    GS650G poor man's rearsets.....

    Did a quick experiment while I try to fab up something with some more modern rearsets off a newer sportbike. Works ok other than getting used to GP style shifting!

    Now that gave me a laugh! What did you do for the brake? On rides that are over 100 miles on the freeway I ride with my feet on the passange pegs. When you work it out completely let me know.

      Nothing yet. Just seeing if I can use the existing bracket and possibly existing holes to mount the sportbike rearsets. So right now I just moved the passenger pegs to see how they feel in that spot.

        WOOOHHH!!! Someone else with a 650G looking for some rearsets
        I am looking at just milling a few holes into the existing bracket as well, or just scaring up some 1/4" aluminum for a bracket that is around the shop somewhere. There are a number of rearsets in the parts room I can rifle through if you like When I get the right measurements for the rod/bracket I'll be sure to let ya know!

          Yep. I used an existing hole. Works for me. Parts are from a Yamaha of some sort. Plus some stuff from the hardware store.

            Brake side done. Ugly but works.
