Looking good mate!!

World really like some of those frame plates made up to have them welded onto my bike and the rear sets like yours, looks the biz mate

Really want my braced arm making too, its doing my tits in walking into the garage and seeing two swingarm's sat idle every time i go in the garage, might have to pay kev to cut it up and get it welded if he can fit it in

Did you beat me to that rear sprocket on hein gericke's ebay shop?
Looks good.









wonker.

hahaha
no mate, i bought it from calsports in birmingham....£50 delivered

Marty,
just been comparing the position of your rearsets compared to where I have mine, and yours are a good 1" higher and more than 1" forwards. I have mine set 10mm down and 10mm back from stock so yours is fairly sporty compared to the stock position. with my long legs I am not sure I could ride your bike without my old knees complaning!

Might be someting to look at if you find the position cramped


look where the gear lever is compared to swingarm spindle and the peg compared to swing arm weld

tell me about it mate, they're a bit high for me and there not that adjustable, they were made for superbike racing, i might have to look into getting an adapter plate machined up so i can lower them and move them back a bit because after 45mins my legs are hurting, as you know i'm not the most flexible of person
in the right hands this bike could be cranked right over, i reckon either the sidestand or exhausts would touch down first....
if i knew someone that could machine me up some adapters i'd get it done sooner rather than later....

Or pop round mine and we could swop over our frames then you would have no problems

£370 but this is just a libary pic

Gilles rearsets..Not cheap new

.can you believe I bought them off Marty 2nd hand, because they wouldn't fit his frame. I just post them up here to wind him up

Thanks steve they look rubbish on yours fella ill do you a favour and buy them i thinkhigh leval link pipes would catch them big style

the best bit about gilles, is that you can buy each piece seperately, so if your unlucky and damage one of them, the repair bill can be very low, great engineering, al i hate you

just a quick update, gave it a wash and took some pictures, i've still got to put the new tank on and fit the hugger.....
i've just fitted the powerbronze lowers, they're painted dark metallic grey, i'm waiting for some decals to turn up, nothing drastic, just some honda stickers.

once you get the tank and belly ban done in the blue it will look great mate

have you considered a slimmer exhaust can hanger bracket, its a fat bugger that one
