Full details

The Gilles VCR38GT Adjustable Rearset is designed for track day enthusiasts and performance-focused street riders who demand precision ergonomics and mechanical reliability. Its primary advantage is the immense level of customization, allowing riders to fine-tune their foot position and lever geometry for optimal control; however, the complex nature of its many adjustable parts requires careful initial setup and periodic maintenance to ensure all fasteners remain secure.

FAQs

Can I use these for street riding?

Yes, the VCR38GT includes an integrated brake light micro switch, making it fully street-legal.

Does this rearset support reverse shifting?

Yes, the system is designed to support both standard and reverse (GP) shift patterns.

How do I adjust the footrest position?

The footrest position is adjusted via the central clamping screw system, allowing for custom placement along the adjustment plate.

What maintenance is required?

Regular inspections of all fasteners for tightness and cleaning the bearing pivot points are recommended to ensure long-term performance.

Are the individual parts replaceable?

Yes, Gilles typically offers replacement components for their rearset systems. Contact your authorized dealer for specific spare parts.

Troubleshooting

Excessive play in the shift lever

Check the double ball-bearing pivot to ensure the securing nut is properly tightened and the bearings are free of debris.

Brake light not activating

Adjust the position of the integrated micro switch or check the wiring connections at the switch terminals.

Stiff shifting

Ensure the shift rod is properly aligned and the rolling toe piece is clean and spins freely.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-grade, lightweight, and durable construction
  • Highly customizable ergonomics for any riding style
  • Extremely smooth lever action due to double ball-bearings
  • Supports both standard and reverse shifting configurations

Cons

  • Requires professional installation for optimal safety
  • Multiple adjustment points require regular check-ups
  • Higher complexity compared to fixed-position rearsets

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the Gilles VCR38GT should be performed by a qualified mechanic to ensure all pivot points and clamping screws are torqued to the correct specifications. Because this unit relies on a central clamping screw for many adjustments, it is vital to use medium-strength thread-locker (Loctite) on all threaded fasteners during initial setup.

Care Tips

  1. Periodically check all bolts for vibration-induced loosening, especially after track use.
  2. Keep the ball-bearing pivot points clean and lightly lubricated to maintain smooth operation.
  3. Regularly inspect the brake light micro switch to ensure proper connectivity.
  4. Clean the anodized surfaces with a mild soap solution; avoid harsh chemicals that may degrade the finish.
