What are you using for rearsets on GT triples?

Post by hahahaurugly »

I have to do something with the huge rubber rider pegs. I would like to use the stock mounting holes not the passanger pegs/exhaust mounts. Has anyone fit the Dime City Cycles indexable rearsets? What about some sort of rigid peg just mounted in the stock mounting hole?

Roy (rng dng) has a neat set of rear sets on his GT750. They are solidly mounted but I have no idea where they came from.

I am trying to fit a pair of Hyabusa rider's foot pegs and mounts on my 750 with a pair of custom adapters so that I don't have to cut anything off the frame, but that's a convoluted task. What I liked about them is that the mounts are rubber mounted and the pegs are rubber topped.

Kris Durgham was machining rear sets for our bikes but I don't know if they are still available.

What make are the DCC rear sets? They typically sell Asian made products which are not unique to them. There are a couple of guys on DTT that offer rear sets. One is Tune-a-fish and the other has a user name that tells us he's from Vietnam IIRC. Both seem to offer good quality products at fair prices.

Titan in the UK specialize in T/GT500's but may have a set for a triple.

I don't know who makes the parts for DCC but they have the winged piston logo on them, I have a set on my CB650 and am pleased with them. I just think the width of the GT's case may interfere with their operation. I fab'ed up some u channel mounts for dirt bike pegs to weld onto the stock peg mounting lugs (removing most all the original steel structure) to be a bolt on solution but I think they are too chunky.

These show promise. Have to email them.

planning on using older GSXR or R1 sets that I have laying around, mock up a plate in cardboard or plywood that I'll then cut out of 6061. will be taking off the passenger peg extensions too I think, but leaving the portion of the bracing in the frame 'V' for rigidity

As far as older GSX-R rear sets I like working with those. Here are older ones on my recent cafe build..

I machined the mount plate and installed the hardware. I had to do some modification on the brake side to convert to cable but it went quite well.

I think those early GSXR rearsets are a good choice. They are quite basic and don't look out of place. If you are building an old school cafe bike, modern rearsets could look out of place, and possibly spoil the old look of the bike. Just my 5c.
