Rear sets

[tatu]

I have always prefered the rear foot rests as the most comfortable foot place when out on my bike as it is less cramped and especially when covering distance, and being prompted by a thread here I decided I would finally do something about it. Here is the nearly finished product.
I used the original set of Raasks that are ok,ish, the problem with them is that while your foot is further back, it is also up, so not much if anything is gained. so, I modified some old rear peg brackets and made some longer connecting rods, there is still a bit to go but essentially they're done.

Drilling and tapping the connecting rods

I will redo the peg brackets later as they can be made to look a bit better.
I don't mind that the rear pegs no longer exist for a passenger.

That is a long way back. Used to see quite a few guys cruising with their feet back on the pillon pegs but I've never seen that set up before. Any pics of the brake set up?

Nope, really the right spot with my SP370 bars.

I'll get one tomorrow when I dissasemble the rods to get chromed, I also have to move one hole on the brake lever arm.

lovely looking bike but just one criticism, the front mudguard looks too big for the wheel. maybe lowering it a bit may help? apart from that, gorgeous

I had thought'v bringing it down a bit but it can't be done without messy drilling. Doesn't matter as its getting a 17" wire wheels instead'v that 16".
