Best rearsets for the Panigale V4

Normally I would always recommend CNC Racing, then Lightech. But in this case I think I would recommend the new Gilles Tooling design. They actually have the most adjustments to them and go as low as 1.4 inches. And the best part about them is you dont have to unscrew anything to adjust them. This is the newest design to any rear sets on the market. You just push and rotate to where you want them to be. Here is a link to the gilles tooling site. I will shoot you a PM Rearset MUE2, schwarz

Is there a particular torque setting for the torx 45 adjustment screw in the centre of the red circle or just hand tighten?

Here is a video showing the gilles tooling install. They pretty much come fully assembled in the box.

This video was the main reason after which I bought these rearsets apart from other users praising them here in the forum .I understand that they come all set up to install but my question was about tightening the t45 screw after adjustment.I checked the manual and I think it is 20nm .Thanks for your reply

If I am not mistaken the manual did say 20nm. But 20nm is 14.75ft lbs. At that point the guys who bought these from me told me they just hand tightened them because they worked on so many bikes and parts. That such a low pressure can be hand tightened. And they knew what over tightening feels like. One dude told me when he tightened it. Once it was almost not moving and about stiff. He just gave it a slight twist just to rotate it a little. But didnt over tighten so that the screw stripped. Same on many other parts. I do the same as well. Its when the torque #'s start getting above 20 or 25 I begin using a torque wrench. So far after all these years Ive never had a issue. Well no I take it back. No matter how much I follow Harley oem or after market parts torque specs they always loosen even with lock tight. I go over my harley once a money. Then again I have a S&S 124 Twin cam motor with high compression and my full clutch basket assembly has 49 teeth and my custom cycle engineering although are the best front and rear motor mounts on the market. They cause the bike to vibrate more than usual lol

Yes 20Nm. And I used a bit of blue loctite on every thread.
One thing nobody mentions, after rotating the rearset arm to desired position, depending on how big a change, you may also want to similarly rotate the (folding) footpeg so that it still folds towards the rear at about 45°. Very quick and easy but it is a second adjustment.

rear set pegs that rotate front to back with height adjustment is crazy to me.

“Crazy” as in you wouldn’t trust it?

crazy as in:
+I want my foot peg to be higher, cool now it further back or closer to the front also... these adjustments should be independent - always

I think he means the inability to adjust vertical and horizontal positions independently.

If so then I agree… Unless they just happen to offer a comfortable position

Having just said that I’m still intrigued by the idea of Motocorse rearsets with matching rearsets supports [emoji52]

Any thoughts on the Spider SBK rearsets with side frame plates?

Thanks DucatiKev Those were the ones that I were thinking about ....do they lower the pegs more than stock and also are the pegs longer?

Yes to both

I like the look of these at least in pictures. Did you have any fitting difficulties with the Gilles? As Topolino requested, any clearance problems when the sidestand is up? Do you need to buy any parts additional to the MUE2-D01 kit such as brake light switch?

No extra parts required…shifts are very smooth with a very positive feedback .The tech(not the dealer) who worked on my bike showed me .A slightest touch on the shift lever and the link rod moves(basically no play) and then he took me to the other Panigale bike with rearsets from a very renowned name and showed me the play.The tech himself is a very good track rider and his shop is very well known in our area.He has pretty much installed all the major rearsets names and has worked on most bikes(especially European) .They are very well built according to him with a lot of functionality.He is pretty honest and upfront with me and would have told me about the negatives as well.I myself asked earlier in this forum about the adjustability/torque so that I don’t over tighten any bolt.
