Rainy days are for staying in the garage and putting on some Ottimoto rear sets. As I was installing them, I took some measurements to compare the original setup to the end result.
Starting with the shifter side, a line is connected from the front axle to the rear which will be the reference point for all elevation measurements.
Stock rear set arrangement:
The top of peg measures around 2” to the string line.
The shifter measures 1-1/8” to the string line. So the height distance between the foot peg and the shifter is around the 1” mark.
The distance from the shifter to the foot peg is around 6”.
Using a couple of hex keys inserted in the bolts attaching the stock rear sets to the frame as a reference, the foot peg appears to be 2-1/2” rearward.
Ottimoto rear set arrangement:
The top of the Ottimoto foot peg measures around 3-1/2” to the string line. Here the Ottimoto is an additional 1-1/2” higher than the stock foot peg. The holes are approximately 3/8” apart and the Ottimoto was mounted two holes up from the bottom. If mounted on the bottom hole, the difference would still be an inch higher than the stock configuration.
The shifter measures 2-1/4” to the string line. The height distance between the two is around 1-1/4” which is pretty close to the original setup.
The distance of the Ottimoto from the shifter to the foot peg appears to be around 5-1/4” which is slightly shorter by 3/4” than the stock ones.
The distance from the rear set bolts to frame to the foot peg is 4-1/4” which sets the foot peg back 1-3/4” from the stock position. The holes closest to the front are only 3/4” away so had the rear set been mounted in those holes, the setback is only 1” difference, so attempting to achieve a stock configuration with the Ottimoto’s is not going to happen.
To summarize, the Ottimoto mounted in the third hole from the bottom of the setback plates and the most rearward holes moves the foot peg 1-3/4” rearward and 1-1/2” higher.
