Thanks guys... Saying im pretty stoked is an understatement!! I obviously have a WAYS to go but kinda nice to get a taste.. lol

Tossing around a couple options to compensate for the height loss, but im open for suggestions. I plan on lowering the rear a bit, so that will help a bit, so maybe some upper tree work to get it a little closer.

I didn't plan on using the clip-ons but they looks pretty damn good on there.. lol But I don't think my back would last long in that position.... but hell who knows.. :)

lookin good bud... you need to take a break man, your makin me look bad... what year 750 did you get that upper mount off of? i would guess the only reason they changed to the newer style is to adjust ride hieghth?

the trouble with you is the trouble with me, you got two good eyes but still dont see...

OOO don't worry... it will slow down.. This is the easy stuff. The mount came off a 91. I kinda figured the same thing on the mount... maybe economics.. I checked on your swing arms as well... will post that on your thread for you.

Ok, did a little work on the bike today. Started working on the top mount and got it mocked up. I wont make it permanent till I get the swingarm pivot bushings done this week. But I think this will be the permanent config. I will box it in as well for extra support.

Also mocked up my sets. I took OMR's lead on this one and did something similar. I used T-Nuts for the mount and SS sleeves for the shank. SS Button head screws to finish it up. Just tacked on for now, until im sure.. :)

Couple of pics..


















Test, this look a little better?




This should be pretty close to the final stance.

I wish I did it that often...I only cleaned it last week because I was done with the re-wire and about to start painting. LOL! I will clean it up after painting and move stuff around so I have room to finally start tearing down my '66 A1.

Those are some sturdy looking rear sets! The build is really coming along nicely. I look forward to seeing your vision become a reality.

Are those 8mm bolts holding your rear-sets on? If so, then you may find that they are not sturdy enough. I wound up with M10 bolts on mine. Of course I'm a big boy, so I can put some parts to the test. Put your feet on the outside of those pegs and bounce up and down a few times. If they flex or break off, then you know you need bigger fasteners.

zx-10r rear sets?

Test.. They are actually 5/16 and was thinking the same thing. I will give them the once over once i get them all welded on and make them permanent, just tacked on for now. If need be I will step up to 3/8's. Just didn't want the collars to be to bulking if they didn't need to be. We shall see...

On the money withe sets.. 06 ZX10R...
