Title: GSXR Rearsets on GS500
Post by: dowdy80 on December 02, 2015, 02:17:54 PM
Just Got Round To Installing My GSXR Riser Plates Up 2" and back 2" on My 97 GS500, instead of messing with things such as custom brackets i drilled and tapped a new hole  :thumb: anyhows just waiting for the postman to drop off my rearsets and im good to go  :D

I will really like to know where did you get those plate from as well.
Last time I checked, people who made those adapters are no longer active in this forum... :cry:

Stumbled on this and figured I'd include it for search purposes, additional info, etc:

Thanks for the link! I did find that pantablo's write up and it seems pretty easy to do.
But I prefer the idea using the existing riser plate and drill and tap a new hole so it can be use as an adapter for gsxr 750 rear sets.

This kind of rear sets also looks nice (CBR900?) and it is hard to tell the mounting hole has been drilled out.
I am curious how is dowdy80 installation outcome! :thumb:
