Rear-sets used...

Lots of you guys use rear-sets when you build your bikes. I've tried searching and looking up project bikes, but frankly, it's time consuming. What I'd like to know is what rear-sets are you using? Are there any that bolt onto the stock KZ foot-peg bolts or are you drilling new holes on the frame where needed or are you bolting them onto a plate you weld onto the frame? If off a modern sportbike, which model bike are you using them off of? Seems I remember someone used some off a ZX12 and one person welded some headnuts onto the frame to use as anchors for the rear-set bolts. Having to use a linkage to hook to the shift shaft, were you able to use what came with the rear-sets off the bike or did you have to fabricate a new link-age arm? Suppose that would work the same with the brake link-age also?

I used Tarozzi rear sets made specifically for the Kz on both my 1000 and my 900 project. I also used head nuts on my 900 to mount the passenger pegs brackets.

I also went with Tarozzi rearsets. Work great and are very well built.

and here

irishwillhas a couple of sets brand new still in the package or at least he did.

You truly only have a few choices...

As mentioned, sets designed for direct bolt on... Exceptionally good quality but expensive $400+...Ouch!

Or any used set where you fab a steel plate for direct bolt on and your set bolts onto the plate... <$100 for all.

Or you weld bolts/buts directly onto your frame...
I accomplished all for under $50 including the rear sets.

And yes, I have since corrected the reverse shifting mechanism.... :laugh:

I'm going to do a similar set up with some cbr 900rr rearsets. I still need the shifter side rearset though, anyone got one?

i used '01 zx12 rearsets. used stock shifter linkage


welded nuts inside of some tubing to make mounts. the brake setup is stock also

Zippy... eeewww nice site... saved to KZ900 favorite folders!

Since you quoted me... I stated direct bolt on, these sets seem to me anyways would still require some modification plates to fit on the KZ series.... Easy enough...

Either way, extremely nice pricing!
