Pic Request: Rizoma Rearsets DSS "Classic" Monsters

[Markus]

Hope these help.





If you need some measurements taken let me know and I'll whip out the tape.

Are you still in Memphis? I have these on my S4 welcome to come by and check them out.

Sadly no, I'm in Dallas now.


However, I think all those pictures will do it!

My rear brake master looks the same, as does everything else to the shots in the pictures. I'll need to find my factory rear brake hinge element (that connects to the pedal linkage) because the part on the AG Hammer rearsets is different, but aside from that, it looks like this will be a "go" for my 99 Monster.

Thanks for all the help, I'll make sure to post up my results in the next few months when I have enough scratch to order the sets.

I owe you all beers!

I know I'm resurrecting an ancient thread, but the subject line precisely describes my request. I'm willing to start a new thread if the mods deem it appropriate.

That stated, would someone post pics of their setup, particularly the side with the rear master cylinder? Two pics would be very helpful - 1st pic normal to the rearset and the 2nd pic - one directly above the same rearset looking down. It would also be really helpful to know how far these rearsets are spaced away from the frame at the point 2" in back of the rearmost upper mounting hole.

My exhaust has two up-pipes that are side-by-side thus limiting aftermarket rearset options. I'm hoping that the Rizomas flare out from the frame almost identical to the chicken-wing rearsets.

This was taken a few years ago.  Out of town and away from the bike, so no measurements possible right now.

i don't have any useful pics of this yet, but a quick note: if you aren't using the low-mount pipe hangers, you either can put in a high-pipe adapter bracket (spacing the rearsets outwards appropriately), or modify the spacer at the rearset/engine-sump connection and move the the rearset closer to the frame.

Curious why you say the aftermarket rearsets (a la DP/MW/S&P or Ducabike) won't work?

I purchased a set of Ducabike rearsets and one of the up-pipes interferes with the master cylinder. Since my exhaust has both up-pipes routed on the right side like and SBK exhaust, there isn't enough room to mount the mc in the intended location. If reference to  BK's picture, the problematic up-pipe is routed approximately near the middle of the heel guard.

I'd love to make the Ducabikes work, but they will probably be listed in the sale section and I'll likely focus my attention on the Rizomas or CycleCat DRS-43 if they get the parts in from their machine shop source.

I figured the picture will explain my challenge better than my words.  Any suggestions on either making the Ducabikes or Rizomas work. ..

 Take a big hammer and smash the front of the pipe flat. Then the mc should fit!

I too had clearance issues with my Ducabike rearsets and the "S" pipe of my exhaust.  What I did was space out the rearsets off the frame.  I installed 10mm aluminum spacer bushings between the frame and rearset.  Doing that allowed just enough clearance of the rear brake master cylinder.  The brake fluid line clears the pipe by a few mm's.  (Fingers x'd that this is ok)

Any chance you could post pics of your setup so I could a get a visual? Did you get these spacers from a hardware store or did you fab them yourself?

I got them from Princess Auto here in Canada.  They are round thick aluminum bushings with a hole drilled thru the center.  I touched them with black paint to blend with my black frame and black rearsets.  I'll get a pic for you shortly.

example of bushings.  If you cant find any, I could get you a set and mail them out to you.

OR mount the master cylinder using a superbike / SS bracket and rear brake lever down on the engine sump. Voila, problem solved?

hmmm...so this is the key to my success: http://www.gothamcycles.com/Bodyworkhtml/Ducati-Rear-Brake-Master-Cylinder-Bracket.html

I like this option and it seems similar to the cyclecat DRS43 system. Do I need to acquire an SBK/SS mc & clevis or will my current M900 rear mc work? I just wanna completely understand what's needed to make this work.

[junior varsity]

The SBK master cylinder has the brake line connection on top, IIRC, instead of on the end. That might be beneficial. Clevis is probably the same, but an easy way to check is to get on an online-parts finder and compare part numbers between models.


The only thing "I dunno" is if the foot peg position of aftermarket rearsets, from the Monster frame, is close enough in its relative position to the engine/sump that using the SBK type rear brake master cylinder/pedal setup will have the rear brake lever positioned correctly for use (and not too far versus too close, etc.)
