Okay....here is an old post I had placed on some other forums on making universal rearsets to fit the
older Honda CB's. Most all the CB(twins and inline 4's) Hondas have
1" diam. frame tubes and this works great. I posted this a long time
ago......thought i'd repost it here. This is the
setup i'm using on the CR350 racer and i'm now see some of the
vintage road racers using this setup.....enjoy!!
Very easy and functional way to get some very nice rearsts
for most cafe bikes with very little metal fab or machining.
1. Purchase 4......universal 3-Piece 1 inch frame clamps from Dennis
Kirk(800-323-9280), part number=h27-036.......$5.99ea.
2. Need to look on EBAY for 1998-2002 Honda CBR929RR/RC51
rearsets....usually run approx. $80 per set. You will need the
rearset brakets(right & left), both heel gaurds, shift lever, & rear
brake lever with return spring(and brake light switch if using a taillight). You can usually find all these
together as a set or with only a few parts missing or damaged. I have
purchase a few sets with road rashed pegs for very cheap. Usually, you
can purchase some aftermarket pegs from the local bike shop for around
$20.
3. Purchase some smooth round rod(have to thread ends) or threaded rod($1.57 for 3 foot piece...approx) from
local hardware store to fab up the shift and rear brake linkages. I
have always purchased smooth round rod, then once cut to
size.....threaded the ends using a tap/die set.
4. Depending on application, you may need to use a spacer between the
frame clamps and the rearset mounting braket. On my CB350's I have
used a 1 inch aluminum spacer to locate the peg out away from the
swingarm for clearance.
I have some pics on my website of these rearsets being used on my 1972
Honda CR350 and also on my 1970 Honda CB350RR Inverted front fork
hybrid. Feel free to visit the site at:
