    '78 GS 750 Rear Set Question

    I currently own a 1978 Suzuki GS 750, great shape and all, but im starting to get my mind set to turn it into a Cafe bike. Ive already picked out the bars im putting on it, Bar end mirrors, and alot more that i have in mind, just timing isnt right at the moment. But what i havent been able to find is anyone who has talked about rear sets.
    I want to be able to drop the Foot pegs that my feet currently sit on while im riding, want to drop them back closer to the passenger footpegs, but of course not all the way back.
    Anyone able to or have a away to do this easily with these sets ?
    Or am i looking at drilling and mounting different brackets on?

    you can buy rear sets that are a direct bolt on, Raask is a favourite. or you can do what a lot of us have done and fit rear sets off a newer suzuki, such as GSXR but that does entail fabbing up some brackets o either weld on or to bolt to the stock mounting holes
    1978 GS1085.

    Just remember, an opinion without 3.14 is just an onion!

      I bought some universal pegs from http://oldschoolspeed.com/

      I went through how I mounted them in my build thread:
      Are you doing a restoration project of some kind on a GS? Let everyone see what you are doing by posting the details here.
      1979 GS550, 2003 R6, 1998 XR400 Dual Sport, 2004 V-Star.........

      Decisions, decisions, what to ride, today.

        Check out Fast From The Past. They have the individual pieces for the Tarozzi rear sets. You can buy the actual Tarozzi brackets for your GS750 that bolt right up to the factory frame holes. While I too have the 78individual GS750, I chose to hand fab brackets and rearsets, using pics of the Tarozzis as a guide, as well as some choice pieces from Fast FromThe Past.
