Ok, minor update.  I bought a pair of pegs from an 02 Honda 954RR and am going that route.  I seriously considered cutting some aluminum and building my own bracket to hold pegs, my buddy was all gung-ho to try that, but I think I'll like this look a lot.



The pic is just temp atm, I know the bolts are backwards, it's just a mock up.   I'll be securing it more tonite.  I used the Dennis Kirk frame clamp for the top, and will be welding a nut to the frame for the bottom of the bracket.  A note on those DK clamps, wow, for the 7/8" ones, they are a serious piece of metal.  Before I got them, I was wondering if they would be secure enough, I don't wonder any longer.

I need to score a longer rear brake line, and I'll be doing something creative with the side cover where it will now meet the top of the bracket and piston assembly.

The rear peg brackets have been cut off and ground down, I'll be sanding smooth and painting before long.

Look at Do The Ton forum's section on rearsets (good and bad) for reference.

I sifted thru a lot of those posts and ideas before I started, there were some really good ones, and a few scary.  The last thing that led me away from cutting some plate aluminum and/or Tarozzi's or the like, was price.

I may end up going with a plate cut bracket of some sort if I really don't like the placement of the peg when I'm done.  I'm pretty comfortable with a more aggressive stance all in all, and that's where they are sitting right now, high.

More soon, thanks all for the ideas!

Here's a shot of my brake side, the rearsets are from a '03 Hayabusa:



I cheated on the brake side, I couldn't be bothered figuring out how to make it work with the drum so fitted a disc rear wheel and just used the Suzuki MC.

On the shifter side, the only problem I had was with the joints on the link rod, Suzuki fit the l/h threaded joint to the pedal, Honda fit theirs to the gearbox arm ::)

If anyone want's any better shots just say andI'll post them as soon as I get home ;)


Ricky Racer,

     I'm pretty sure almost any Honda (as well as other Japanese brands) shifter arm will fit on the CB750 shifter splines.

     I went to the Honda dealer and asked if I could look in their parts for a shorter shifter arm.  They let me look in their bins, and I ended up using a Z-50(minibike) shifter, mounted backwards for an upside-down shift pattern.  It was very cheap.
Sherm

Pretty much all Hondas have the same spline on the gearbox shifter shaft, but the actual arms come in a massive variety of lengths. My bike is currently fitted with one from a 2001 Blackbird ;D

Suzuki and Kawasaki (can't speak for Yam) use the same diameter shaft, but with less splines around the circumference, you can hammer them on, but that's just rough :-\   Honda and Kawasaki also use plate steel link rods, which rust, Suzuki and Yamaha use stainless steel for theirs. If you have a good enough breaker locally, you can definitely find one the right length to suit your set-up
Education: Elitist activity. Cost ineffective. Unpopular with Grey Suits. Now largely replaced by Training."
