rearsets

[Luddite]

Hi Frosty.

The quick answers are "No" and "No"!

As far as a return spring is concerned, you can get a suitable replacement, for example:

but it's not necessary for the safe functioning of the brake; it's only for feel really. I posted this earlier on another thread:

When you remove the standard pegs, you lose that spring. A lot of rearsets don't come with a replacement so it's hard to gauge how much pressure you're applying. Some rearsets do have a small conical coil return spring like this one from Sato http://satoracing.com/brakereturnspring.htm that fits on or in the master cylinder and that can improve the feel.

My current rearsets don't have a spring and I had thought about fitting one but soon got used to the feeling so didn't bother. Now they feel perfectly natural.

Hope that helps.

For the brake light switch, you'll need a hydraulic version such as this one:

It's disappointing but perhaps not surprising that the pictures used to advertise these rearsets contain items that aren't included i.e. the brake light switch.

Thanks for the insights! I really havent made up my mind which rearset to get. Having second thoughts on getting chinese rearsets. Maybe considering the geicko rearsets from italy.

Well, let us know what you eventually decide on and post up some pictures.

Have you checked out the Gecko website yet www.geckoracing.it ? It looks like you'll have to order a brake light switch separately but they only charge €4 for one, which is pretty reasonable.

Also, they say they'll give you a €10 refund if you send them a review with photos, so that would pay for the switch!
