Looks good man!! I am going to go a little bit different of a route then that personally. That does look a bit to far back for my taste. I am planning on doing a small triangle in flat bar off of the frame opposed to round tube. This will bring the sets a bit closer to the riding position that I would prefer.

Well this is as far forward as i could get them due to the angle they need to be at and the master cylinder hitting the frame. I rode it today and it is a comfortable position so im happy with it. I welded it on as good as i could and will finish up the welds when i pull off the tire and swingarm so i can reach the inside. rear break works but i still have to rig up a linkage for the shifter.

right on... I have yet to mount rear-sets (hence researching in this thread) and have been concerned by the amount of "committment" required when deciding on mounting location.  At least the hanging frame brackets are adjustable. hmm... now I am weighing the permanent option

I got a Raask set on ebay for cheap for a newer model 750 and made a thick plate aluminum bracket for the brake side. It is still a bit bulky and I plan on re-working the shape on that side to be a little more cool looking. I used the hole a bit forward of the passenger foot peg on the shifter side as it was more comfortable.

bump.
still looking for a manufacturer who makes bolt-on solution for my 77 f2.
don't like the bulky plate on the raasks, and i can't seem to find a tarozzi model that bolts on without making a custom plate.

anyone?

There was a rearset post on a while ago where the submitter talked about using a bicycle steering stem as a frame clamp.  I'm not sure if Tony was the first on these forums to do it, but check out this solution...

Do you have pics of you bike with them on?

Sorry this is incorrect information. The 76F frame is different in this area from the 78F frame and the two will not interchange. Tarozzi does not make anything that fits the 77-78F.

Thats what I thought? Thats why I was asking for pics of what he was talking about :P
I wish Tarozzi made somthing for the 78 ss. His stuff looks like quality units.

it's ok. Probably about the same quality as raask. From the racers I know that use both the raasks and Tarozzis both crack with the same frequency. The old raask stuff used to crack just by looking at it funny. It is cheaply cast aluminum, not the best quality.

Honestly, OEM sportbikes rearsets are probably going to be leaps and bounds better in terms of quality because they actually have federally mandated safety standards, quality control technicians, and a healthy fear of being sued in the US if it breaks. I don't think Raask or Tarozzi have either of these concerns.

Grab a welder and some plate steel. Weld a tab to the back of your frame tube. Bolt on modern sport bike rearsets (with brackets), and go. Make the plate big enough and drill multiple mounting holes and you have adjustable rearsets. Forget the wrap around clamps and the bicycle neck attachments - you want to be able to put your full weight on each peg and if you are a heavier guy then the hot metal glue gun is the way to go.

CBR/RC51 are a good choice. I have also become partial to yzf-r6 rearsets.

I scored an early pair of T595 triumph ones on ebay a while back, rare in that they have the shifter on the peg mount and not the engine. Looks like nothing else out there and super high quality.
