Rear sets are a term for aftermarket foot pegs and foot peg hangers, which are normally higher and further back than standard road ones. Hence the name Rear Sets! Clip ons are attachable penis' the you use when......errr...sorry, wrong clip ons......Clip Ons are handlebars mate! :D

Rear sets change the weight distribution and ground clearance of your bike. The clip ons should make you lean further forward over the front wheel changing the weight distribution and handling of the bike. Both should also be a weight saving over the original product.
Remember, half the people you know are below average.

Not a dumb question, I've been meaning to ask myself. I hear all this bling talk and have no idea what it all means, lol.

Thanks Green10 :)

Whole new language nowadays.
I had to ask what clipons were and did in the road trip thread a couple of weeks ago.
Rear huggers, rearsets, fender eliminators, blah blah blah :D
Never heard of it back in the old, old, olden days :lol:
