Rear sets are hen's teeth for XS650 and extremely high priced when surfacing somewhere.
I'm interested if any (originally build for some other MC) can be modified to be used in XS650 and using original peg mounting studs for mounting.

Hi and welcome,
I may have a link to some parts that will work with the stock mounting bolts.
The link info is on my computer at work, I'm off today but will check tomarrow.

I have a book marked link in my home computer to a company in the UK that makes them. I will look for the link and "IF" I can find it I post it here In the next day or two. I'm away from home at the moment.

I've been looking to pick up rearsets also for my xs650. I called Spec II a couple months ago and they were relocating their shop and wouldn't be able to make more till June 1st.

I'm really having trouble justifing the $395 that Omar's charges for their rearsets. They do look really nice, but $395 nice?

There's a nice rear set at Omars that has a decent sticker price and has a vintage style for around 225.00.............Jack

I just went back and looked but I couldn't find them. I did see some for $295 which is better then the $395.

www.rearsets.info/rs.html

Can you post the link for the ones for $225 cause that price is right to me.

My mistake on the pricing but call Dawyne at www.650central.com ,cuz I was talking to him one day this week and he mentioned rear set that he uses for 180.00. He's a flattracker racer,so the connections are there.......Jack
