    foot pegs

    I put low cafe type bars on my 78 1000e and i want to raise and push back the position of my foot pegs. In my manual they recommend honda 305 super hawk pegs. Has anyone done this mod? does anyone know how to get them? and does "honda 305 super hawk" refer to the part, or the bike that they are on?
    Do you have any other suggestions

    All I can tell you on this is that Honda 305 SuperHawk is a bike - a very cool bike called a CB77 that was built from abou '64 to '68. You may have a hard time finding those pegs.

    A company called Disco Volante has rearsets for GSs (including yours) that were reasonably priced - probably around $200. Their website is under construction right now, but there's a contact link. Raask makes some that are expensive. Billy Ricks, among others has adapted GSXR rearsets to his GS.

    I've considered it for awhile too - my GS1100E has low bars and rearsets would round it out for comfort for me.

      A mate of mine has a CB77, the footpegs mount on neat ally plates with two sets of mounting points, so you can choose the footpeg position and they have rose-jointed gear and brake lever, so I suppose that why they suggested them, but as Bert says they'll be as rare as rocking horse sh*t.

      RAASK or Tarocci (as sold by Disco Volante) make rearsets, but they'll set you back about 100 GBP over here.

        Different mounting points on the frame, but the S model
        are somewhat rearset.
        Not radical pretzel rearset, but up and back.
        This will also involve changing the shift linkage and brake pedal.
        You may need to adapt or change the rod going from the brake pedal to the fluid resevoir.

        Do these companies supply "all" the parts needed?
