Here is a good question for you KZ fellas...

If I made 25 sets of rearsets Would you be interested? They would need to be just the bracket part, this is due to the large variety of braking systems used by all of us, each one requiring a different linkage and pedal set-up. So I am thinking of reproducing the footrest brackets I roughed out for mine. You would then need to add pegs, and linkage.

If you do not like that, then suggest something. Our shop would like to take one idea from each Manager ( I am one of those) and see if we can come up with a product we can sell in limited numbers. Experimental stuff.

Suggestions??


can u give us a visual ? do u have a similar mount on your bike now ?
how about a points cover with a slant. like the Yosh ones for road racing. it could say KZ on it or something ?
aluminum motor mounts are popular.
i will email u some pic's/ideas.

That's actually a Moriwaki logo, you can buy Moriwaki points covers straight form Moriwaki. モリワキ

This is Yoshimura's logo: ヨシムラ A Yoshimura points cover would be bitching! I'd buy two, one to hang in my office!

This is a great idea, except for the copywrite problem.

The points cover, would be easy to make, 1 lathe Op, 1 mill op. I just need a different Logo.

I will look into this, the part is possible.

I know it gets complicated & expensive but I've been looking for a dropped triple tree for a mid 90's gsxr usd front end. Thanks, Scott

Mark,

How hard would it be to get permission to use the KZR logo, I am betting they would sell out.

The "slant" makes it more expensive. Is this a casting?

It's all possible.
