I'm currently fitting a set from a nighthawk.  it'll require welding a mounting point made of square tubing, and modifications to linkage rods for shifter and brake.

I'm working on using CBR900rr rearsets... I may leave the rear brake disconnected for now.

no, but i've been thinking about it cause a buddy just bought an 88 CBR....might sneak into his garage one night....hell, my wrenches are already there, though he's probably lost half the sockets by now.

I have a set of 89 CBR rearsets that I'm saving for my next project (CB350?). If any one needs pictures, let me know.

The biggest problem I see is adapting the drum rear brake to be actuated by a rearset meant for disk brakes. I've been considering swapping the brake rod for a cable.

I have CBR rearsets that I was going to use and opted not to.  They are available if anyone is interested.  I media blasted them to remove the half assed chrome job and they are in good shape...

Hi Guys, not sure if you all know this web site, but they make some nice stuff. They are expanding to the 750's and I have been in touch with them over the last few weeks. Check out the web site and send them some email.
