KZ650 and KZ750 foot pegs mounts

Hello
I'm new to this forum. I got it recommended on kz650.info
I am looking to do rearsets on my KZ650-D2 SR and I found a complete set on Fast from the Past for a KZ650, which doesn't seem to fit (my bike has the two bolt foot pegs), but I found this set for the KZ750, which looks like it might fit.
Now my question is, does the KZ650-D2 and the KZ750-E1 use the same two bolt system? Do you think it will fit? And did it have rear disc brakes?

I hope you can help

The 750E has a Rr disk brake. For the footrests, you could get center-to-center bolt-hole measurements.

I've been playing with a adapter idea to mount modern rearsets to older bikes. I can tell you that a 1979 KZ650C3 or C4 (I don't remember exactly) and the 1982 KZ750R1 can be interchanged. I added picures of my first protoype mounted on both frames.

Thanks for the replies!

Then I just need someone to measure their 750E

I was hoping to find a kit that just fits, otherwise I'm thinking of buying this and getting a blacksmith to create a mounting plate. But that doesn't look half bad!

I was in the same boat as you and tried talking to fast from the past but they couldn't guaranty they would fit. I thought about purchasing one of the bracket arms from the kit to see if it would physically bolt up, I think you can order them separate. That would minimize the cost should they not work. I ended up buying their universal kit and making them work with a simple bracket - similar to the approach David took above.




I've changed things up a bit since these pics but you get the idea.

That looks great! It looks fairly easy to mount, was all the necessary parts included? Also, which ones do you prefer, the curled ones or the straight?
Not a bad idea concerning the bracket arm, maybe I'll do that.

I ordered the angled arms first, but have since purchased straight replacement arms as the angled ones weren't quite right for me.

As far as what comes in the kit, you will need to fabricate a shifter linkage. I cut down my existing shifter, and used my existing drum brake rod to make the linkage. On the brake side it really depends on what you have. I had a drum but converted to a mono-shock swingarm with a disk. That made it pretty simple as all I had to do is position the master cylinder on my bracket. To make things even more simple I went with an integral pressure switch/banjo bolt which eliminates the need for a conventional switch.

FFTP sells several linkage parts so it's pretty easy to piece something together if you don't want to cut up your existing parts.

Cool. Do you have a picture of solution on the shifter?
It's a bit hard to me to have in my head right, I think it will be easier once I have the parts

Yeah, sorry this took so long.



I simply cut the original shifter down and drilled a hole for the clevis pin. I used the existing drum brake rod, threaded the ends and bent it to fit. Works like a champ.
