Trick for Woodcraft R6 Rearsets

[BrianC]

I installed my rearsets today and discovered a little trick for re-attaching the brake-light switch. I don't know if others have already figured it out, and I know the racers on here don't use their bikes on the street anyway, but for someone who wants to use these rearsets and doesn't want to buy the banjo bolt pressure switch, it is a cool trick to keep your rear brake light. This was for the 06+ R6 rearsets, and I'm not sure it will work for all bikes, but hopefully someone will find it helpful.
So.... on the backside of the rearset, there are 2 threaded holes for mounting the stock heel guard, which is unneeded on that side anyway... so I just used one of those holes to mount the brake light switch assembly onto the rearset, kind of like it is mounted on the stock rearsets. I re-used my stock brake lever so I just re-attached the spring that pulls the switch on, and that was it. If you use the Woodcraft lever, you'd probably be able to just drill a hole for the brake light switch spring.
Also, I must say the rearsets are awesome and put my knees right where they should be... I was afraid that the slightly higher peg position would feel wierd, but it is perfect. Now I just have to get used to the gp shift.

actually I believe Woodcrafts are designed to accept stock brake pedals. its so you can have a spare to get you back on the track/road quickly.

The rearsets are designed to be able to re-use the stock pedal, but the issue w/these rearsets has been the myth that you have to buy a pressure sensing banjo bolt from Woodcraft to act as your rear brake light switch. While I was installing them I noticed this easy way to keep your stock switch, and because it is spring activated, the spring also acts as a return spring for the brake pedal. Some people would probably figure it out on their own, but alot of others might not.
