What brand of rearsets are you using? I hope whoever sold it to you told you that you need rearsets.

O FN great nope they seemed to miss that one.....I can't use rear sets my feet are to big and I don't like that they are not big enough....WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looks like I just wasted $500!!!! I should have bought the Dyno jet and saved the 250! Now the proble is I have to take the FN bike apart again to take off all the shit I just pluged in....I can't win.

Sorry bro, I'm sure you can send it back... Or sell it on the forums. You might want to look into a different brand other than dynojet.... When they work, they work great.... But I have had my fair share of issues with them....
Went through 3 on my 07.... They warranties the 2nd one but I had to pay for 3rd....$500 down the drain. Take a look at a few brands of rearsets, if you find one that fits your feet or are adjustable you'll be in business.

Seno is there rear sets out there that the shifter is out as much as the stock set up? I had the Gillis rear set and trying to stick your foot under the lever it kept hitting the kick stand. The rear set pegs neve seem to go out far enough as the stock pegs. Any thoughts?

Might consider trying to fab your own pegs for rearsets. Get a thick aluminum rod cut grips and drill a hole tap threads. just make sure it is strong enough and be aware that with the pegs sticking out stock length, you do not gain any corner clearance to speak of on the 14. The lean angle clearance comes from shorter pegs, not so much from higher pegs. Also, Vortex rearsets are a slight gain in weight over stock which is a little disappointing.
You might also consider welding an extra length onto Votex pegs.
