Gilles Tooling rearsets groupbuy

[Max Kool]

Living near the Baltic Sea, I bet buying directly from Gilles in Germany may be the best option for you @Fuse5

Thanx, yes i will. There was a small opportunity where i would be in US in 3 weeks which is cancelled by the president

Rebook your ticket with my name on it from the UK. I'll get it for you as we're still allowed in at the moment.

[Fuse5]

Just for your information..
There will be no passenger pegs available at the same design..

Did somedody get a a opportunitity for the rear axle nut yet

 

[Max Kool]

Rizoma apparently has passenger pegs adapers, and pegs.

Which rear axle nut btw? The protectors, or a replacement one? (apparently one from a Buell -forgot the type- bolts straight up)

 

[Fuse5]

uppps.. that one..


to something simular (Titan)

Like the Gilles one (with safety system) but they won´t make it after request
(we still got a different axle thread like others )

..back to the the rearsets

You should be able to find a distributer in your country..

Wasn´t impossible.. but not avaliable ( US-Delivery? )
thankx to ! ..another FTR Rider (unknown over here at the moment)

You could drill the rear axle where the C-clip is, and use a spring clip? I had that on one of our DR650's.

But matter of factly, I don't even know what the C-clip actually does on the FTR. It won't stop the nut from running loose if it were, and I would feel the wobbly loose axle way before it would run against the C-clip.

My Ducati didn't have one, nor a self locking nut, yet I felt totally safe...

 

[ferraiolo1]

There are a lot of bikes that don’t have locking axle nuts these days. No real reason for them if torqued properly.
I just throw some torque stripe on mine and ride.

only time you would need to safety one is if your racetrack requires it.

 

[Fuse5]

To drill a hole for a C-spring should be not the problem.. the C-Clip is to far away far safety ..imho
Just looking forward to get something for the axle thread which is not available.
Got someone over here who might do something.. takes time..

@ferraiolo1
for sure..

only looking arround better then standard one..

 

[mark.lb]

I think the C-clip is for safety. It prevents the axle nut from coming completely off the axle thread which could allow the axle to slide out of the wheel. I saw this happen one time many years ago on a friends HD Sportster.

 

[Max Kool]

I know what’s it for yes.
