Installation of Monster S4R Rearsets on an M1100

[Mhanis]

for the fun of it?

That is plenty good enough reason in my book, I just wouldn't want to deal with "now which way do I shift?"

Which is exactly why I dont ride my brothers BSA, the damn shifter is on the WRONG side!!

This is definately an easy and great looking process.  Thanks to dk1six, he made it possible for my swap on my 796.  Here is a sneak peak.

I followed your instructions and done this simple mod as well. It can be even more simple then you described. You just need two things:

- complete S*R rearsets - eliminates need for a thread extension
- a monster w ABS - eliminates need for a longer break line (routing is different, therefore line is long enough)

Whole process took about an hour to complete, additional 30 minutes to make a bracket (not in photo). Well worth it!

 When I did this I did not use a longer brake line, I just took it out of the plastic housing on the bottom of the swing arm. That gave me just enough slack for it work nicely.

I'll contribute since this is one of the first mods I did...and still one of my favorite! It's hard to beat the "bang for the buck" factor compared to the $600+ aftermarket rearsets.

* ABS bikes result in a cleaner install as they do not require a new brake line or require the brake line to be removed from it's guide housing underneath the swingarm causing the line to hang out.  Simply flip the banjo on the master and your done - the routing runs to the front of the bike to the ABS control unit instead of the rear caliper.  I used the reservoir bracket from the 1100evo...$9 from the dealer.





* the left side does require spacers on the rear lower bolt, stacked washers work just fine as previously mentioned.



* If you get S*R rearsets complete with all the bolts, nuts, and plunger then your all set.  I had to order a couple small parts and extend the 796 plunger will all-thread.  Easy enough to do this just annoying.  All in all its an easy mod and the parts are readily available on eBay.  I hated the stock "chicken wings" as they cluttered up the rear and looked plain stupid.  The install shaves off 3.3lbs for those that care about such things.  It looks great from the rear as well without the chicken wings adding bulk...

Did you have to use the rear brake lever from the S2R or is there a way to make the lever from a 796/1100 work? I purchased a set of rearsets off ebay but neither the shift lever nor the rear brake lever were included.

Thanks

You will need the S*R brake lever.  The 796/1100 and S*R use a completely different configuration for this lever.  You will also need the S*R brake return spring, the pin that secures the brake spring onto the end of the lever and the circlip that locks it into place.  Look at the exploded view for an S4R to get your part #'s.  Luckily, these are all pretty inexpensive parts from your local dealer.  You can use your 796/1100 shift lever + linkages no problem - that side is all interchangeable.  My advise for doing this swap is getting rearsets as complete as possible, it avoids tracking down all these little nuts and bolts like I had to.
