4to6 inch over arm and 17x5.5 rim?

modify some zx rear sets to put on, I did it with stuff I ebayed really cheap:P
not finished yet, but you get the idea from these pics

holding up the stock peg to show the difference in foot location

yup, that'd work as well.

you going to do anything else to make it look more integrated, or just paint and go?

That does look really good, the only problem is I'm trying to not hack up the frame I would like to be able to put the bike back to stock if needed. I wouldn't mind doing the one where you have to weld just the one gusset on the frame, but still if the tarozzi ones you don't have to do any of that I just might go that route. Thanks for the advice,
mike

I was thinking of drilling the plates/brackets that were welded on, maybe putting a "kzx" pattern in them with a small bit, and a few larger holes around that, or just make them looke like a drilled disc, but Im open to suggestions:). the rear set pegs are about where the passenger pegs were, I had to cut the PP brackets off, you can see the bare metal on the frame just under the new brackets. they had to go anyway as the brake setup hit the new wider swingarm. you could probly make these work with drum brakes too, just find a way to attach the rod in the back, tire clearance shouldnt be an issue since these are out wider than normal

I figured I'd give everyone an update. The bike is currently sitting on the 2 wheels by itself. I have a machinist making the rear spacer and cutting a notch out of my swingarm to make room for the rear brake so I can keep everything stock looking. I decided to make a spacer for the brake stay to keep it in line and not have any bends. The only thing I wish I didn't have to alter was the brake arm actuator if anyone know of any off another bike with the same number of splines but a more aggressive angle to bring it closer to the outside of the wheel would be great. Any ideas?


Other than that I'm just going to cut mine and weld in a piece of metal to extend it out.

Mike

Thanks for everyones inputs so far!

Here are a couple of updated pics. I rode the bike for the first time last night. Felt good just trying to make sure everything is good before getting down on it... Hope you all like it. I turned out awesome in my honest opinion. The front is now a little to big I'm going to a little shorter tire very soon. Any recommendations?

looks good except im not sure about rear fender,doesnt really match radius of rear tire being that far back.have you thought about eliminating rear fender?looks good though!

I have a little bit of work to do with the fender, still trying to figure out the right angle. I want to leave it on there cause it fills the gap between tire and tail which looks funny if left empty, and the biggest reason is no one else takes the time to do it and the first thing they do is just eliminate the fender. So I have to be a little different. You know? The bike is still very dirty haven't had a chance to clean just yet. So the pics will get a little better.

I do appreciate all the comments though!

I was going to suggest the same thing. I actually prefer the cleaner look of no fender, but if it's done right it probably would look really good. I really like the overall look of that bike...it is awesome! That is the exact syle I am going for during my current rebuild. I even have the same header, a 180 rear tire, a gold chain, plan on using shocks with the extended swingarm (no struts), and want to slide the forks up in the triple tree. I'm also having my seat reworked to be like the gunfighter. I hope mine looks as nice when I'm all done!! Great Job!!

Looks AUSOME. GREAT JOB.wHY DID YOU FEEL YOU NEEDED THE LONGER SWING ARM? What made you deside to add the steering stablizer and did it help much?
