Very nice! I'd suggest going this route with rearsets, I fabricated my own, and unfortunately had some design interference with the levers and can't equip them :/

Thanks, yeah the haybusa set up was very easy

got complete set-ups for 20$ plus shipping each side

the shifter spline was the same, i had to bend my stock brake line to mate up and brake lite switch hooked right up.

to mount them i made some plates of some heavy gauge steel which bolted

to the stock location along with a tab welded to the frame on the upper

most part of the rear set. Plan on painting them up soon, maybe add some

pegs.

the shifter spline was the same

Good to know, I tried purchasing a Katana shifter spline but it was too small.

78 GS550E two-up cafe

I know I've already posted a pic of this bike in another post, but here it is in the custom GS thread:

1978 GS550E with 550L fenders and rear wheel, unknown Yamaha seat, 4-into-1 pipe, aftermarket head and tail lights, custom instrument panel, Tarozzi clip-ons and rearsets, and a matte black rattle can paint job. Cost about $1,500 total.

I had a GS550E in the 70s, so I know how they are supposed to run. This one is very nice to ride, and the more modern riding position helps a lot.
