Hmmmm. Rearsets. Maybe it's 'cause it's 1:30am and I'm burned out from the day. Not sure what rearsets are. Rear mounted pegs and controls? Just wondering.

A cheap alternative rear set ,would be to rotate the stock foot rest but you'll need to fabricate a lingage to the trans and the brakes. It cheap but looks great if chromed or something in that order..........Jack

I was looking at my bike this morning and see that it seems that this would work. Very cool.

Even when placed on opposite sides,there'll still be some modifications envolved. There's just no simple answer to anything is there. Looks like some cutting and welding involved.....Jack

I'm trying to score a set from an R1 or R6 that i can use from ebay. Hopefully I'll get a set for pretty cheap.

If you'll slide over to the proboards site and go to chassis mods,look for the thread rear sets started by a member named" Mental" he discribes the procedures to adapt these rear sets your referring to and they are cool looking if correctly done and this particular set still allows the full function of the kick starter..........Jack
