I got a request from a board member here (triple R) to design a billet Aluminum rearset plate that would work with the stock Suzuki rearsets. He wanted something that would give him a lot more adjustment for more aggressive track riders who were still running stock rearsets.

So I'm making a set up, and he will be trying them out and give a full review. Hopefully they will give him what he is looking for, and become available for anyone that would be interested.
They will fit 06-09 600 and 750's.
Here is a cad model of the right side plate.

Now that is really sweet. Count me in on this one if it comes available because I often thought about this also.

I'm VERY interested in a set of these!... but what do you plan to do for the shift lever? It can only go back so far... If you adjust the rearsets back too far without an option for the lever, small footed folk ain't gonna be able to reach the lever.

Can you indicate where teh OEM three holes are approximately compared to your plate? I am interested for sure.

FWIW, this should also work for the OEM replacement style rearsets I am sure....... like the woodcrafts, for this model bike.

If you notice, my holes are staggered which should give you a bunch more options. Most aftermarket rearset company's just put all the holes in a row. I will be testing a set out very soon, and another member here will be as well. If they work as planned, they will become available for sure!
And yes, some aftermarket rearsets may work as well as Joe said. I will keep you guys posted on this. And if the lever is an issue, I can make that available too.

Thanks

Granted, but I am wanting to know where the range lies and in what direction from OEM. That is why I asked where the OEM holes would be approximately.

Id like more adjustment from OEM. But for instance if the all the adjustment is lower and behind the OEM three holes, I may not be able to utilize it.

Ok Joe. The RED holes would be very close to the stock pattern. All of the Blue holes are the ones I added to the plates for adjustability. (sp?)

Hey i know someone who would be more then willing to try these out for you if you want.
PM and let me know

If those are fairly close, I might still be interested then, for the upper forward most adjustment. what price point are you expecting :dunno

ok, here they are. Sorry about the crappy pix of them installed on the bike. It is getting dark out, and I got limited lighting.
They fit up beautiful! :cheers

How much further up and back does that push it?

DottoreItalia
12-12-2009, 03:32 PM
They look great however what about the shift lever? Does the stock shift lever work with all rearset settings?

I'm still really looking forward to the finished product and pricing. Keep us all posted.

Great job

Any plans to expand the model support range? I noticed that most of the stuff you're making is just for the 06-07 600/750.

I am a size 10-1/2 shoe and I have no problem hitting the gearshift lever.
On the most furthest setting upward and back, you are looking at a 1/2" up and 1/2" back.

Yes, for sure. In this particular case, I had a board member (triple R) request me to make these for him. I told him that I would design them and give him a set to test out and do a review on them here on the board. I do cater to the newer bikes because the 06-09 600 and 750's cover a lot of bikes.
I own an 06 750, so it is easy for me to design and test out my products.
For me to break into doing other Yr. models, it requires me to purchase the stock part, get some basic dimensions, and create my unique designs around them. And I am not opposed to doing that. Some things take a lot of time to design and to get just the way you want them.

So, if there is something that you think you want, PM me and we can talk about it. :cheers

That's freaking awesome :punk Any problem with the heel guards rubbing anywhere in the position you've got them on in the pics?

Nope, not at all. I have them on the most rear and highest position. Tomorrow, I will put them on the most forward and lowest position and see how that works.
The left side is no problem, but I want to make sure on the right side, it clears the muffler.
But that is not a big deal, cause most want them to be further back and upwards anyway.
So if the holes that are more forward have an issue with the canister, I will just omit them holes on a production run of these. I'm pretty sure they are a bit more forward then the stock hole at that position.

Keep in mind that if you have aftermarket rearsets, and you are still using the stock adjustment plates, then my new plates will also work... :punk

Just an idea. Would the plate here fail before the frame tab there in a crash or will it break away as is. I'm not that famlier with that part of the 06-09 bike. Buy if the frame tend to break first, why not make a failure pt on the plates to save the frame
like I said, a thought

Never seen the tab (on the frame) break on stock sets or after market sets. The rear set itself tends to get damaged before the plate or the tabs do (or at least what I have seen).

I'll be testing these out for Brendan on the street & track and will do a full review. I was planning on testing these out on my street 750 w/ Sato sets (Sato sets use stock plates) but I just sold the bike. :cheers

While talking to Brendan about some of his products I suggested producing plates that give more adjustment to the stock sets. Although the stock plates are adjustable, I've found that with them up and back (fullest) I still end up dragging peg through a few turns @ the track.

A few reasons I wanted Brendan to produce these:

Lots of trackday riders & racers use stock sets (cheap to replace and easy to find) yet the stock plates don't give you the right ergonomics you're looking for. If you like a more aggressive riding position these are a cheap alternative to after market sets. I've looked EVERYWHERE and only found 1 other source that makes after market plates (for 06+ 600/750) and they only have 1 adjustment (1 inch back & 1 inch up).

I hope these solve my problem through a few turns. A full (street) review will be up and posted when I get these plates in the mail and tested. I'll also be doing a track review when track season comes around.

that was an issue on the 01-03 bikes.... maybe the 04/05 too not sure. but it is not an issue on the 06 and up bikes. The rearset gives, or even the plate bends, but the frame is usually untouched because of the way it mounts up.

Looking forward to seeing a price. I've got a slight bend in my stocker one and it drives me nuts. Didn't know the Woodcrafts didn't include this plate.

Here is a pic of where the stock plate would be VS the highest and most upward position using my new billet plate. It is a good 1/2" back and a bit more than 5/8" up from the stock plate.
And the radius on the top of my plate flows very nicely with the heel guard too at this position.
My plates will give you 10 different settings!

Sato doesn't either. The Sato rear sets allow 3 adjustments on the actual set itself, then you can still adjust them on the stock plates. If your after market sets dont include plates, these can be very helpful. :cheers

They won't fit. If you look around the internet you can find a variety of rear set plates for 05 or older GSXR 600/750/1000. That is why Brendan had these made! Because know when makes em! :cheers

I sent a set out to board member Triple R today. He will be testing these out and giving a full review. He lives in a warm climate, so this is a good thing where he can actually put them to the test.

Pending the review, these will for sure become available for anyone interested...:cheers
BTW, I am always looking for folks to test out my new products. This can mean a very good discount on your part, or even get it for free as a person to review my new stuff.

For example: You might want a product that I don't offer at the time because your bike is a different yr than the yrs. I cover. Well you can contact me, and we can work on getting it going, and you could be the first person to test the new product out. It ends up working out for both of us. :cheers

is there any way you could make one for the k1-k3 750? i've looked at my bike and don't know how it'd be possible.
