cafe rearsets

[skillzman1]

anybody got any good ideas for cafe rearsets...mechanical drum rear?
I found these on ebay...look pretty good...just have to come up with the linkages.

Not sure what to use for the brake side linkage.....what do you suppose would happen if I went with a cable setup on the rear?
Or is there a linkage that will fit over the old pivot hub?

I went that route on my XSR650 project - forget about it. Go here you'll pay the same in the end and no frustration. I have some loose parts from them you can have very very cheap.

Jim,
Correct me if I am wrong. But I don't think there is a kit for the 400. I know Omar has some plates. But I don't think you can get a Tarozzi kit for the lil' XS. I know I've been struggling with it for a while. I'm on version 3.0 now.

 

[skillzman1]

my thought was to get the universal kit..and then custom length rods along with the lever attchments on the 'fast from the past' site

 

[skillzman1]

I welded plates in the openings of the rear peg frame work approximately 3" long...this should allow for freedom to drill/mount where I like..and even room for adjustment...then I cut the rest of the rear frame work off...trying to get the tubing finished up for cosmetics.
As soon as I get the welding finished up I'll post pics

"my thought was to get the universal kit"

That's basically what I did. I was lucky enough to find "86 GSXR rearsets" on fleabay. What he didn't list was, they were all Tarozzi. I got them for $41 shipped, and the plates are now somewhere in a box. I machined my own, but I've yet to be completely satisfied with the placement. I too prolly should have welded up mounts. But I was trying to keep the frame stock for some odd reason. I then ran the brake rod directly from the pedal. Even though the rod is bent all cool. It's kind of hokey. I need to do a pedal mod so I can kick this non magic button model over. Things you don't think about as a racer.

There is a guy on Do the Ton who is just finishing prototyping universal rear sets he hopes to sell at $75 a pair.

Might be worth keeping an eye on...

 

[skillzman1]

wow caddy good find!!

 

[AMR-XS400]

not to bad, look a bit bulky. i was thinking about getting these and mounting them on the pillion passengers foot peg location

 

[AMR-XS400]

I should have looked at The whole thread, I only saw the prototype lol. I'm loving the almost finished product caddy!! Do you guys and girls think fitting them to the pillion peg location is to far back to mount them? Any ideas on mounting the rear brake master cylinder?

 

[skillzman1]

It looked to me ,on my bike that 1/2 way between front and rear was the best location...but that remains to be seen,as I have not finished the mock up yet.

Most any rearset can be made to fit most any application. Even kits that claim to be "bolt-on" are rarely so. Get creative. Save $. I have used the ones off DTT for $75. fairly unsatisfied, the fit and finish was less than stellar. I had to put a good 3 or 4 hrs into them before they looked and operated smoothly on the spindle they provided. and still tons of fab to make them work.

Sorry for the crapy pics, but this set cost me $8.00. Using the stock passenger pegs and mounts.

 

[skillzman1]

That actually looks really cool...kinda period correct..true to the cafe of the 70's kinda built style.
Whta type of tank did you use for the tail section?

 

[Swapmeet Louie]

I used a cb360's tank.

Thanks

To the Raask rearsets:

There two versions. One for this modell:

an one for this modell:

The frame of these modells are not identical.

None of these Raask (and also the pichler) fits to German 4G5:

 

[jdizon]

Thinking of getting one of the Raask rear-sets. Any one have a set that could offer an opinion on them?
