Good morning chaps and chapesses, Sent a few mails to people asking me how I made my rearsets , their were no options back in December when I got the bike !! so I thought id share on here for all to see please follow this link for pics as I don't have the time just now to upload everything to the thread , Please follow this link for various photos of what i did , you will get the idea ....

ive had the bike since mid december and its been in development since then , some things work , some dont , rearsets was a triumph for little effort and little cost ,

i looked at ebay to see what i liked the look of , ninja were symetrical , fairly compact and looked good so i went with them

the rc pegs need to be back quite a way from the actual mount to the frame but this is a good thing , with this you can pretty much use any rearset for any bike out there on the market and simply attach them to the " mid bracket " that you make .

at work we had some 8mm thick discs left over from a project , these i used to mount to the frame ( my explanation of things may not be totally clear but the pictured will paint a thousand words ) and some other pieces of 6mm going upto the rearsets , this 2 plate set up spaces the actual rearset away from the rear swing arm as its wider than the frame where you mount the plates , you could make up a piece in one but you would need to bend it ( joggle ) to clear the swing arm .

4 x dowels are also needed ( 2 per side ) approx 22mm long , 16mm dia and a 10mm hole through the center ,( measure whats needed as if u retain the kick stand bracket one side will need to be 3-4mm shorter to accommodate this ) these are for the bottom 2 bolts , between the frame and " rear set plate " i could have cut the original rearsets and use some bits but i decided to just make dowels , again everything becomes clear when you have a look at your own bike .

another option i contemplated was to cut the rear of the original rearsets off and weld a neat plate onto the remainder , the ninja rearsets would have then bolted to this .

hope all of this is making sense .

i made a longer shift rod out of some 10mm bar ( remember u will nee a left hand and a right hand tap for the rose joint threads )

some of the pics show street shift and some are race shift that i am trying this weekend on track .

so simple enough , remove rearsets , make a plate and bolt to original mount points , bolt your desired rearset to plate , simples :) gear shift side is completly open so clearence insnt an issue , on the exhaust side the fairing hit my plates so i trimmed them a little for clearence , or u could trim the fairing ,


other pics include a trimmed and painted stock hugger , a carbon fiber hugger from TYGA ( its the Duke 390 one and is great |clipons , ( 7 degree , 51mm dia ) domino stand alone throttle and push button start, cut top tripple clamp with handle bar mounts and ignition removed .


hope this all helps you .. good luck .. Regards lee

I went and got my 390 out of the trailer this weekend to pull the rearsets off to start modeling an adapter plate to do what you did! Nicely done!

Your dirt bike throttle does it work well?

Glad to see I am not the only one that finds the stock RC390 chain cover and rear hugger setup to be annoying. Thanks for confirming my suspicions about the Duke hugger fitting I will have to get one on order.

Aren't you required to have an engine cut off switch for your track days? Good work on the bike, I bought the same clip ons, except with a 1" rise.

The tach you added appears to start at 10...then 11, 12, 13, 14, etc
...and I imagine x1000rpm?

If your looking at some of the pictures i uploaded i think its an AFR gauge i mounted , not a tacho.
Whoops, sorry Lee.
So something like this http://www.innovatemotorsports.com/products/images/G3.jpg
...Well you can see that the picture that showed it was at a 45 degree angle from the face and you can't read what it is other than tach-like numbers.
Never heard of an air/fuel mixture gauge as something for a motorbike...but a Supermarine Spitfire or Messerschmidt BF-109 probably had and needed one.
