    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

ive been thinking about rearsets since i got my bike and i keep thinking you could just mount some aftermarket sets on the big aluminum pass peg/pipe mounts on a 1100E? i was thinking this so you wouldnt have to weld on your frame and you could just buy another set of big aluminum pass peg/pipe mounts(dont know what there called?) and return to stock.

the only problem is that they would be a little low and might stick out to far, or be angled weird. anyone else think of this?
 
why not just remove the original foot peg mounting brackets and fab up some rearsets that will bolt on using the original mounting points. then if you want to revert to standard you can just bolt the old brackets back on again.......

that would be the better idea. you would have to make exhaust hangers though.

Mad Mark,
Know what you mean about the weird angle and stickout.I'm making some for my miler bike build up.I have an 82 ez as well.I just started machining up a set from 4130 cm ,as mine will position my rear feet 6" in front of the rear axle (rules).Probably have a couple pics later this week.:) Rich
 
This is plate mounted on my 1100ez for an idea, you could literally mount any rearset you wanted with proper back spacing..
