1979 GS850 rearset

[GS850]

hi! this question might have popped up here and there on this forum but i can't really find it and i'm not sure where to put it so i put it here!


i want to install a rearset on my 1979 GS850 but i don't feel like spending 350€ on a tarozzi set...
i heared you can modify a cheaper gsxr or gsx rearset pretty easy but i would like to maybe see some pictures or get a few pointers from someone who has done it before!

or perhaps anyone knows a site where they sell rearset for a reasonable price? around 150-200 €/$

thx!

Wouldn't they be, identical to GS1000 rear sets?

could be...... i figure they would be more like the ones for the gs750 which tarrozzi sells, but like i said, 350£ is a lot of money...

I bought a pair of gsxr rearsets and im in the process of fitting them on my bike im not sure either how others have done it but i think i might have to make my own hanger brackets and disect the rear sets i bought them though for 35 bucks down here used.. I was thinking i would weld in a tab on the back of the frame where the original foot pegs were and then drill a hole to mount the foot peg with the linkages. only problem that is holding me back is working out the rear brake master cylinder... ( do i go stock or buy a different one.) if i had the gsxr one I would have kept the brackets and used it but since i dont have that i will most likely go through some curse words and wear down my fingers to nubs trying to work out the original one... I will try to post pics as i go.. this is the mock up
