Rear set qustion

Post by matty_boy »

Has any one had any issues with fitting the RHS Rear set and getting the brake lever to fit in the correct place ?

I have a set of Diamond copy's and the brake lever is sitting miles to low, i have adjusted the master cylinder screw thread as far as it will go but still no joy.

Any one got any ideas ?

Ta Matty.

I had this problem with my 600rr, i just made a little extension bracket in there, just a peice of ali about 2" long x 1/2" wide with 2 holes in and linked it in between the cylinder and the lever...

That's one of the problem with the 'one size fits all' rearsets that are all over the net these days. I guess you'll have to knock something up in the shed as Biff says.

Same here! I've also a set of copied Diamonds and had to make a slightly longer than standard bracket too!

I fitted a set of genuine diamond rearsets and the lever is quite low, so fitted a braided line to help with the travel but have now lost some feel.http://www.bikepics.com/pictures/1262957/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
