VFR750 RC24 6X

The Stock VFR footpegs are low and need to go. It's time for some rearsets. This is no simple task as nobody makes any for the RC24 VFR750. There is a very good reason for this: they are asymmetrical. For reasons only known to Honda.

Of course it could not be that simple and straight forward or the forums wouldn't be full of unanswered questions and half assed descriptions of other peoples solutions. The back brake The simplest answer is to reduce the size of the VFR's caliper bracket so it can line up with the CBR600 wheels smaller di...
