if 09 is anything like the 07-08, you need rearsets to do it unless you want to ziptie some tubes out of the way in an awkward spot. I didn't switch til I got my rearsets.

ahh... well if the stock pegs are anything like the Kawi's... they'll be gone quick. didn't realize how much I hated those till i got my Vortex... felt much more stable.. and I never even went through proper twisty's with the stock ones...

stock ones were fine with me, I didn't replace until my little barber slide.

fair enough... I really don't care about the GP thing... I need to focus on leaving stop lights

I switched to GP on the SV and really liked it. Took a couple of hours riding to truely get used to it.. The most common mis shift for me was first.

I'd do it on the Buell, but waiting for the kit to come out for those w/o a racing license, as I haven't gotten mine yet.

are you serious? they require a racing license to buy the kit?

most all the "racing" accessories for the 1125 require a racing license, or you to know the right people. all the people at my dealership are dumbasses and not able to figure shit out.. so yeah, I'd need a license and to get it direct from the source, for now at least.

Thinking that will change as the model grows and gets out more.
