Rearsets, I have a few for sale

I have about 3 more sets of these for sale.   I went out on a limb and made about 8 sets of these universal rear sets when I developed them for the Virago.  Due to all the interest in them I thought they would be a easy sell.  What's funny about them is that other than the 2 Virago's that I built I have not used them for that.  I've put them on a XS650 cafe racer and the Sportster XRTT project used these with a adapter plate that mounts to the the motor.  I used them on a couple other bikes too but they are slipping my mind at the moment.  Either way,  I would like to sell the remaining 3 sets to help fund the Kaw project.  I would like $200.00 a pair but make me a offer and email me at   seidlry@aol.com

Rearsets for Virago and XS650 with Linkage

I put together the universal linkage kit last night. 

  Basically they consist of  of 6061 T6 Aluminum tubing with some high strength 1/4-28 Rod running through the center that you can cut to what ever length you come up with.  The rod ends are high quality steel.  They come with jam nuts and stainless nuts and bolts to bolt onto your modified shift lever and brake lever.  

 The installation plan is that you can mock it all up using the threaded rod  being sure to keep as much thread engagement as possible into the rod ends. After that disassemble the ends from the threaded rod and measure the rod length.  To cut the aluminum tube simply subtract 2 inches from the threaded rod length and cut.  Be sure to tighten the jam nuts onto the tube to about 10 - 15 foot lbs. because the tension compression of the tube and rod adds to its strength and is most important on the brake side.  This is the cleanest way to make your own linkage if all you have is a hack saw and a drill .  If you want you can brush, anodize or polish the aluminum tube for a custom look. 

I have a set up at Cafe Racer Ypsi on display if you need to touchy feely a set.

Production Rearsets are done.

This batch of rear sets has a top linkage for clearance over stock exhaust systems.

They should fit XS650 with a slight bend of the kicker and they do fit the Virago.  these should be nice and easy to fit on anything with a exhaust mount or rear peg holes.   I do not have a awesome universal linkage yet but I should have something in about a week. If you want to make your own linkage, I can sell you a set without it .   I will make myself available for technical assistance if you are having trouble fitting them on your project and I plan on putting up some online instructions.   

These rear-set levers are CNC cut from 100% 6061 T6 extruded aluminum bar stock and all of the pegs are hand machined from the same and can take a beating, so much so that I can offer a replacement part warranty for a cheap service fee.  In other words if you smash up peg or bend a lever ,  send it back and I will repair or replace it for gas money.  That applies if you have some modifications to make within reason as well.     Write me at seidlry@aol.com   or comment on this blog if you have questions.

on another note , My camera is still broke but I have an old iphone that I'm going to start using for the time being.
