well the woodcraft ones can accomadate stock pegs and stock pedals. So in that case it would still be able to fold back. It puts the pegs back 1 inch and up about an inch. I gotta do something cause draggin' toe scares the crap outta me. Man why can't I just stick with one thing? I love the track and I love learning stunts and I'm trying to do it all with one bike. I guess the real solution is two bikes eh?

If you're dragging toe and nothing else, you're riding with your foot position wrong.

That is probably most of your problem. CBR600's(maybe not the rr) do however, have shitty gound clearence when it comes to curnering, so those folding rearsets you mentioned should work good for you.

It's a ground clearance issue. I had my feet way back and against the bike as much as I could and I'd still scrape. Of course this is on the track. This doesn't really happen on the street so much.

Damn I didn't think they'd make that big of a difference. The woodcraft ones go back 1.25" and up 1".

Woodcraft ones can accept stock pegs which fold. So knowing that do you thing the position of the pegs will make a big difference?

on the 900rr the tbr rearsets just move the stock stuff back and up all you do is add this piece look at em on the web
try rearsets(simple ones that use your stock stuff) youll see
it wont help a pro but itll help amatures learn stuff.........but then again you dont need em you can do it without em......but it helped me when i started and i still got em
