REAR SET
IS A BRAKE AND GEAR SHIFT THAT ARE SET BACK AND HIGHER THAN STOCK.
analogy would be like a jockey on a race horse vs a cowboy on a standard saddle,

any pics of your ride we always need to see pics

Here you go.. check this thread out:

Also, If you are gonna put rearsets on other than Raask or Tarozzi, make sure you use the brake lever & peg from an 99-02 Yamaha R6 and a shifter from a Gixxer.., I found that this combo works best...
