Custom Rearsets Opinions, Thoughts, Criticism's please

[Some Dude]

I am going to build myself a set of rearsets soon.  I want something that is a little different and unique.  Here are the two designs I've come up with so far.  The first one is not that much different than what you can buy And I don't think I want to go that way.  The second one is the one I think I want to build.  Please give me your thoughts, opinions, likes and dislikes and please be honest you won't hurt my feelings.  I know I stole the adjustable arm from Cycle Cat But I kind of like it.

Thanks for looking

i think you have your rearset on the wrong side of the bike... should the arm be facing the front??
that second one looks like a cracked piece of aluminum waiting to happen.

Second one is interesting, you may run into some stiffness issues, what material/thickness are you thinking of using?  If machining/material cost isn't an issue have you considered connecting it to one of the lower points on the motor? Edit: swingarm mount hole...duh, that'll probably work fine assuming you machine it to accept the proper pivot shaft.

I've been designing my own sets recently(should have the first pair in my hands on monday) and a big revelation in my design process was deleting the adjustable peg positions.  Unless you plan on growing or selling your design then it's really almost useless, just design them exactly for your size/preference.  This also has the added benefit of cutting down material costs/machine time and complexity.

Just something to think about.

maybe he wants his pegs forward and down?

if he's going after the CC setup, the arm holds the footpeg, and is facing the right direction. it's not for the shifter, the shifter attaches underneath.

interesting that he's also looking to mount it to the swingarm pivot, though

Its oriented the correct direction to make them back and down.

#2 really won't work as currently planned without extensive work - I see you've got a mounting hole similar to the S*R series rearsets. That's going to be a tough modification I think. I like #1 better for rigidity, however I would look to Rizoma-rearset inspiration in the sump-mount for additional rigidity.

Best of luck to you.

You guys that are seeing the forward "hole" and thinking its the peg mount would be mistake, the peg is mounted on the eccentric arm.

Looks good...just like the cyclecats. At least the first one is. I'd suggest keeping the V shape for strength also, and just like someone else said, consider simplifying them to save machining time.  If you are making the pegs mount the same as CCs, let me know because I need spares for mine really bad!

what material/thickness are you thinking of using?

Right now I have the thickness at 14mm (9/16") and the leg that goes up to the frame is 25mm (1") in width.

swingarm mount hole...duh, that'll probably work fine assuming you machine it to accept the proper pivot shaft.

I should have put that in my original post.  I am planing on making a new pivot shaft out of titanium then using a bushing to mount the rearset,  Much like the S*R set up.

I have been following your build and have been waiting for an update.  A big Part of the reason I went with the adjustable CC Style Is that I have a high mount exhaust and I need to space them out so I don't burn my feet.

Bingo

The plan is to build a new pivot shaft out of Ti, so it shouldn't be that much extra work to tie that in.

I've often thought about drawing some up and getting a few quotes on having a bunch made.  Maybe I should do it any Idea what CC Replacements sold for?

$ 19.50 each  Please have some made, but of good quality!

yes, exactly, and we all want a set so see if you can get a bulk discount on the 19.50

same here on the eccentric
