Rear set question..
« on: January 25, 2009, 04:31:52 PM »
Do they use bushings, bearings, or do they let them ride on the pivot points of the brake and shift lever?

I can't speak for these specifically, but the Hayabusa ones that my 550 is running have the aluminium levers pivoting directly upon a steel pin, which in turn is screwed into the bracket.

Hope that helps

Again, I don't know about those, but I made my own rearsets, and made oilite bronze bushings for them.  I take them apart every year to clean and grease them up.

Alot of the aftermarket levers (shifter and brake) come with a pressed in bushing.  I'll assume bronze, but could be some other material.  I did however read about (can't remember if it was this forum or elsewhere) a rearset that used a needle bearing setup (or something to that effect.)  I'll see if I can dig that up...

I did too and used Delrin for the bushings.
It is easy to machine and has bearing qualities to it.

What bike are you building rear sets for?
