Isn't this feature most of the reason to backstep?
"The stock position is too sensitive for sport driving," "I want more bank angle.etc. ......
You can change the position from the stock position, which is for everyone, to your own preference. I feel that this is quite an important feature.
For example, "driving a car".
Once you're in the driver's seat, why not slide the seat in and adjust it to your size?
Setting the position to suit your physique will make driving easier, and more importantlyI can drive with peace of mind.I think.
Same thing with the steps on the bike.Decide your riding postureIt is an important part. Depending on the person"It fits."Positions vary.

The stock steps have a non-slip surface, but the back steps are sharper and more finely machined than that.

【Merit 3】Luxury and custom look.

Most of the external back steps arecuttingMade in.
Simply put, it is "a method of creating the parts of a step by cutting them from a block of metal.
By the way, the genuine step is made by the method called "casting" which is made by pouring high temperature metal into the mold of the step shape.
(It's like pouring dough into a mold when you make taiyaki. ...... That kind of image.)
There is a wide variety of colors available from different manufacturers.

Disadvantages of backstepping

Due to the nature of the machining process, the product is cut from a block of metal during the production process.It takes time and effort.Not suitable for mass production.
And there's a lot of excess shavings coming off the lumps.The amount is high in terms of the many parts that are wasted.There are some disadvantages such as

Is there a case that the car will not pass inspection?

Depending on the backstep."The tip of the projection is sharp.If it is, it may not pass the vehicle inspection.
Also.Some backsteps are constructed so that the rear brake switch is not attached.Mainly, it is a back step etc. made for the use in the race.
In that caseI'm stepping on the rear brake, but "the brake lights don't come on!And you need to be careful because you'll end up in a situation where!

Tired after riding for a long time.

In order to secure the bank angle, the step position will be at the upper side when back stepping.
This will result in a tighter riding posture than stock, so if you are riding your bike for a long time, such as on a long-distance tour, you may find that theIt's exhausting: ......
But as I said in part 1 of the benefits, theComfortable position.If you find the right one, your fatigue will naturally be relieved.

Off to the track to do some impressions!
I wanted to run in the dry comfortably, but unfortunately it was raining ...... (or rather, a typhoon was coming ......)

  • The steps don't ...... slip!
  • I was riding in the rain and the steps didn't slide at all. ...... For some reason, there is a feeling of gusto at the tip of the steps.
    When I got home and took a closer look, I found that not only is there a jagged edge to the cutting, but the step tip is raised so that it bites into the boot when a load is applied.

  • It's got that shift feel that makes you go up and down for no reason!
  • As for the shifting feeling, it's now "light as a switch off the pedal"!
    Because of the characteristics of my vehicle, with the stock step, I had to put some effort to shift gears, so I felt that way even more.
    Since it doesn't require any extra power, it's also effective in reducing fatigue in city driving where you have to shift gears frequently!
    ...... As a side note, especially for vehicles with quickshifters and the like, it really does go in so smoothly that you might end up shifting gears unnecessarily because it feels so good, lol.

  • Dramatic change in direct control feeling!
  • The only way to adjust the position is to move the step. For this reason, there is no mounting base and it is a direct bolt-on structure to the frame.
    Thanks to the direct bolt-on construction to the frame and the high strength of the super duralumin material, the suspension movement can be felt directly.
    In addition, step load to the inside of the corner entry, step load to the outside of the corner exit ...... also changed to a position that made it easier to put the load on the bike, so the bike was easy to fall and easy to wake up.
    Amazing! It's a feeling you don't get with the stock steps.

This is what works! Step shape that allows you to step firmly

Installing a back step kills three birds with one stone.
