Racing Footrest

[naughty]

I was wondering if its a good idea for super4 to have racing footrest? i know afew shops local and in jb that has racing footrest for super4. Its not the type only for the riding bt its the whole set togethere for the pillon as well. So wat im askin is for does that has racing footrest on their super4 to share the 2cents about the PROS and CONS of it..before i decied if i'll go ahead with it..thanxs guys!

[inspire85]

yeah i'm also interested.. those who had installed b4 pls share.. thx..

[nesquik]

im currntly using brackets fix together wit the original footrest...the pillion footrest now is abit higher,n when i corner my shoe does not scrap the road anymore...

[nesquik]

motoworld selling at 280,jb selling at 300 to 400 if i not mistaken...

[hellsfury]

fixed it last yr,

 

Pros: wont scrap your footrest easily cos its now higher

Changing gear is damn smooth and has got a light feeling(this is my perception)

Looks good.

saved my full system(not a single scratch) when i got hit by car and went down hard on the right. In a way it acts like a slider since its longer than stock.

 

Cons: rear brake is weaker(again this is my perception, some other bros may feel otherwise)

a lot of vibration.

[naughty]

thanxs for sharin bros!

 

since hellsfury shared that after havin the footrest installed it seems to hv alot of vibration. which isnt a good thing or feelin for that matter. btw bro wat type of racing footrest are u using and where did u get it done at/price..do share. any others willing to share??.thanxs

[BioMoDiFIed]

one DIY solution for reducing(not eliminating) vibration is to install rubber washers..it wud absorb some of the vibrations...

[hellsfury]

was using the motoworld one.

 

i think BioMoDiFIed's solution should do the trick.

 

btw 1 more plus point, the footrest is freaking light, and u will be surprised at how heavy the stock one is.

Wow...Racing footrest...Should be nice sia...But normally i go touring de...So vibrations are a big NO NO ! lolx...

how about the leg positioning? is it comfortable? I know it's up to individual,just wanna a review from those fixed it.

[whyzee]

jus got mine. at motoworld. ard 280.

 

At first, not too used as the legs are not so relaxed. but after a short while, very nice to kick gear liao. and also, toes wun scrape floor when corner. I like the new posture alot. lean forward naturally. dont have to purposely lean. muahahaha

 

hmmm. talking about rubber end. any bros found and? fixed it?

im thinking of fixing balancer leh. will work?

[naughty]

do u experience vibrations and weak rear brake?

[whyzee]

do u experience vibrations and weak rear brake?

 

weak rear brakes? ermm. my bike always have weak rear brakes... but i like it that way, cos last time skidded with my 2b bike, when i kanchiong, rear brake press too hard. and also, some s4 bros told me, s4 engine brake very good. use engine brake.

 

ok. enuf excuses..

it is indeed abit more difficult to tap harder. cos of the posture.

 

as for vibrations. yes. more vibrations. once i hit vtec, at 8rpm, the vibes quite abit. but higher up, it reduce again. im trying to install stoppers or whatever, to c if i can fix this issue...

 

photos huh? will try to take it later.
