cafe racer rear controls

Together with the handlebars, the cafe racer rearsets are essential elements in the transformation of a motorcycle into a cafe racer.

The cafe racer rearsets are located further back and higher than the stock footpegs, allowing the rider to adopt a more aggressive and sporty riding position .

The cafe racer style originated in the UK in the 1950s and 1960s and was popularized by young riders who wanted to modify their motorcycles for speed and style. Cafe racers generally have a stripped-down appearance, with low handlebars, a clamshell saddle and minimal bodywork. They are known for their nimble handling and quick acceleration.

Adding cafe racer rearsets to a motorcycle allows the rider to shift their weight forward , which can improve the ride and handling of the motorcycle . However, it can also make the riding position more uncomfortable, as the rider's legs are positioned higher and further back than on a standard motorcycle in a pure café racer spirit.

The cafe racer rearsets offered here are made of type 6061 aluminum . They have non-slip footrests and rubber lever tips to prevent damage to shoes.
