Here I go...soliciting free goods...again...

Anyway, my budget has flat-lined, but I need rear sets...mainly, I need a right side that has the brake master cylinder bolted to it as opposed to the frame.  I'm having some clearance issues with my new swingarm on my GS.

I would gladly trade wire figures for a set of rearsets...you can see what I make here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/DuncanDesigns

Willing to make any "decent" pose!

Help a fool out! :)

Thought I'd add that I have some other stuff I can trade with:

I have a midpipe/muffler from a FZR600.  I can't remember if it's Vance and Hines or Yoshimura.  It's faded and got some scratches but solid and sounded good.

Wait...I think that's all I have.

Vance and Hines...it's a high quality pipe, but low on aesthetics.  There's a scrape in it and the tag is worn, but the system is solid...no dents and no holes.  Some sandpaper and rubbing compound and it'll look nice and shiny.

I have a couple of sets and mis-matched, not sure exactly what I have. Need pegs too or just the plate?
Common sense in not very common.

I actually need the whole shibang....brackets, pegs, shift and brake levers, shifter link, and I would like to get a master cylinder as well.

I put a wider swingarm on my GS750 and it interferes with the stock rear master cylinder mount, so I need to relocate everything out, and with my clip-ons I would like to get my pegs an inch higher and couple inches further back.

I will dig out what I have... should have both rearset brackets w/ heel plates, pegs, brake pedal, master cylinder, not sure if I have a shift pedal.
Parts may not be pretty but the cost is.

The GS500 shifter attaches to the engine, not to the rearset so there is not a linkage...


What kind of metal do you use for your wire figures? Could you use copper or stainless, (for use outside)? Ever make a dragonfly?

I may be able to keep that same configuration...I'm just worried that my output shaft isn't quite long enough (no pun intended).  Oh and if I got nice, pretty parts they wouldn't match the bike...I couldn't have that.  You might go ahead and hit the brackets with a hammer a bit just to make sure it's up to my standards.



That was my first one...they've gotten a bit better since.  If you like marbles, though, I only have the blue one.

I have about 40lbs of copper wire and enough stainless to last me a long time, though.

That is awesome! My g/f loves dragonflies and one like that would be a perfect addition to some of our gardens or at the pond.

I will go through the parts Saturday.

Excellent...PM me an address and I'll send you a dragonfly.
