Title: stock rearset mod Post by: wingnut on May 20, 2009, 04:00:09 AM I thought I'd share the results of my stock rearsets after I got a hold of them with a grinder. Also, I included a picture at the end of the stock turn signals but they've been pulled in about 1-1/2" toward the headlight on both sides. If you remove the signal you'll find that the plastic piece between the headlight and signal is a separate piece. I just pulled that out, got a shorter M5 screw from Lowe's and put it back together without the plastic piece.

(exposed chain and swingarm)

It could be El Matador, but I could also be wrong - why don't you ask in a specific thread [thumbsup] My guess is that a machined piece of aluminum will be cheaper, so it all depends on how cool a custom made carbon fiber piece will look 8) Title: Re: stock rearset mod Post by: teddy037.2 on May 20, 2009, 06:41:06 PM that certainly helps to clean up the bike!
