Hello all, I have been looking for adjustable foot pegs for my 1000rr. I don't want to spend big bucks for a lower set. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I searched all over when I was looking to add rearsets and there is no such animal. You can go with the Woods or Vortex for the least inexpensive. Sato and Cyclecat are a bit more. The Sato's are damn well worth the money -- that's what I ended up getting.

Two questions. Are you concerned about the extra linkage on those rearsets? It seems like there is an extra thing that can break or malfunction now. Second, can you make the GP shift?

No -- the shift mechanism has ball bearings instead of the bushing-like type that's stock. Shifts really smooth so there seems to be less stress on the linkages. The hiem joints also have a tiny oil reservoir to keep them smooth.
And yes to the GP pattern -- which is the main reason I got the rearsets. The smoother shifting is just icing on the cake.

sorry if I sould like a tard but is the gp pattern where you shift down to shift up. if that makes sense. By the way Im wanting something that I can lower a bit not raise like most aftermarket sets seem to do.

Ya, GP is just reverse shift pattern. Most people want to raise the pegs for extra clearance so good luck finding one that sits further down. I think on the Sato's the closest position to stock is like 10mm up and same front to back.

There is a company called TCM that makes custom lowering plates for stock rearsets. He has them for Gixxers, some Aprilias, and others. Of course, he doesn't make them for the cbr1000rr. He told me if he had enough interest in them maybe he'd make a few sets. Send him an email and tell him you're interested too, maybe we can get him to make some for us!

I think its time to talk the wife into her own bike

. If I could just adjust my brake pedal down more I would be set... I`m afraid rearsets would crunch me beyond comfort.

well I found these HRS3 lower sets that can be lowered and moved back as well as raised. but $535 is a little rich for my blood right now.
