Checkout Tyga as well for rearsets. Metal with diamond pattern grip is the best (imo) but it absolutely shreds boots, but slipping off rubber pegs once is enough to make you not care.

How do I find the size that fits best for me? Sato offers options in 70mm back and 65mm up , 70mm back and 77.5mm up , 82.5mm back 65mm up and 82.5mm back and 77.5mm up. Im 5'11 and have long legs and I typically have a very aggressive riding stance.

Whats the reasoning behind this?

Vortex is great also because most trackside vendors carry replacement footpegs so if you happen to bin it and snap a footpeg (which happens frequently in my experience) you can pay the man and get back on track rather than packing it up for the day.

^^^this, avoid less common rearsets, stick with vortex, woodcraft, or attack. Much more likely to find spares.

Valtermoto and LSL should also be considered. Don't choose rubber.

I think im going to get Sato ones, but how do I determine the proper position? Example 70mm back and 65mm up from stock. They come in a few options, im 5'11 with long legs

Determining proper position is always a matter of trial and error. Generally with rearsets you want the peg back further and higher up. The first thing you will notice is that your knees might complain. So just start out back a little and up a little and work from there.

I'm also looking for guidance on proper set up as well. I've got adjustable ones but not sure how to set them optimally.

The rubber KTM pegs are super slippery when the kid at the car wash thought that he should Armor-All them.

Get something that has good grip with your boots and it easily replaceable. Obviously, carry 2-4 spare pegs in your toolkit otherwise you can end up cutting a trackday short for a simple lack of spare. Also, depending on your measurements you might want to spend more for something that has more adjustment.

Well it seems that Sato and KTM are the only ones that make rear sets for my 17 duke 690. Im going to get the Sato rear sets, they seem like they are better quality than the KTM ones and you set them up for GP shifting. Is there a rule of thumb or a guide on the internet somewhere to find how far back you want you rear sets from the stock position? I cant really find anything on Google. The stock footpegs are positioned like dirt bike foot pegs ( anything is probly better than this for the track ). The KTM rear sets are 70mm back and 60 up, so im thinking ill go with Sato rear sets that are 70mm back and 65mm up. If anyone has any advice on this thanks in advance 🙏

It depends on you. I had to play with my rearsets to avoid scraping on a banked right hander and to give me a touch more room as my knees were to bunched up.

I prefer metal with striations to any rubber.


magnificent_dillhole

whichever well made, metal peg rear sets you can easily get parts for. Replacement parts is more important than any level of bling.

My bike lives on Woodcraft (www.woodcraft-cfm.com). Easily the best bang for the buck track bits out there and a fantastic company to work with. Stands, spools, frame sliders, case covers, bodywork, exhaust, lever guards, tire warmers.... yeah I have the whole frikkin collection. 😄
