Right, your tactic works too

Yeah, the aftermarket ones usually come with their own shift rod so the length is right in the middle of the adjustment range and they don't interfere with the frame and such.

After riding on the track with stock pegs and not being able to hang off as far as I would have liked due to the pegs not having enough grip, I'd like some woodcraft rearsets.

No joke. Try adjusting the pedal further up like I said in the first post, you'll like it even better. So easy to get my foot under that bitch. And clicking down on it is easy as pie.

I already went through all then when I did it like two years ago. Even dremeled me a nice little notch for the shift lever so it wouldn't rub the middle fairing.

I don't think mine rubs anywhere. You mean on your street plastics your lever was rubbing on the fairing?

I just removed a little bit of a foam piece to allow it to move easier

How things come around. We used to swap bikes in the early 70's and riders would always ask "what's the shift pattern?" All the old British bikes used "one-up and four-down." Although my friend's black Norton Interstate, one of the most beautiful bikes I ever saw, was (as I remember) one-down and four- up.
