I had yet to unpack the rest of it.  Got too excited the the major components.  Will post pictures assempled and them on the bike.

Let's hope I never find out.  Been down the road with a tipped bike.  Not so much fun!

It would be great if you are able to measure the adjustment range of these, compared to stock peg position

So I was able to install the rearset really easily.  The brake side dropped in perfectly with a minor trip to the hardware store to grab a pin the secure the rear brake pin in place.  The only issue I have is that rear brake light doesn't have a place mount to the rearset (I will have to post int he tech section as how to fix).  The clutch side was a breeze to toss on.  

Ergonomics are totally different than the stock setup.  Took me a while to get used to my foot position when riding to work this morning  You can adjust the the toe peg in four different positions.  Additionally, you can adjust the angle/height of the rear peg in any one of 10 positions.  The toe peg distance to  shift gears is a little longer but shifting feels a lot easier, smoother and finding neutral is a sinch.  Position wise, it still feels a little awk, which I expected.  I think I need to go back and adjust the angle and toe peg positions to find my comfort setting on my clutch and brake.  


Pics soon.

Measurements?

Brake light: when is it really required? We hardly ever use only the rear brake.
If you must have one, a banjo fitted pressure switch is ~$25

You have one shift adjuster by the rod mounting and another by the toe peg.

Woomnie,
Bike is looking good man.  I gotta get some of my mods done so mine doesn't look bad parked next to yours, lol.

A couple small suggestions:
I noticed your speedymoto sprocket cover is still all silver.  You should try and get that powdered yellow to match the belt covers on the other side.  Also, I see you still have your frame sticker on the brake side.  You should peel it off so it doesn't ugly up the frame.  I took mine off a while back and it was pretty easy.  The only time consuming part was getting the remaining glue off, but I used some goof-off.

Hey, btw, weren't you going to wrap your forks?  Just wondering because I thought you already did it.  I haven't done mine yet since I'm working on getting my parts powdered, but I plan on doing it pretty soon hopefully.

A bunch of folks are headed to my place on Saturday if you two want your forks professionally wrapped. I charge one six pack of something not made by Bud, Coors, Miller, or Corona.

The two sides look different regarding height?

Brake master pushrod at an awkward angle?

To me, it seems like these rearsets have a nice adjustment range  

When feet are positioned backwards, the ankle joint angle changes - feet point more downward, which might require you to lower the toe pegs in relation to the foot pegs. If that makes any sense.....

Artful,
  I would definitely be game for that.  Hopefully I can get my parts back from Figure Engineering before and put the bike back together because right now my bike is without top triple, handlebar clamps, exhaust hangers or rearsets.

You are correct on all accounts.  The tick tick of the clock this morning forced me to postpone adjustments until tonight.  I worry a bit about the brake master pushrod being at that awk. angle.  Will spend most of the evening addressing that and figuring out the correct angles.  Thank God for warm weather in DC this week  [moto]

Cool, shoot me a PM if you can make it to the northeast side of Balmer on Saturday around noon. That goes for you too Wunmi (or however the hell you spell that haha).
