FAQ
How do I figure out the left and right side nets?
To determine left and right side nets, always place the straps that go from side to side over the straps that go from front to back.
How tight should I adjust the nets?
Adjust the nets to be loose enough so that when your heels are in the accelerating position, the net doesn’t have excessive tension on them.

MAINTENANCE TIPS AND NETTING CARE
-
Periodically check the socket cap bolt that holds the nerf and heelguard pieces. Add this to your scheduled maintenance
-
Each set comes with 2 left side nets and 2 right side nets.To figure out the left and right side nets , you should always place the straps that go from side to side OVER the straps that goes from front to back. This is a big help for durability . Use the image here to see how to position the nets ( note where the shorter strap goes)
-
How to adjust the nets once installed ? Too loose and the nets will catch the ground , too tight and your boots will wear them out so leave them loose enough so that when you have your heels in them in the accelerating position, the net doesn’t have a big tension on them.
-
After motos note where you can see wear and adjust accordingly.

FOOTPEGS The F43 footpegs offer a lower position and also serve as the net holding tabs. The bottom part of the peg can also hit the ground over time and get bent , same as the aluminum net tabs used by the competition but they cant be straightened back like our footpeg can. When you want to bring it back to looking new again, remove the nets from the peg , remove the bolts and place the peg on a workbench and hit it with a hammer to straighten the peg back. Re-install the peg and nets.
