how about some pics of charlie's creations ?

I had some posted years and years ago, I'm pretty sure one or two of the racers that were on here had them. There are some pics left on my photo stream, but not necessarily of the rear sets. The ones where the 2 stroke motor is in the chassis are modified (linkage for shift, and hinge for kick starter). The pics with the stock motor use them pretty much as sold. They utilize the stock backwards facing shifter, and the stock rear brake lever. https://www.flickr.com/photos/rashmaste ... 366819517/ It's the repsol by the way.

I have the Charlie Napier rearsets and I can only use them in the lowest/stock height position. They do crash well but the pegs he supplies aren't grippy enough for me.

I forgot to mention...the last race of the season...last lap (iirc)...getting passed by the SV650's...I got hit.
I went down. Bike has a good bit of damage.

Right lower fork leg broke in half. Tube is bent.
Brake pedal trashed.
Right rear-set broke...possibly bent mount tabs of frame.
Brake lever broke.
Fairing stay bent, some tabs might not come back.
Plastic on gauges broke (on right side) and filled with dirt\gravel...not sure if they work.
Fork oil leaked and soaked the front tire (as it sat in the pits), I didn't know the fork had broke.
Brake pads soaked in fork oil as well.

Here is a vid.
Skip to 8:14...after the crash, the video will go to a slo-mo.
