Kz 750e rear sets was created by drgnknite
Was wondering if anybody has put on rear sets on their cycle, and the handling was. I know it changes rider position, and I imagine cycle respo se as well. I'm leaning towards a cafe racer, putting a drag bar on and a tail cone. Any and all info would be greatly appreciated.

The GPz & L model footpegs are several inches further back than the 750E pegs and are a (almost) direct bolt on. I installed them, along with the brake pedal and shift lever, on my 750E and noticed a big improvement. Only tricky part is adding the shift lever stud to your existing sprocket cover (you have to drill and tap a hole).

I've got RAASK reasets on my 750R1, I like very much. You won't ever scrape these pegs I doubt. (see avatar)

You may need to modify the sidestand, I used a longer 1100 stand that fitted just right, avoiding welding in another stand bracket...although the ELRdonor bike wasn't too happy.

Here are Attack rear sets on my 82 GPZ750 I found in a salvage yard. They came off a late 90's Yamaha FZR1000. With some fabbing they fit like OEM. You can pretty much adapt any rear set as long as you are willing to do some fabbing. And yes it is a 750 with a GPZ1100 engine and other work.

Another one of mine, 1977 KZ650. I had to make most parts for this one. I used the passenger peg brackets and welded in bolts. I then turned down pegs on my lathe using aluminum roundstock. I threaded the pegs and screwed them onto the bolts I welded. I then fabbed up the linkage brackets and rods. I love the rearsets on both bikes, I feel more in control and way more comfortable, at least for me it feels more natural than sitting straight up.
