    need advice for rear sets for 82 1100E frame

    Does anybody know of a set of rear sets that bolt up with out to much fab work to a 82 1100E frame? I have a street fighter in the mix. A 82 frame with a 83 1100 motor, the front end of 92 GSXR and a stock 83 swingarm with a 180/55/17 stuff in to it, and last GSXR rear brake setup on it, I really like the clip ons they make the bike but having your foot on the front peg sucks. Any advice would great
    Thanks

    You can use just about any modern stuff, with a simple set of bracket plates made from alu. Get a FULL set of rearsets tho, including the rear master so you dont have to try to make your stock one work with them. OR, if you dont mind shelling out about $300, you can get a set of RAASK's that will bolt right on to your frame with no mods or bracketry work.

      With your mods, adapting late-model sportbike rearsets would probably be more aesthetically pleasing than the Raasks, IMHO...... those look fine on a stock-ish GS1100, but probably a bit dated with your Gixxer gear. Keep in mind too, that you may lose the use of the pillion pegs with some set-ups ( the main reason I didn't go with the Raask set, though I think they now have a kit that provides for pillion pegs).

        This is my 82 1100E, there not mounted yet just fabbed up for drilling. They are from a ZX12R. I have a set of the plates and a pattern for them.

          ditto on that post. I'd love to know where to find a good swing arm somewhere between 3-6". someone told me cal fabs were the way to go but goodluck finding one?
