I am considering rear sets for my cafe project. What is the best source for an easy to install good quality? Are they an easy bolt on operation?

Well I am working a nice set for my bike. Rubber mounted, and not to far back. I will post pics when I get them more complete. I am making three sets, one for me and two to cover my cost.
check back with me in a week or so
I posted some pics of a roughed in set, under the post " rear sets". They are just to check the location. I am making new arms, and mounts.

Those look good. I'm interested. Price? Any modifications necessary to install as I have already powdercoated my frame?

Nice work!
Is the gear shift able to be swapped for a race shift?

I am going to try to get some machine time next week. So a couple of weeks. I will list them on Ebay but put a link here for you all to get first dibs............
Oh no modification to any part of the frame is required. This is why I designed them like this.

| I've seen a few different types of rear sets and I like these a lot! Wish I had the resources to make stuff like that.

| xs1961-have you bought any metal lately? there's close to (if not more than) $20 worth of material there. but i know what you're saying. it'd be cool to offer another set thats more economical.
